I assume a TII will shoot better flames than an N/A? Cause those flames are freakin' awesome....its like a flame thrower!!!!!

Will an NA shoot a long *** burst of flame like that or will it be only momentary?

nima taba- an NA can shoot flames like that, but the reason a TII usually seems to shoot bigger flames is because of aftermarket BOVs that are not plumbed into the intake manifold.

When you have a BOV that is atmosphere vented and you shift, the air flow sensor has already measured the air that is let out by the BOV. This means your car has lots more fuel than air during a shift, which means big flames.

there must be some way of making your car do this could you extend the signal wire from the afm and put some kind of switch and resistor combo in between the ecu to make it rich at some point in time?

I just saw an ad in "Turbo and High Tech performance" for a kit to do the whole flame thing... It's 99 bucks.

turbos also shoot more flames because they run richer.

Nope.

The pop is called afterburn. When the rpm of the rotors changes suddenly (like when you take your foot off the gas to shift) a little of the intake charge gets forced past the seal in the chamber into the exhaust charge. This then gets spit out and ignites in your exhaust system. POP!

7s have an anit-afterburn valve that is supposed to spit out a little extra air so that the intake charge will burn off w/o the pop, but it doesn't always work properly.

Afterburn is 100% normal with a rotary engine. It does not mean that you are killing your engine. And it's a great head-turner. Nothing will get people looking at youru car faster than making them think that you are shooting at them.
