Hey peeps, put a flamer kit on my car a while back now and kinda gave up with it as it dont flame lol

everything is installed correctly, and there is spark at the plug...the plug is also facing so the exhaust gases can flow through it and ignite....

however....they dont LOL...

ne idea's whats up with the thing? as its kinda been a waste of money at the moment

the car is not running lean either...

thanx for ne help

bassboy

 

Mine has stopped doing it recently too.

 

isnt it the unburnt fuel that gets ignited not purely exhaust gas so if your isnt overfueling then theres nothing to light

probably wrong but perhaps your cars are setup properly

Haven't had it set up since i fitted the flamer and it did it up until a week ago no probs.

 

youve fucked it then

 

how are you trying to get it to flame?

best way ive found is to cane it to near the limit..lift off sharoly then just tap the throttle! tho other peeps swear to lift off slowly and then tap the throttle! maybe its your techniqe it dont just flame willy nilly!

 

50 in 3rd then let off as above did well in my old one

 

i found i could flame best when u just come on boost then gently lift off, used to leave it flamin then give a blip of throttle and it would spit out big flames
maybe time of year has something to do with it more cold air so less fuel wasted,somethin like that.what spark plug you got in it,was in per-ford somethin about using zetec plugs there longer i think

 

hey peeps thanx for the input...i have tried everything and still no luck! redlined in 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th LOL and still nothing! stupid thing LOL...think ill just wait for the SECS ECU to arrive lol

jambo am using the zetec plug as well...still no luck...even tried a Bosch Super 4

oh well...guess its not meant to be

bassboy

 

get ya fuelin checked!...lol...

 

lol james, fuelling is 2% idle...do i have to turn it up even more?!?!

bassboy

 

Mine is 3.5% at idle and is now back working.

 

ksa74f/231bhp - sorry dont know ya real name will turn it up tomo....gonna be harsh as i only just got 140miles to the last tank of optimax LOL

bassboy

 

140miles! lol....glad i dont watch my milage!

mines just been poppin like fook on way back from ipswich!

 

LOL @ James...i think im gonna stop resetting the counter when i fill up lol...wont know whats going on then LOL...

mine pops as it is but just doesnt flame...ill put it on the CO machine tomo and turn it up a bit lol...

by ne chance can you get yours to flame when revving at a stand still?

bassboy

 

Looked good

 

no cant get it to flame when sitting still....really dont like revving it that high when sat there...dont sound right! sounds like its gunna blow!...lol...


was just thinking...you said you had a zetec plug....these come in packs of four dont they? you still got the other 3?..if so wanna sell one?

 

Sorry m8 i'm kev.

 

I can't get mine to flame from still and like James said, doesn't sound good!
I can only get mine to flame when i'm on the motorway and have a good run to get high revs, then drop them slowly, then plant it. It's great at night cos you see everyone backing away from you. One minute everyone's up your arse then they're happy to let you travel by yourself.
You do need to be running your car rich to get the flames as you need the extra fuel to ignite it. If it's running normally then there's no excess fuel for the flamer kit and you might aswell be trying to light snow.

 

lmfao


i have never ever heard a line like that!



trying to light snow!

 

hi, gotta a flamer on mine, co is set 3.5 %, havent had a setup, flames are huge, gotta a 4inch de baffled box though

 

ok kool hello kev

ill get the car on the CO machine tomo now or so i say

will let u know how i get on

bassboy

 

How did you get on m8? Did you set the co?

 

As per jambo,

part throttle til it comes on boost (mine ran 15psi but I would partle throttle so it held 10psi) then just back off the throttle but leave it slightly open. Would flame 9/10 like that.

 

Why not just get twin45s on a 1600 CVH, it flames like a fuker when coming down the gears or when you rev it to 8000 the back off

 

kev - checked the fuelling, it was 5.2% on idle!!!! so it SHOULD have flamed....turned it down to 3.5% and still nothing!...gonna give up now and wait for the new engine etc to be done...shud flame like a right one then lol

essex - tried that as well m8 and still no joy

twin45's - could do that....but my cousins done it already LOL
