Anyone here with there 2.0 s/c's shooting sparks or fire?? I saw this nicee blue srt-4 yesterday and he was shooting sparks n fire out of his exhaust tips.. ne1 here with a cobalt doing this?

 

I've seen evos's, sti's, and supras shoot em out. Why do they do that anyway?

 

With most f/i cars, no cat, no res, straight exhaust will do it.

 

^good job... now everyone is going to hack up their exhaust and run a straight pipe... just to see sparks LOL

 

I believe its more of a turbo'd car thing than a S/C but not 100% sure. My brothers Audi A4 with APR stage 3+ kit w/o a cat would put out 2' flames.

 

When they shoot fire/spaarks its due to no restriction of gas and heat running through your manifold. that isnt the only way to do that. you can order kits that will allow you to shoot fire/sparks wihtout striaght pipes.

 

It's the turbo'd cars...some are set up to dump extra fuel after the throttle is released to keep the turbo spooled, and can cause a backfire w/lightshow when the gas is let up from a high rpm. Don't think that would ever be needed on a s/c car, for obvious reasons.

 

I think it is more of a turbo'd car thing. My buddy removed the resonator on his WRX with a TBE and he shot flames last week.

 

Yea i have seen more of turbo cars do it, my friends evo with a turbo back exhaust, and catless dp does it, does it on the highway after getting on it then crusin in 4th gear.

 

Its basically the extra gases burning up in the exhaust.

 

LoL, it shoots out flames because its running excessively rich, which is a bad thing, you make less power when running rich. Im not exactly sure if the heat from the exhaust ignites the excessive fuel or not...

 

This Ford GT shoots blue flames. You can see it near the end of the movie.

My Protege does it.. It's Catless

 

remove the cat and you'll shoot flames

 

Basically

 

I hope to get the weapon r soon and I already have no resinator so we'll see what happens.

 

Do you think a 2.2L without a cat could shoot flames or does it have to have FI.

 

I doubt it not sure though. I imagine you would need f/i.

 

blue flames usually ewual nitrous if i'm not mistaken. my jetta used to shoot flames the best part about it was the side pipe. i scared many a persons driving down the road. and i'm lucky i never got pulled over for it.

 

not unless you have something wrong with your car and are able to get around the revlimiter.

 

friend of mine shoots flame when racing hard he has a 05 ss/sc he has full exhaust no cat replaced w/ small resonator and magnaflow muffler he also has alot of mods to the engine.

 

yes its more common for turbos, its because they feed off of exhaust why the turbine goes, but thats what i think, cause superchargers dont feed off of the same ****

 

It's the unburned fuel, its super hot going down the pipe, but no air to burn it, when it reaches the end of the pipe "oh look! air! BOOM!!!" It looks sweet though!
This is the best flaming exhaust video I'v found so far.

Maybe on video games...

j/k

Nitrous really after being sprayed into the combustion chamber is really just oxygen after the nitrogen has burned off from the heat. So being that it's just oxygen left over, it's end result will be just like any other f/i application.

 

That's not really it...

Regardless of how the exhaust leaves the motor, whether if it goes through a turbine first or just goes down a regular exhaust manifold, it's going through your exhaust the same way and in the same manner.

Another reason it happends more so on turbocharged applications...

Oil - Turbochargers use oil to cool down the turbocharger. What can happen alot of times is that the oil seals might leak from the center section and into the turbine housing a bit excessively. Now instead of excess fuel causing backfire, you have excess oil causing backfire. Usually bad oil seals are due to too much oil pressure or just age.

Basically everyone, it's incomplete burned fuel (or in some cases oil) that explode in the exhaust system.
