Cheapest backfire
Evening all,
This maybe a chavvy question but im interested in the theory behind it, sooo I happened to come across a car meet a few weeks back where a mk6 fiesta (zs maybe) was backfiring shotgun shots even when not particularly revving it.
I know an excess of unburned fuel causes a backfire and the car in question had cheap mods so I can only assume he wasn't using after market management (omex etc).
So my question is how how would you suspect he'd done it? Can you buy chips to allow a little more fuel, advance the timing using adjustable pulley's, bigger injectors, or something else? Are there any repercussions from running more fuel other than killing the cat?
Thanks

How it's done with little to no revs answers the question - a flamer kit. Basically a spark plug in the tailpipe and a can of gas in the boot piped down into the tailpipe as well.
A switch in the cabin lets you shoot a flame out the back and revving it a little gives the illusion that it's shooting out as unburnt fuel.
Not particularly convincing and not very impressive IMHO
