RACER-4-LIFE

i was just wondering how much work will it take in order to reprogram or reinstall a new fuel management system so that a fire would come out from both of the mufflers.
I've seen this volvo station wagen on the track last week, but did not get a chance to talk 2 the guy.
I'm not gonna do it, but how sweet would that b.
DOES IT IN SOME WAY ADD HORSEPOWER????

Why would you want fire? When you see fire out of an exhaust, it is because the car is running rich (too much fuel) and it is getting burnt out of the exhaust. Not good.

You can buy a kit that lets you do this. Check out www.groupbuycenter.com. Too many ricers have this. A Civic Sedan pulled up too me shooting fire out, trying to race, and I thought he had a turbo or something, but I raped him.

Don't even waste your time, you'll only melt your paint.

every watch road racing? it looks so cool when some cars shoot little flames outta their exhausts when they back off the throttle, especially those w/ dual exhaust

You could always run an igniter and have a switch to drip some lighter fluid...

Or you could douse your whole car with gasoline, and strike a match!

I hope u r not speaking from personal experience.

I actually heard that you do run your Air Fuel really rich but to ignite it you need to put a special spark plug into your exaust and thats what ignites it. Like that car in Gone in 60 seconds.(black old car, plymoth or somthing). I heard that car is slow anyway. But fire is usually only a problem. Your exaust is hot enough without flames coming out of it. Hopefully that helps a little bit.

I asked a co-worker who's into older "lead-sleds". He said people used to do this all the time because it looked intimidating. During the gas crisis, no one could afford to do it any more

Basically what these guys are saying is right. You run really really rich so all your fuel isn't burnt up. Then you mount a spark plug at your tip and it causes the flames.

Now, from those road racing cars where you see the exhaust flaming, I believe that occurs during downshifts. When they shift, they run really rich for a second and I guess they're running hot enough with straight pipes so the flames make it all the way through.

Do a search and you'll find ricer-kits for this. I vaguely recall something like this offered on the groupbuy website.
