Yeah my buddy's sr20 s13 will shoot a flame. Best my car does is have lil expoltions in the cat. Kinda have to have a turbo to do it naturally

Oh and a Celica...nothin wrong with that!"
Yeah, they are.
But there's another way to shoot flames out the back (its a bad thing) I forget what it is.. but it happens on some real high end cars while shifting
i shoot small flames only when i just start up and its cold. it runs so rich that it will backfire once or twice until its warm then its fine. yeah it only happens when letting off that gas fast or inbetween shifts.

Backfire: An explosion of prematurely ignited fuel or of unburned exhaust gases in an internal-combustion engine.
lol....my car doesn't shoot flames.. i wish it does... but my friend's Evo 8 does. he's got this so call Misfiring system or Anti Lag system and whenever he revs to like 4000rpm or something... his muffler starts going " bang bang " sweet stuf.

most i ever get are loud back fires and black puffs of smoke when shifting gears. but this is back when i was running a staright pipe and rich on fuel.
SR20's are known for it, my friend told me about it.
i coulda swore i was 3Ss do it before too though.

My friend's turbo 2.5RS shot flames out sometimes when he'd shift at high RPMs, and always shot out clouds of blake smoke between shifts. Now the car is sitting in a garage with bent rods though.
New Toyota project coming soon...

Mine has. My club went to carlisle right after I got my swap done a couple years ago. I was scared the car wasn't gonna make it there, we barely tested it. Halfway there, we went through some tunnels in the mountains. I said Ah what the hell,,,and down shifted into third and punched it. It was dusk, and I guess I shot out a huge flame. Everyone behind me shat. They were yellin at me on the radio.
Most of the time after that was when the car wasn't running right.
yea, by buddy's sr20 240sx shoots flames all day long, its cause he runs rich.

today coming home i turned into my neighborhood and was having some fun with a set of turns when i hear a huge "BAM!!!" come from the back of my car... first reaction was "OHHH ****" and checked out the back and saw a huge cloud of white smoke, lift off the gas, put it in neutral, check the tach, shes still running, check the oil gauge, yupp still feeding oil, temps good, vac is the same, no CEL... get back on it, she seems fine, finally i go "oh damn lol that musta been a pretty huge backfire"
thats only like the 1st or 2nd time my car has backfired so it scared the hell outa me lol
Believer, you'll leave her, in leaving them allNo but I don't buy itLike anything you do, as anyone you areCause I'm...Ten Speed, of God's Blood & Burial
I get a pretty good backfire between shifts in the upper rpms... I'm not sure if it flames as I have never seen my car driving from behind....haha... but Its possible cause it's definately noticable.

QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback]i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this.
im sorry but i just find it funny that you guys want to shoot flames out your ass.

i'll defend him here...
he's prob meaning the 5S.
and very few have turbo'd it so i doubt he took them into consideration.
and as for the 3S...well...it's already been covered in here that is most likely can pop a flame here n there
I was thinking about this the other day... would it be wrong to intentionally tune a car to run a little on the rich side so that you shoot a flame every time you shift? I mean, with no cat to fry of course >

when i first read this title i was like, dang only after real bad mexican food.
flame thower kits are not very complicated, and safer then tuning you car to do it on its own. you just have to put a switch to interupt you spark plugs in the head, to onces in the pipe, and the gas will flow throw the motor and blow when it reached the spark plugs in the pipe. but say good buy to your cat if you have one.
I always thought that backfires were bad for your car??
