Discovery of the Nitrous / Methanol Drag Turbo Anti Lag System

After fighting with the installation of a larger turbo (B/W Airwerks S510/91mm), trying to find a way to quickly spool this monsterous sucker with an automatic transmission and a tight torque converter (in this paricular test, a 2,800 rpm torque converter stall speed), we finally stumbled across a very interesting tuning discovery. We've always used nitrous to help quickly spool whatever turbo was on the car, but this is something different. This is more than just simply injecting nitrous.
This video shows the point where we had become aware that we had discovered a new type of turbo ALS (anti lag system) that we ended up developing further to become the Nitrous/Methanol Drag Turbo Anti Lag System with Afterburner Augmentation. Probably the most significant advancement of drag turbo anti lag technology in the past decade, not to mention the advancement of the use of nitrous with methyl alcohol (methanol) fuel.
Our spool assist valve was not used in these tests.
Through special engine configuration and tuning settings, oxygen is chemically passed to the exhaust system without the need of having to cut the ignition to any of the cylinders, thereby providing a simple, ULTRA smooth and quiet turbocharger anti lag, or quick spooling system. This turns out to be even more effective than just using nitrous injection in the more traditional manner to spool the turbo. This allows a small engine using a nitrous/methanol mix to spool a large efficient turbo with a turbine side that will provide the much coveted crossover affect, opening the door to more radical turbo camshaft designs.
Nitrous/methanol mixes have come to be known to provide sub standard hp levels for a given jet size rating. Particularly when large shot sizes are being used. This system recovers all of that lost rating in a very beneficial manner.
This system does not use the common pop and bang als method so often seen in turbo drag racing today. It is much easier on the engine, exhaust system, and turbocharger.
This new turbo anti lag system was accomplished in spite of the fact that we are using a distributorless wastespark ignition system. Or, maybe because of it?
I expect only the most adroit tuner to truly grasp the concept and significance of this new system.
Warning: This type of turbocharger drag anti lag system is for the most skillful tuners only.

Doesn't seem to launch on boost..... maybe it's just me.

@badopinion First time, conservative test of a new tuneup, as explained in the video. Need I say more?

[DonW21G]

Are we really comparing a Buick Grand National to a Honda Accord? Good grief.

[bossplayah05]

If there's any Aussies here the motor is the same as our vn-vy lol

[DonW21G]

@bossplayah05 Wrong by a long shot.

[GE24Tony]

what car is that?

[DonW21G]

@GE24Tony 1984 BUICK Grand National

@AOGDC10 alright my bad ill need to go find that 1984 honda accord and see if i can strap a back to the future rocket on it :-)

[AOGDC10]

Absolutely awesome concept!!!! Leave it to a Buick GN drag guy to figure out how to spool a giant turbo... you guys do it like brain surgeons. I've always wondered what venting the BOV to the turbine inlet would do with a rich spike & throttle closed? Would such a thing work? It wouldn't do a damn thing for a drag launch. Would it cause a crazy flow-stall? Such a thing might be very critical on cam setup.

@elewsive It's a 1987 Buick Grand National. Don't you remember 1987 when all other cars were shit?

[SkylineR034]

finally.. all i wanted to hear was a decent turbo before i slept and now that i have i happy, so thanks!

[elewsive]

you spent money on fixing up a buick LOL!!!! oh man

[S1LENTJOK3R123]

Cool car

[ThySyN]

Gorgeous car.
