Flame Kits

[Easty]

So just seen someone from the States on my Facebook 350z site selling Kitts to make the Z's spit flames......

 

I know I'm a child but I'm kinda interested in to how he's done?

Someone must of head of this before

There used to be kits where you could put a spark plug in the exhaust which would ignite the unburnt fuel, may be well more advanced than this depending on how big the flames were, but please....

 

NO

 

Unless you do it in the correct fashion and put a twin turbo kit on

Hasn't changed, will still just be burning unburnt flames via a spark plug/similar method.

 

Bumper will melt, will look like a tool, pointless mod.

But But But........

 

 

Haha 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[Grundy]

Just seen that post on facebook, looks like a troll winding people up. I.e. he's got boost.

 

 

Fake flames aren't cool

I bought a flamer kit about 10 years back off the net but never got around to using it. It is indeed a spark plug you screw into your exhaust about a foot from the end, then if I remember correctly you wire it up to your car battery & a switch on the dash. I thought it might be a good way of stopping people tail gating me.

Some of the crap kits cut ignition timing to create unburned fuel, N/As don't run rich enough to have unburned fuel to ignite via just a plug in the exhaust so they need a fuel supply....so you can have a nice extra little tank of petrol in your boot to catch fire when some idiot runs into the back of you while watching your really cool flames

Chav Kits

 

Fixed.

[veilside z]

The car cruises in and around Oxford street in London support these in a big way, however i did see video once of a guys rear bumper caught fire, totally unaware until the guy following bought it to his attention.

[jumping350]

Similar to what Veilside had seen and this one didnt even have a flame kit I dont think

 

[Jetpilot]

Just buy an Rx7, used to get about foot long flames on the overun

[LRF4N]

I'm not gonna lie- I loved it when my skyline spat flames out the exhaust

 

But not a fan of fake flames

[Mopedmark]

My Busa flames out on the overrun but that's because of the short pipe and less back pressure

 

[GMballistic]

Every time I read/hear someone mention those tacky "flamer kits" I try to draw their attention to this video...

Hahaha .... That made me laugh alot !! Most times ill say " its your car do how you please with it "

 

On this occasion though ......... Just dont !

[cov350z]

^^^^^^ haha regardless of the flames out the exhaust his engine was taking a battering from that static rev i was expecting the engine to become the flames

[AMT]

That videos hilarious...idiots lol fair enough a quick glimpse from say a supercar but even still... You see all these people on youtube with their cars bouncing off the rev limiters to do it. Someone mechanical help me out in case I'm talking rubbish but I was told that all it takes is for that pressure/flame or whatever to go the wrong way.. Ie back into the engine and your stuffed? Lol

If you are gonna do it, do it properly.

 

[Exec]

Iv read of our cars flaming with test pipes and N/A without boost?

I don't know how credible these stories are

[nissanman312]

Yeah don't have the show without the go.sorry

[Tricky-Ricky]

You might just get a small blue flame on the overrun, but nothing like a turbocharged engine with a non recirc BOV and a MAF,

You will also find that Ferrari's and Lambos etc will also flame because of the cams and being mapped to inject a little fuel on the overrun, but in general as soon as the throttle is closed no fuel is injected.

And to answer AMT question, no nothing bad will happen.
