msd cuts ignition on rev limit. so you could just get a 5k rev limit chip and raise your fuel presure. then just floor it in neutral...

The car will likely do that if you shift right around redline, or drive at high RPMs and then quickly come off the gas and hit the brakes.

you need to SEARCH, by the way.

you could probably strait pipe it, and as long as your running a lil rich there should be no problem... or you could buy a flame kit on ebay, sweet

Yeah.... for as cool as it looks/sounds, for an n/a, it's a sign that you're running too rich, and let's face it, not running at peak power is never cool

HE probably has cats in. Rx7's shoot flames on their own with "race" exhaust systems.

properly tuned cars dont "spit fire",,, they pop "ignite" unburned fuel that gets spit into the exhaust. Usually will happen when your driving and the exhaust is real hot, and you let off the throttle and get back on again *while the car is in gear/load".

but since you want to do it for the looks without spending the cash of doing it properly *poser*, you could get one of these kits http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NISSA...spagenameZWD1V

I set set my aux port to dump alot of extra fuel over a certain RPM but i still cant shoot flames. I just smell raw fuel out my exhaust even when i'm driving hard and my manifold should be plenty hot!! why is this?

I thought you guys would have been meaner to this guy for posting a"rice question". Please dont do this to your fc. This is honda stuff. Buy a civic, then hit up autozone for all the bells and whistles, after you buy your ebay flame thrower kit. Auto zone has all the hot ****. Chrome weather guards and/or door mouldings, skull stickers, spraypaint to do your interior (make sure you dont prep it right for that special touch). They have motherfuckin seat covers with flames on them to match the exhaust kit. WOW.
