All it takes is an extra coil and a spark plug mounted back there. Also a switch. hit switch, and plug sparks and flame is born.

yeah but thts cheating...


another way to do it (or so ive heard) with pisston cars is to have a switch that can switch spark from a plug in the engine to a plug in the zorst.

that way you get all the unburnt fuell from the non-exploded piston charge going down and exploding near the end of ur pipe.

i spose you could do the same thing with one of the 'lesser important' plgs on a rotary, but it'd run like crap.

of course that really cant be good for any part of the car.

Very cool flames. I wanna try that on a 84' gsl.
This might seem like a stupid question, but to run the car richer....I have to turn the bottom mixture screw on the carb counter clockwise right??

All those screws do is adjust the idle mixture and speed.
