Can an FD do this?

I know and FD will shoot flames after getting a turbo back exhaust. But will it shoot mega flames liek this supra does?

HOly Crap!

:bigeyes:

That will take care of those pesky tailgaters! I wonder if its possible to shut the flames off by turning down the boost or changing the fuel setup in the car?

Pretty Sweet!!!

MDoMe7 05-08-02 05:18 PM

i wish i can do that... i hate tail gaters

cyanide 05-08-02 05:26 PM

you could possibly blow someone's engine that way. say a person was tailgating you, and just then a huge flame came out your exhaust. the other car would have to be a turbo car with a front mount intercooler of course. the flame would bake the intercooler and raise their air intake temperatures to god knows what, and kill their engine

dial in some extra fuel and remove the cat. i have some video of my car doing that, every gear. no shit. however, on the supra, it almost seems delayed, and done with the good ole spark plug trick, but something tells me that a guy in a nice supra would not do that. cause then it would cease to a nice supra and transform to a rice supra....

unplug your map sensor once.. lol

Jeez, I have never seen a Supra shoot flames like that. I have some vid tape my buddy shot while following me on an Angeles Crest run where my Supra shot flames a couple times, but it was real fast and much much smaller than in that vid. Something else is going on there, if not the spark plug trick then dialing in a ton of fuel on a VPC might do it.

I wonder if he's cutting the ignition completely, then turning it back on???

r0gu3 05-08-02 07:23 PM

I thought key banging only worked on carbs, not fuel injected ...

happyham 05-08-02 08:24 PM

maybe he has a thinner exhaust? or maybe when blipping the throttle to shoot flames for distance, having 6 cylinders pushs the flames farther than it would for a small displacement rotary engine.

he is definitely not turning off the ignition.

tymmeRX7 05-08-02 08:56 PM

i wishi could see it so i can do it too.

Nameless 05-08-02 08:58 PM

maybe its doctored? looks kinda weird on a couple of the runs. Its really cool though hehehe.

c00lduke 05-08-02 09:09 PM

I think it looks majorly fake, to much like a star burst, takes up the whole screen with white light but it is while he is speeding up with i didn't know could happen, but hey, i really dont know anything at all

Import Convert 05-08-02 09:10 PM

GOOD GAWD!!!!! wish mine did that!

dzungh 05-08-02 09:13 PM

There are kits you can buy so you can shoot flames. I'm not saying it's fake, but you never know.

noon 05-08-02 09:32 PM

The video IS real, I'm sure a search at supraforums will uncover more videos and pictures.

1FAST7 05-08-02 10:31 PM

that is crazy. are there any fd videos with shooting flames?
