85 turbo blows fire out exhaust

My 85 turbo blows blue flames out it's exhaust. the car had been sitting for about 9 months,and when I first drove it after that, blue flames and then actual orange flames shot out the tailpipe. It only seemed to be doing this when I let off the gas, either to shift, or when braking. Help???? It has completely ruined my exhaust pipe and started melting my bumper a bit. I have since stopped driving it to save problems with the cops!!

Same thing happened to my first ZedX when it came out of storage.

Everytime I would give it a hard rev, and let off, it would pop a few orange's out the back. I liked it :D .

It's just the car burning rich due to it sitting for so long. Give it a while. It shouldn't have ruined your pipe, I dont think... Any other opinion's here guys?

It's perfectly normal for a turbo to backfire when letting off the gas... especially an older car that has been sitting...

Doesnt even have to be a turbo, but it is more likely.

My buddies Eclipse GS-X with 4G63T powertrain (500+bhp, nice) had 3 inche straight back piping from the turbo, eveytime he would even TOUCH the throttle, it would start spewing flames. It was a site to behold :D .

Look AWESOME when he took that thing down the track.

Anyways, I wouldnt worry too much about your little flame thrower there... Sounds kinda cool, haha.

HA.....yea...be grateful it doesn't blow smoke like mine did a little.....started turning my bumper black....till the muffler came off........ :icon16:

Yeah, I hope it's nothing major, it did ruin my cat and the car is disgustingly loud now. I sure miss driving that car, and yes it does look kinda cool blowing flames! Mabee, I should fire (no pun intended!) her up again one of these days. :smokin:

Pfeh....I'd drive it anyway.....fuggit.....

I kinda wanna get a Z31 turbo.... they are fun cars!

I'M TRYING TO GET ONE.......STILL.......dude selling the one I was going to buy BAILED ON ME.....hence my sig.

How much money do you have? I think I can help you find one. Just a thought.

-Wes

I've looked all over the damn place. I'm looking for an 86-89T, 5 speed, any color, (almost) any RUNNING condition for ~$1,000. I don't care what it looks like too much as long as it runs well. I don't mind fixing a few cosmetic things like putting new seats in cuz the old ones are ripped or cleaning shit or bad paint or whatever...I just need it to run as close to perfectly as possible. I don't wanna spend tons of money getting the fucker running, THEN spend tons of money doing the mods I want to do. If you know of one, lemme know. I'll even travel some. I just doubt you know of anywhere to look that I don't...

Where do you live? I know some local connections if you get what i'm saying.

How do you think I got my 240sx for $25?

(other than the fact that it was a peice of shit. Haha)

HA......Northern Kentucky........and I'm not interrested in a car that's so hot that it'll burn your retinas if you look at it too long, if you know what I mean........

Deffinately not what I was infering...

JUNK YARD AUCTIONS man... Not stolen.

I saw a Supra JZA80 that was worth $15,000 roll out of one of those for $5,000... No shit.

I'll keep my eyes pealed for you, if you'd like.

-Wes

North Carolina.

It says HaddonField, IL on my Screen name info for one reason...

Research the Holloween Series Movies. And you'll see why. They're my favorite movies.

-Wes

Ha....north carolina.......I was supposed to be coming over there (to Moncure...???...ring a bell?) to buy a 300 on monday.

I live on the beach. God I love it here, there's my town.. Then mostly all around it, it's just one shit hole after another.

Wilmington's a pretty damn rich city. We got lucky when we moved here 13 years ago before it was.

... You should come visit some day, really fun place.

-Wes

I just might have to when/if I EVER get another Z. Come cruise around NC....I've never been there.

Sweet. See ya sometime maybe?

-Wes

Damn right...sooner or later.

Haha. Aight man, we'll see.
