Flames Out Of A Gts-t Exhaust

[Kujotk]

I was just wandering how does a r33 get flames out the exhaust?????

Is it just something that happens when a shit load of extra power is thrown to it? Is it a fuel additive?

[PM-R33]

Natural way: Car running rich and when the exhaust is hot the unburnt fuel ignites and causes a bit of a flame (usually from a car running no cat).

Non-natural: Run a flame thrower kit with a spark plug in the back of the exhaust which can be activated to cause the flame, what you mainly see in movies.

Car's running anti lag or BeeR revlimiter's also pop decent flames.

99/100 times it'll be overfuelling, without a car.

Most light modded RB's will do it as they all overfuel with a bit of boost on the stock ECU

Now why would you be asking this Kujo?

[Kujotk]

just want to learn about my car better,,,,, also so i can say "hey my r33's a flame thrower" lol

[GTScotT]

my car does it all the time

its overfueling while driving spirtitadle that does it

A mate driving behind me noticed that I had flames coming from my exhaust when booting it hard.

Took the car to Protek and Dom said it was just a tuning issue. After having the car tuned all was good again and haven't noticed the problem since.

its a problem? lol

Can't say it's a great thing to have but it gets rid of tailgaters at night

[WIHAGTR]

if the car runs rich... a de-cat or gutting ur cat

[Kujotk]

would it do it at all with a high flow cat???? also i will degut it but later on in time, i just put the thing in lol.....

now i'm thinking how to degut the cat???? Its a 3 inch xforce from just jap, i think its still ceramic with flow near 600 ish???? is it easy to smash with a chissel or would i need something else???

[DRD-00F]

Just for the record, doing that is illegal and can hold a huge fine if you're found to be driving without a cat converter.

Are you trying to stop the flames happening, or are you trying to get flames out of your exhaust?

[UWISSH!]

my gtr shoots meter long flames out of it lol

almost dead straight 3.5" exhaust with no cat

[R31Nismoid]

you cant shoot flames with a cat

[TiTAN]

The best you can do with a cat in place is blow large black clouds

[FATGTS-R]

I have a magic cat installed and I have managed to get a flame or two happening in the past. But with a generic item it would not be possible.

When I got my new zorst my tuner was adamant that it had to have a legit high flow cat due to his exposure if the EPA caught up with me. So, I'll presume based on his reputation and his self confessed, self preserving ways, that is what I got. The other half of this story is my car blows big flames. I've caught them in my side mirrors in full day light and at a recent track day I was told it was blowing flames 'big time'. The back of the car needed a cut after the track day which I'll put down to flames or a toxic over rich mixture, or both......

It runs super rich when you give it the full pedal, so I guess plenty to burn with a hot pipe.

That's my experience.....

miss-firing system

[RPR33]

dude the flames look cool but a friend of mine who WAS running a "custom cat" and flames started getting burn marks on his rear bumper.... and it had such a good paint job LOL.

you cant shoot flames with a cat

Wait for me to get my car back on the road, and I'll prove you wrong on that.

I used to shoot 1 foot long bright blue flames out the back of mine sitting at the tree waiting to launch. WITHOUT Anti Lag.
