exhaust flame

i wanted to know how did they get the flames to come out the exhaust in the fast and the furious. It looked tight was it the nos or something else.

I wouldn't suggest pondering on the idea, It's stupid!!! But if you want to I heard that you could wire up a spark plug to your exhaust and to a button and hit the button, rev up and wall-llah, flames. But please don't do it, it's so retarded!!! Don't mess up a nice car!
It's Just a MOVIE!!!

you don't even have to hook it up to a button, just put a spark plug in your exhaust and rev! But it's all for show, and it doesn't help performance at all, and it'll probably attract the 5-0 if you have that in your car all the time.

so wait, how do you make the flames ? just throw a spark plug down ur exhasut or what ? how does the exhaust gas make fire, shouldnt u need some kidna spark, cuz ur fumes arent explosize are they ?

Most of the cars you see that have flames exiting the exhaust are ones that discharge unburnt fuel into the exhaust. When the fuel enters the hot exhaust it is ignited producing the flame. It has no real purpose except that it looks cool.

so how do i get extra fuel to discharge thru my exhaust ?

Well...you can up the fuel pressure so that the car runs extremely rich and then you might be able to get the flame. But it is pointless and I don't see the reason why everyone wants to do this.......:rolleyes:

well i can make it run rich on a carb still, but how hi will i have to rev it to get flames ? lol i jsut wanna c if this really works

carb?????? the 88 civics are all fuel injected. The revs need to be pretty high.

read the description of me again, its an 88 accord, do i really need to make the fuel mixture richer or jsut rev it up to like 5500-6000-6500 ? thanks--and how do i get the spark plug to stay in my exhaust without hurtin anything ?

Ah, I gotcha now. Sorry about that.:) Yes you need to run somewhat rich to get the flames. The other way is to just use the spark plug trick. I have no clue on to how to make it stay in there...sorry:(

lol yea i know i g2 use the spark plug trick, i can jig rig it in there, but will it make fire on a stock fuel-air mixture ? or do i still have to riched it ?

yes, it can be done. it's been done before by rednecks. do you wanna be a redneck?


it really works. dont waste your time since it seems you wouldnt be able to do it anyways, especially if you assume you just "chuck a sparkplug into your exhaust"

Just screw a spark plug into your exaust and flood the engine. When you turn it over flames will exit from the exaust.

I must ask, what is the point? I think it is dumb.

hell no i dont wanna be a redneck, but i'll admit to bein a pyro. lol. i know u jsut dont throw a spark plug into ur exhuast, im not an idiot, i know i have to drill a hole and mount it off the end of my muffler. i just used thta as an example. but yea i wanna try it and c if it works, i don thitnk it will tho, if u throw a spark plug into a gas tank, it does ignite, do y would gas flowing over the plug head ignite >?

figaro4038, if i ever saw a flame shoot out of your car, and found out that you meant for that to happen, i'd kick your ass, then set your car on fire...but you wouldn't mind...you're a pyro. This is the stupid thing i've ever heard. If you're looking for an asskickin...then go buy a Apex'i a/f controller, run it rich, shoot a flame and voila...i'll kick your ass......:rolleyes:

soul180, you couldnt kick my ass if i sat on ur foot. i'll do whatever the fuk i want to my car, i think it would be kool to do that to get a few laughs. jsut seeing which one of you could actually help n not try to bust down a plan a mine. haha kick my ass....thanks that one was soo funny it just made my day......LOL......Canadians with civics......damn

well this a trick from the old days of big blocks, when about 75% of exhaust fumes was unburnt fuel making it relatively easy to make a flame (using the spark plug trick), but we live in an age where our four bangers are only spitting out 25% of unburnt fuel which can make things quite abit more difficult. as someone intelligent stated its just a movie, a crappy one at that, and that would be a lot of work for little pay off. but if u do it post pics.

Ok, flames out the tailpipe. That's just about the most Godawful idea I've heard brought up since immediately after the Fast and the Furious came out. ( :bloated: dur :bloated: ) Shame on you. Everyone here is dumber for having listened to you. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. :rolleyes:
