Flames through exhaust??

**Ian Old** · 13-12-2001 00:27

I was flicking through a mates copy of Fast car today, and i was reading about Jason ripps Fiesta.

He has a way of throwing flames out the exhaust on command (possable via a switch?)

He said its a little secret, Im intrested in knowing how this was done.

Is something injected into the exhaust pipe? Gas? Petrol?

What do you reckon people??

you tap a sark plug into the back box, wire it up via a second coil operated by a switch in the car, flip the switch and it ignites unburnt vapour in the exhaust, and BANG

Can`t see the back box enjoying that too much

**Cemesis** · 13-12-2001 08:21

Or the car behind.

...Jason was driving his car along minding his own business when he decided the car behind was just a little too close...

If you look on the RS owners club Bulletin Board theres several posts about how to do it on there.

I Beleive this only works best on turbo`d lumps as normal assperated engines SHOULDNT pump that much unburnt fuel into the exhaust.

Correct me if i`m wrong.

**Big Bad Al** · 13-12-2001 13:31

Yeah Rig, I read something along those lines too

**Gary** · 13-12-2001 13:38

correct.. leave it to the turbo boys.

not big and not that clever really imo

...unless you are running a carb and a manual choke

cant u turn off your ignition when driving, boot it some then turn it back on??

or does that only give you that MASSIVE back fire noise?

I can see fatalities from the schrapnel.......

**tomstickland** · 13-12-2001 14:49

Plus on a n/a engine the shock wave coming down the exhaust pipe doesn't always do the exhaust valves a lot of good. So I'm told.

**DarrenH** · 13-12-2001 17:08

yup tom, ive had physical proof.

**nickyboy** · 13-12-2001 17:24

Has anyone actually read the article?

Its a g reg MK3 with MK4 everything, interior, tailgate, bumpers, wings, lights etc.

Umm.. is it not easier to buy a MK4???? Or is that too simple for a F**d driver

**Mk3Matt** · 13-12-2001 17:58

hehe, to simple i think

**DaveB** · 14-12-2001 15:32

My car will be blowing flames soon into the new year. So i will tell you if it damages anything of whether or not a lowly 1.4 engine can do it.

Yes but I wouldnt recomend it inless you want to wind up with a ****ed inlet manifold.
