Default Flamer Kits on RS Turbos!

Hi Guys,

I know most of you will say they are gay but just wanted to ask...

How do you get them to flame, I had one on my Zetec S (lame I know) and I had to flick an engine cutoff switch which let the fuel go straight through to the zorst and boom!

I know on Turbos they are different and just wondered if it would flame after I revved high and let off the gas or what?

Thanks

Basically will work on the over run i.e. the excess fuel being put down your exhaust being ignited by the spark plug in the tail pipe. So it would do it if use the gears to engine brake down a hill for example. To get reasonable flames on an RST it would mean your fuelling wouldn't necessarily be set up for the best performance or economy though cos your delibrately overfueling it.

Oh
At the minute it pops and burbles but I havent put my flamer in it as yet!
I might put it in later as it is lying about and there is a plug in the backbox already

Worth a try, but I wouldn't go messing with the mixture to get it to work.

IMO, you dont need a Flamer Kit, infact you dont even need a DV.

Mine is only modded with a chip and exhaust and bigger actuator so I dont think it is at the stage of throwing natural flames

One day maybe....

Just got it fitted but I havent got enough wire Damn!

ok its a fact that the mfi management aint the best and masifly over fuels anyway as getting it set proper is a right coooooont, try it and i bet it works, just dont ffs wire it up of the cars actual coil like a twat i know did

flick the switch and the fooker missed everywhere, flamed though

trust me most turbo powered cars flame anyway, mine flames as standard

Will get some more wire from Halfrauds tommorow and a decent switch so I can turn the spark on and off in case I get caught or it flames in a petrol station

Hopefully it will do something, in the ZS i could hear the flames!

Can you in the RS/Cossie?
