Cossie Flaming question...
I was on the motorway last night, giving it some beans, with a mate following behind me, and my cossie popped a big flame, that ran up the back of the car.
Now, i tried and tried again, but it only done it once out of 40 odd times, and i dunno how i done it. I tried throttle, then coming off quickly hoping the overrun fuel would ignite, but only a tiny blue flame came out.
Is there a throttle "technique" that will make it flame? or is it just by chance they do it? When do they dump fuel in the most?
I wanna burn some people!
ive seen cossies that flame like mad, and i assume thats down to the chip setup.

I don't think there's any paticular throttle technique, mine does it alot and my misses said yesterday coming back from NMS it was doing loads and the flames were lasting too..
I'll have proper ones in a few weeks the car is going to MA Developments for Autronic and i'm having the Anti-lag again like i had on my Evo..

alot of it is to do with overun fuel and if you have generated enough heat into the housing

unles the system is running slightly richer because of somethng else and when you lift off the unburt stuff that is sitting in the exhaust system is what's getting torched?

dojj most will dab a extra bit of fuel in at high end intail overun to combat a bit of heat

As you've mentioned, when out on track cars are on full chat most of the time and things get very hot, just get Karl to do you some over run..

my old saff on greens used to flame like a bastard, just take your car to engine advantages, let them fuck up the "mapping?!" so it sits on about 9% C.O and does about 15MPG. It will go like a bastard, on ful throttle, be rubbish everywhere else, but the flames you get as all the bore-washing fuel pours out of the exhaust are awsome, when I backed off on long down hill, it used to be like a fucking flame thrower, it would stick out a great big long orange flame, then as you pressed the clutch to change down it would flash over the boot

so will the chip need adjusting? or can it be done with the idle mixture screw? i dont want it to blow fuck-off flames all the time.
