with flames shooting out the pipes? i think its pretty cool and would impress a crowd at a car show

 

I personally know him, but i haven't seen him around lately, im not sure how he did it... but it does look kinda cool in person LOL

 

cut off spark to a few cylinders and fire spark plugs in the tailpipe. instant flames.

 

Hey whats up .. Thats my car .. chris told me about how you guys were wondering how I got it to ignite .. Its tricky and not really recommended on a fuel injected car .. but what happens is I cut spark to the entire engine and re-route the spark from the distributor to 2 spark plugs through 2 coils out the back .. and the raw unused fuel ignites ..

.. DO NOT .. screw around with this if you dont know what you're doing .. and its a great way to blow up your muffler .. your cat .... I also change my oil every 2000miles because of the raw fuel overspill .......

hope you enjoyed it ..

I saw a kit that basically is a ignitor rod at the tailpipes that does the same thing. It recommends it not being used with cat. It was not that expensive and can be left on.

 

I've done a flamethrower setup as well. I say take back from the ricers what they took from yesteryear's hot rods. There are many ways to do them, however mine was very simple, doesn't interrupt engine spark, and doesn't inject fuel into the tailpipes.

I used my stock downturn tailpipes, and simply welded a bung in each one about 6 inches from the opening, inserted two old plugs, and ran wires to two coils housed in the rear passenger fender. The coils are fired using a control box. You can find those online or, if you're electronically inclined, roll your own. I used TIP-120 darlington transistors hooked up to a PIC microcontroller that simply switches the coils on and off about 80 times per second. You can do the same thing with a 555 timer (I just didn't have any). Simpler yet, you can wire a relay to act as an oscillator and drive the coils with that. Google is your friend if you go that route; there's some schematics available out there somewhere.

One you have that finished, run a fused link up to your battery with a switch somewhere in between. Flip the switch and check to make sure your plugs are firing. Rev the engine a bit and enjoy the show.

It works well on my TPI engine. When you let off the gas from a rev, the ECM apparently doesn't cut back on the injector pulsewidth quick enough, and you get a little extra fuel in the exhaust. Of course, you can't do it with a cat inline.

You're not going to get HUGE flames with a setup like this, but it's quick and easy, with only a small number of modifications you need to do to the car itself.





Just don't blow yourself up and you should be good to go
If anyone wants more info/pics/videos, let me know.
