is there any ghetto way to do it? i mean i get the idea with the spark plugs and coils in the tail pipes, that is easy, but how would you go about cutting the ignition momentarly? thanks

There was an episode of Trucks that showed how to do it.

my dad was telling me that they used to put a coil in back by the exhaust and then put spark plugs in the tail pipes. Then the coil was hooked up to a hot power wire and the ground was hooked up to a switch.

Then when you were driving you would kill the car and give it some gas while cruising and just bump the switch a couple times. he then went on too say there was a couple times where people had melted their exhuast doing this...

But to do this with EFI you would have to add an outside source like an LP tank in the trunk with a sylnoid. I guess thats how they are doing it on these custom cars now a days from what i hear...

You add a second coil and fire it through a switch on a relay. You run a healthy wire (remember the high voltage from a coil!) back to the plugs that are mounted in the tailpipes. When you hit the switch, it sends a constant 'spark' back to the plugs and BOOM f~l~a~m~e~s! Make sure you watch out for the rear vailence, pets, buildings and people who may be behind the car. I have never done this before and wouldn't recommend it - but you asked!!

Hell, the fuel tank is right there... just run an extra line to each pipe, along with an electronically controlled valve... and the coil & spark plugs of course. Then stand back!












J/K... I think this method would probably make you a Darwin Award candidate...

Buy youself a 10 second, NOS injected civic or eclipse.

On a serious note, I've heard some RX-7 twin turbos are known to put out flames near full boost and WOT.

It should be easy to do as long as you know what you're doing. Even with EFI its not complicated. Many companys sell kits. They don't give you too many details before you buy it but they will sell you just the instructions. Someone here has got to know an easy, and SAFE way to do it.

Why in Gods name would you want flames shooting out of your tailpipes? I don't know if you've ever gotten underneath your car and looked right above your tailpipes, but the gas tank is right there. I wouldn't purposely put a sparking device right below the gas tank. That's like smoking a cigarette, while leaning over a car to tune the carburetor.

Plus, the exhaust flames were in the movie "Too Fast, Too Frivolous." Why would anyone want anything out of that movie? Besides the "roots blown" Charger .

So, except for the Charger (which I whole heartedly agree with), you wouldn't want the all girl team to be your pit crew? something must be wrong w/me!

here is how i figure: i got the spark plug, and coil idea. I know how to do that. What i am basically trying to figure out is how to cut the spark to the engine, while the injectors still pump fuel. That is basically how those kits do it, you rev it up, the hit the button, whice dumps the spark, and the unburnt gas gets burned by the tailpipes! Is there a wire on the coil that i could inturrupt to kill the spark? i def know how to wire stuff up, so that is not a prblem, with relay's etc.

Run a little extra fuel pressure. There's gotta be enough fuel vapor in the pipes to ignite if a good spark was introduced. You don't have cats, and you are running a healthy cat-back ... so there's nothing stopping the fuel vapor if you're running a little rich. Smell the exhaust ... if you smell gas, it'll ignite!

Too bad ya can't just change the jets and make it run richer!!

Just find some dude with a PHAT CRX or something, he'll show you how to set it up and probably cheap too!

You could always go on eBay too. They have them "tight jawns" on there.

bleh, for some reason I dislike flame exhaust and spinners call me crazy, but looks rather ghetto

In my opinion flames is an old hot rod trick and fast and the furious just stole the idea. I like it and have never seen it in person. I don't think it's ricey at all.

wouldn't you just reroute the power coming out of the coil to spark plugs in the exhaust with a switch or something?
