Tailpipe Flamethrower!!!!
 
This might be interesting....

Has anyone ever seen this in real life on a fuel injected engine? I assume you need to do it without the cat converter, and some sort of pulsateing spark pluggs in the exhaust pipe. Possibly a fuel injector in the pipe, if your car doesnt produce much extra fuel.... Apaarently 3-6 foot flames are possible without the use of injectors!

That would be the ultimate show thing, flames out the tail, nitrous purge out the front, Damn that would be intimidateing to see, I sure as hell wouldnt race the guy:evil: ...LOL:hide:

yea can't do it with a cat....and if u do this to ur engine its not good..cause u are esencially sending raw fuel through ur engine....better to have a reserve tank with spark plug at end of pipe....old school cars do it by by passing combustion and sending raw fuel through engine

ya, the old cars can just pull the choke, to inrichen the mixture, but is hard on engine

I think they have kits for this/.

cool tnx, this thing would be the ultimate tailgater deterrent...lol

Ruff_Rever 04-Aug-2003 10:01 PM

It's not possible...my friend tried it. You need a special setup and not just a home made setup

imported_BoOsTd 04-Aug-2003 10:05 PM

im sure its possible with one of these...20' flames!!!lol http://www.autoloc.com/detail.lasso?itemid=flame

PULOVR 04-Aug-2003 10:06 PM

Nope........what actualy happens is that on the 3 cars that are in my other car club, they do this.....


They have a second coil with a spark plug in the tip of the muffler. Not sure how far in or out of the tail pipe it has to be.


They have a switch that they hit after they rev the engine and let of the gas pedal.

They hit the switch, and the factory coil is temporaraly replaced by the one that is connected to the spark plug in the tail pipe. The unspent gas runs through the engine, and comes out the back, then the plug ignites it. Then they releases the switch, and the factory coil is reingaged.

It's takes some practice/timming to get a good flame/fireball out the back.

I'll see if I can bring my camera next friday, and I'll film it for you guys.


By the way, I've taken apart that "magic" box, and the thing has like 5-6 parts in it, that only cost around $5-$10 to buy.

It's the coil/plug/plug wire that cost's the $$'s, not the box. :)

imported_BoOsTd 04-Aug-2003 10:09 PM

Sick!!! Ill practice all night LOL....get some pics of that ****!!! Ive seen it one race cars before where its constantly ignighted

another way to do it would be to use a propane tank. Hook up the tank to the tailpipe......hold the revs high, hit the switch to inject the propane into the tailpipe.....the coil also tuns on at th same time, and presto....the spark plug ignites the propane, and it looks like this.....

PULOVR 04-Aug-2003 10:34 PM

Just make sure you don't let up on the gas pedal, or else you'll get a backfire.

:p

Been there......seen it......heard it.....:p


With this kind of setup, you can get much longer flames, and more time per flame. (I've seen a guy hold it for around 10 seconds.....the guy was nuts.......he left a nice discolouration on the paint of his back bumper.) :haha:

With the other setup, you'll be lucky to get 1-2 seconds......if that.

This is too much of a Fast and Faggiest idea for me.

white92d15b7 05-Aug-2003 09:46 AM

flames ha ha ha

imported_zc_hatch 05-Aug-2003 09:40 PM

i like it lol
i dun usually like rice, ubtr its cool
use a shift knob with the momentary button on top for solonid on the propane and have it inject propane and spark at the same time, i will try this by welding bungs for a spark plug and propane in the last 3' of tailpipe

Ruff_Rever 05-Aug-2003 09:49 PM

I think its pretty cool, nobody has it right now, but soon everyone will

imported_zc_hatch 05-Aug-2003 11:13 PM

yeah... i thikn i will experament with it, make it on an pipe, then make that pipe into my exhaust

PULOVR 06-Aug-2003 12:08 AM

What have I done. :p



I can see the headlines now.




A driver today burned down his house after he autostarted his car while it was in the garage. The driver had forgotten that a saftey switch had been turned off on his homemade flamethower. When reporters asked why he would forget such a thing, his only answer was..."Huh.....I thought it was cool dude."


Play with fire, you're liable to get burned.

its easy to make
my dad was doing stupid **** like that when he was my age

just drill a hole big enough for a spark plug
put the spark plug in it
hook up some sort of MSD iginition to a switch and your distributor. and WOW FAKE NOS

they even show you how to do it on Speed Channel

looked really easy

the flame comes cause you car doesn't burn all the gas that goes threw the motor. so even by using that spark plug at the end you car burnin the rest of the unused gas :)

neilff 06-Aug-2003 10:59 AM

my friend with his '87 carb'd crx was able to shoot two flames

i know he doesnt have a plug in his exhaust or anything.. no tricks basicly

he is running no cat or resonator, and the thing backfires lots.. its kinda funny, but ****, if you ever heard the sound they make, its pretty scary. louder than a cherry bomb. and they are just little pops about 1 ft in length that last less than a second
