shooting flames

sidewaysgt · March 6th, 2010, 09:09 PM

so my boys evo sounds real nice and everytime he redlines or downshifts the car makes a pop-pop-pop and shoots some flames out the tail pipe

how does this happen?

can our cars do this?

JerseyTrueBlue · March 6th, 2010, 09:14 PM

Unused fuel dumped into the exhaust probably from running rich. It's much easier to get a backfire or an "afterburn" from a turbo car then anything else. The only reason your car would do that would be from it not being tuned right (running rich) I know it's cool but trust me not seeing flames from your pipes is a good thing lol. I have seen catless mustangs with the MSD launch control shoot flames at night while bouncing off the 2 step but that's just because the limiter is an ignition cut and a lot of fuel is being dumped. Once again it's only enough to see at night so sorry to dissapoint but you will never get a good pop or flame out of your car.

wow that is kinda disappointing

and he has that exactly a turbo, straight pipes no cats, and a tune, but he has no o2 sensor so maybe thats why its running rich but man do i love driving behind him and watching that thing pop and spark flames

no o2s?

meth. the two evos in the street section i just posted are both running aquamist meth kits. the red one will sometimes shoot flames for over 5 seconds at a time.

The newer V8 Ferrari's will also pop flames on high rev shifts.

ive heard of peoples bumpers catching fire.

sickfox · March 7th, 2010, 12:22 AM

My zx9-r Used to do that at high rpms, and yes it looked fucking sweet.

sidewaysgt · March 7th, 2010, 12:45 AM

yea im trying to make my bike shoot flames too but its not happening either

TheTechnical99 · March 7th, 2010, 01:08 AM

my buddy hacked off the entire exhaust on his 80something f250 before the cats and that bitch would light up the night whenever it shifted. you could see everything on the side of the road light up from the cab. again, it was carbed and running mad lean. have fun doing that on your stang

02GT89 · March 7th, 2010, 01:13 AM

Actually sir's your wrong our cars can shoot flames

get a flamethrower kit

I know they make them for FI cars

used to have one on my carbed motor there a blast! but dangerous on the Fi more so all it does is dump extra fuel to spark a flame and bingo

me playing with my buddies. im telling you meth is the best way.

YouTube- Cobra vs. two Evo's shooting flames

BadBlackGT · March 7th, 2010, 11:21 AM

That looks sick!
+1 probably due to running rich, its a good thing because its on the safe side. MUCH better than running lean.

^^^ that is crazy sexy

the reason evo's and turbo cars shoot flames is because their blowoff valve is venting into the atmoshphere and is after the maf sensor. when they let off the gas the extra air is let out post maf and causes the engine to go rich and therefore causes a backfire. my friend's srt-4 does this too. i've never heard my car backfire once and it probably never will. my bypass valves are vented to the atmosphere but they are pre maf so when they open its not throwing off the a/f count. i'm sure theres a few supercharged guys here running blowoff valves or bypasses vented to the atmosphere that have draw through maf's and i would be willing to bet their cars backfire when they slow down with compression
