Sparks280zt Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 i have a 3 foot open 2.5 inch mandrel downpipe and needless to so it shoots flames easily and often, i was even pulled over for it and the officer was bewildered as to how flames were shooting from under my car.

Tony D Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Yeah, I had an open downpipe for a while, and flames were commonplace. Cops tend to notice you after dark... Muahahahahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ON3GO Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 mine did it alot.. even scared the hell out of a modded WRX owner in town who was behind me... thought i was gonna toast his bumper! my supra i had the "supra Flame mod" on it and shot some good 10 foot or so flames.. i still have it some where in florida in a box.. might put it on a Z. its the oldschool spark plug hot rod mod, some supra guy on supraforums made a few kits back in the day. was fun! my blue Z's exhaust dumps to the side of the drivers door now so im sure ill see all the flames now! mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 73Turbo240z Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 with a 3" downpipe, the holset, and MSnS... i'm sure all the flames i could want and more are just a small tune tweak away... and i fully plan to use it to freak people out lol.

proxlamus© Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 73turbo240z... just make the decel amounts alot when your off the gas... they will spit em out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
violacleff Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Mine was shooting bearings a few weeks ago Anyhoo, how do you tune for flames? I'm guessing it would sacrifice performance with such rich spots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proxlamus© Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 http://www.msefi.com/viewtopic.php?t=10761&highlight=shoot+flames this is a good thread.. hehe with megasquirt or any other standalone efi... changing the deceleration enrich percentages to like 100% or something... and as long as the exhuast is HOT.. otherwise the unburned fuel will NOT ignite mine ignites whenever it's hot... and i can hear popping on deceleration.. any shifting over 3,500 RPM shoots flames.. and lettting off the gas after full boost. oh yeh.. also retarding the timing alot when declerating alot will do that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnusx1 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 When I was at Limerock Park, the recirulator hose from my blowoff valve popped off. That caused it to run real rich on decel. My friend was chasing me around the track in his STI and got freaked out by my flamethrower tailpipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bastaad525 Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Proxalamus - pretty impressive drifting in that video of yours. Do you have an LSD? Don't see it listed in your sig. My car with the open diff get's CRAZY if I push hard thru a turn... too much torque, very skinny tires and an open diff. I haven't really TRIED to drift it like that, but I always feel like if I did I'd spin it. I thought you really need an LSD to get good smooth drifts like that.

MaTTSuN Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 a couple year back i drifted the tires off with my open diff. my front end was 2 high and i would understear if i didnt drift and drive like a mad man made for good watching no doubt as i slid sideways threw almost every gate haha most fun ever. A LSD must be amazing my turbo spun both wheels the other day for a brake stand with the open diff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony D Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Anyhoo, how do you tune for flames? I'm guessing it would sacrifice performance with such rich spots. It's easy, Decel Enrichment to 100% on the old Standalone! It was on speed channel where they interviewed a bunch of mechanics for the WRC. They point blank asked why the turbos shot flames, and to a man, every single one of the team mechanics and engineers said the same thing: "FOR THE FANS!" They all said since they are not fuel restricted on the short stages they run, the fuel they waste on the "flame show tuning" is not detrimental in the least bit for any of the teams, and "besides, the fans love it!" One gent said something along the lines of "the fans wouldn't be nearly as enthusiastic if we tuned the flames out, which we can do---easily. We asked what they liked, and they all loved the flames, so we tune 'em big and fat for nice flames!" So there is no real detriment---unless you have a full exhaust system, because I have firsthand knowledge that you can damn well launch a muffler with raw gas in the exhaust when it ignites!!!

HeatRaveR Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 I'm assuming shooting flames out the back hella screws up the catalytic converter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
