How to shoot flames?
I was wondering how people with REX's shoot flames I know that a large single turbo with no cat will do it.
If I have 99 spec turbo's with a catco cat and a racing beat dual cat back will it be possible.Or will I have to put on a m/p? |
You need a free flowing exhaust (so no cats). Thats really it honostly. If you're looking for the 1 foot flames then you'll need an aftermarket ecu so you can richen up your mixture a bit. That'll help some. I dont see the point. Burns the bumper and cops pull you over because they have no idea what your car just did.
|
So if your shooting flames but have a cat on, doesnt it burn it up?Or doent the flames shoot back up through the d/p? into the turbo.Wouldnt it be better if there is a m/p on?
|
i doubt you will beable to throw any flames with that cat but then again, i have heard of cars with cats throwing blue flames at idle.
|
cant people with hi flow cats on still shoot flames after WOT runs? I've always heard of that happening.
|
Whats up with shooting flames? My car does it but so what?
|
Now you guys got me wondering if I need a c/f plate on my bumper.I dont think Ive ever shot flames though never really checked.
|
Yes you can shoot flames with a stock cat, DP, stock ECU and a cat-back even. Not intentionally by design or planning in my case, but yes. Mainly on decel from high rpm lifting off full throttle when the mix is still rich. ;)
|
I've shot flames before with a high flow cat installed. It's much easier with a midpipe, though :D
|
nice, rich running ECU (lovin my Pettit) and mp....it's beautiful....terrifies rice kids with rap music
*wipes sentimental tear from eye* ;) |
What are some of the pro/con's of running m/p?? I have one but never installed it.I heard of bad boost spikes.Im running a PFC.
|
Im running a resonated MP, HKS DP, and RB exhaust. No boost creep at all. Car is non-sequential, so at about 4k the boost spikes to 10.5psi for less than a second, the drops right to 10.
Best way to get flames are riding it all the way to redline with 100% throttle, then completely letting off and leaving it in gear still. Thats pretty much the only time mine flames. I dont see the point though. I guess its kinda cool, but it just turns my tips black. |

DP+MP+CB=Flames
|
I have a downpipe, stock cat (i think, if its not stock its nothing special), and pfs cat-back and NO other mods, my car shoots flames anytime i redline and let off (free rev or between shifts while driving)

What is that hose for on your muffler?
|
imma sound like a dumb ass what the fuck is m/p pfc and all that stuff short for
|
lol... that's a spark plug and spark plug wire. Not a hose. It's to make sure that any gas coming out the exhaust lights on fire... guess that guy really likes to put on a show.

M/P = Mid pipe (straight pipe to replace the stock main cat) PFC = Apexi Power FC (stand alone computer, fully programable, replaces stock ECU) |
The spark plug thing is AWESOME AHAHAHa

Its a cult thing, really though, it shouldn't be dawged especially because didn't Rx7club.com promote that in a bad ass video made in Korea, and almost every single rx7 practicing the art of throwing flames and fireballs. |
They make a propane kit that you attach to your exhuast that will shoot flames. It is not street legal but who cares.
