BASIC TUNING PARAMETERS
It is important that the basic tuning parameters are discussed with a trained professional, please consult your ECU
manufacture. There are a few basic parameters that are worth noting.
Motor polarity is important,
Due to the nature of PID controllers (Proportional-integral-derivative controller) the Anti lag
valve
will be targeting a set position, this will move further away if the motor polarity is wrong as it’s trying to reach it’s
setpoint.
Current limitations
, it is important that the Current that is driven through the motor is limited to no more than 20amps for
more than 1 second and 5 amps for more than 5 seconds. It is important that the current values such as the dead band are
correctly set in the ECU to allow for the motor to only be active if needed.
Sensor Diagnostic limits
should be monitored for values that are lower than 0.1V and higher and 2.15V with respect to
the Temperature sensor and 0.1V-4.9V with the position sensor. It is also recommended that safety tuning strategies are in
place to lower temperatures if the Anti lag valve internally reaches a temperature of 150degC (302degF).
Valve Position limits
should be set to target 0% for valve closed and 90% for completely open, Since the design of the
end stops is biased to operate better with the valve in the closed position it is recommended to avoid opening the valve to
full lift.

WHAT’S NEW
Our Electronic Anti-Lag Valves are a direct fit upgrade to all 5th-generation Turbosmart Anti lag valves and feature our unique collar-
locking system, variable motor cap and base, strap-type V-band clamps, liquid-
cooling, 1/8″ NPT ports.
Control
With the introduction of the electronic motor to drive the Anti lag valve, a new level of control is now available to antilag control
strategies, there is a wide range of tuning strategies that can be implemented to better control how antilag is operated. This allows
the engine to maintain much better control of how the Anti lag valve is operated.
Adjustability
The 5th generation Anti lag valve range has been designed with maximum user-adjustability, without comprising performance. We
designed this unit with almost infinite possibilities of directions in which the motor assembly can be mounted with the engine bay. So,
if you need the Anti lag valve mounted in the opposite orientation to stop fouling with parts within the engine bay, there is an orientation
that is suitable for the Anti lag valve to operate in. This mixed without the need of having to remove and reassemble due to changes
in base spring pressure the Anti lag valve has next level control adjustability of the position of the valve.
Upgrades and Servicing.
Due to the modular construction, the new range is also upgradeable and completely serviceable, as all components can be removed
or upgraded. Components have been tested for over one million cycles so reliability will be rock-solid.
Flow and Thermal Performance
Our new range of Anti lag valves out-flow all competitors thanks to our world-leading engineering and simulation abilities. Thermal
performance has been improved drastically compared to our nearest rival, and all Anti lag valves feature liquid cooling ports for further
thermal performance if required.
