exhaust flame

[twinz]

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.......

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"
