1. Getting a hp of almost 500 from an rx with stock turbos is very hard to do. The turbos are small and a lot of work is necessary to get over 400 with them. Remember, you can just put a cam in a rotary for more hp...Getting up to 400 is pretty easy...over 400 hard.

2. Getting big hp numbers from the Supra is fairly easy. I would love to say it isn't but it is. If someone wanted a low buck hot rod, the supra would be the way to go.

3. In the movies, you can do anything. Turning off a supercharger, chirping tires in the dirt, jumping over things, etc.

However, if you want to shoot flames out the exhaust, here is what you do (only with carb engines, won't work with fuel injection). While travelling at about 65 to 70 mph, turn the car off, leaving the car in gear (don't lock the steering!!!), count to about 5 and turn the ignition into the on position. The unburnt fuel sitting in exhaust system with ignite. If you have a vehicle with cats in it, they will burn out after a little while and you will have a flame thrower!

You are so full of BS. You can shoot flames out of a fuel injected RX-7... All I have to do is take the supertrap disks off my Turbo II.

I just wanted to add that u can throw flames with fuel injection, i have a 1987 TurboII with the full Racing Beat exhaust and the F.C.D.
My car is otherwise stock except it's been retuned. Whenever i rev high and shift i throw some mad blue flames and get a loud pop.
it doesnt bother me only cuz im waiting for the motor to go out so i can rebuild.
Carbs aren't the only ones that can throw flames.

My RX3 with 13B turbo blew flames all the time, especially when I caned it and then slowed down Ie coming off the freeway. Had a few stupid ppl trying to tell me my car was on fire! hehe

And please dont start this 500HP at the wheels with stock turbos debate again - it is impossible!! A GT3540 on a ported 13B makes around 500RWHP@22PSI on a dyno dynamics and u r saying u can get that with stock turbos?!?! Why get a aftermarket turbo then? T-78 gives around the same power level but the GT3540 spools up quicker and is a better turbo IMO for the street. A GT3540 is already pushing around 15PSI at 3500RPM!!!
My friends Fd with just an exhaust has 215RWHP on a dyno dynamics, there is no way u can more than double that on the stock turbos!

I will scream if I here this again.

I'm not arguing with you there. The stock turbo's and exhaust mani can't handle the heat. I've seen writeups on this time and time again in SCC and Import Tuner.

um yeah, i think that guy was just screwing with us...

Sorry guys, that was a typo, of course rotarys don't have cams.

As far as the flames go, I have only done with carb engines. My understanding was that once the ignition is turned off, the injectors stop pulsing and therefore there is no fuel in the exhaust whereas with a carb, the fuel is still sucked in.

If anyone questions my car, it was built at KD rotary and is currently at Alamo getting a big single put on...

Anyone else have a 20b here?

[phatdex]

basically all rotors with bigger injectors, new computers etc will shoot flames. Because rotors run alot more fuel than piston engines, alot of it comes out the exhaust, especially if u have ported it. As soon as the exhaust gets hot, then u get the flames.

i heard the only car in that movie that had real power was craig's supra(the star of the movie)
