what exactly causes flames to come from the exhaust? i mean what mods...i know its when the car backfires.

 

no emissions. i.e no cats, or air pump and stuff... and a straight through muffler system helps too.

 

hehehehe i dunno what the previous owner did but it kicks *** the mufflers around 6k have like a little flame ball in them from far away it looks like the inside of the tips are orange... then when i mash it somemore and take it to 7300 and shift i get nice 1 foot long flames out of both mufflers

 

my car has no smog pump no cat just two mufflers... hehehe 3 inch all the way back

 

How far away is the fuel tank from the tail pipe? Maybe 1 or 2 foot. Flames are cool.

 

Are you talking about the car that you just bought?

 

NO air pump, no cats, header helps, and a free flow muffler. Revv it up to 8k, then let off till 6k, then punch it to throw some MASSIVE flames. Also, shift at like 8k rpm will also shoot a nice flame. Flames RULE!!!

 

ok, I was gonna start a new thread but since this one's already going..

I'm a little upset that I haven't been able to throw flames with my new RB exhaust on my 88 TII.. I've tried everything, high shifts, letting off at high rpms and then flooring it, downshifting into high rpms, etc.. and I get nothing..

I have the strait thru exhaust(no cats) which I thought was all I needed.. and other than a walbro, my car's stock.
My air pump is still intact, but the valve underneath the car isn't going anywhere, so I can't imagine that'd be messing with anything. Is the air pump effecting anything else? Also I've restricted the stock airbox a little more for the time being.

Can you see anything with my setup that might be stopping me from shooting flames? Am I not running rich enough?

 

With a RB full exhaust, you "should" throw flames. I can't imagine the air pump causing too many problems. Can you smell gas when you stand behind the car as it is running?

 

it has an interesting smell.. not the usual gas smell I know of, but more like a baked good or something, not sure how to describe it..

 

Get an aftermarket BOV. That's all you still need.

 

is it possible to shoot flames through a bonez superflo cat system?

 

my dynomax system shoots flames even with emissions and a straight through cat.......(how, i dont know).......but its not even running too rich.......

 

My bumper's burnt where the muffler sits...give character to my baby
