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..

staffi that will complete that car

boXXer

so do you literally just have to shut the throttle off completely at high revs/boost, and it "should" flame?

mk2rstaff

get a spark plug a coil and i flamer controller and of ya go mate

Jay,

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

boXXer

nah fuck that! thats the PROPER chav way of doing it. If it dont flame naturally, i'd rather it not flame at all.

boXXer

but is overrun fuel dumped most with throttle shut off and high revs?

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

yes it is but mine will flame alot lol when the exh housing is hotter than norm

boXXer

i seee! well, i was giving it quite a bit last night for 60 miles, so it must have been hot enough

mk2rstaff

hi again jay, so does it have any effect on what type of exhaust you have as mine has more boxes than father crimbo

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

nah seen others flash mine only has one , me and chip was put mapping one night added a bit more ignition and a shit load of overun fuel and it flamed its tits ( tech term ) off all down the 303

mk2rstaff

hopefully changing my 3dr for an esc cos in two weeks and it has a drain pipe for an exhaust so it should do it, could i bring it to you jay for a scan over mate???

dojj

iTrader: (3)

but it shouldn't be doing that, should it?
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?

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

yeh we can put the wideband on and have a look see

mk2rstaff

superb mate, but whats a wideband

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

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

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

afr gauge to check ur fueling what the rolling road peeps put ut the exhaust

Mie sends flames from the exhaust. quite a bit...and I think its when I have given it some beans and then let the throttle off quick!

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

a natural flame is more manly than a br8es up the pipe

boXXer

Thats what overrun fuel is for though! to cool the bores down. If you look at race cars, they flame like fook for that reason.

boXXer

Thats what i was trying. at 4k, full throttle to 6k, then flicking off the throttle very quickly, but it wouldnt do it.

think i need to ask Mr. Norris and see if he can add some overrun for me!

Mike, was it flaming when you'd just given it death so to speak??

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

boXXer

yeah i think so. Literally after going from 3rd, full throttle all the way to 5th @ 6k. then came, off, and thats when i think it popped the flame. I was too busy looking where i was going to see it properly. but i cant remember if i came completely off the throttle or not.

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.

i got a CO2 meter, so i wouldnt fuck it up anyway. i just thought maybe there was something you could do with the throttle to help it a bit. if i gently press my throttle on overrun, it pops quite loud through the exhaust, i wondered if that would help at all.
