gaz.veedub 0 Posted March 9, 2011 Report Share Posted March 9, 2011 its your car mate but i wouldnt recommend it,also you will never get one that flames on gear changes it would have to be on a switch. Link to post Share on other sites
FishWick 21 Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Difficult to achieve on a normally aspirated motor and even with turbos, flames on gearshifts is only really achievable with anti-lag.To get flames on a standard VR you will need to get the manifold VERY VERY hot and modify the map to throw in more fuel on over-run and back the timing right off. And even then you might not always get a flame. You'll get plenty of pops and bangs though.Out of interest, why do you want to do this? Can you afford to waste so much fuel with the cost of it heading to £1.50 a litre as well? LOL! :-) Link to post Share on other sites

chief ka kar 0 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 My mates evo on 500bhp with the anti lagg switch on the ecu ran flames. So with a lot of money and set up you can have flames. But to buy a kit i would pass mate. That vid is class tho and that car is what a little fiat pmsl Link to post Share on other sites

Daverse 175 Posted March 13, 2011 Report Share Posted March 13, 2011 i wouldnt looks stupid to me, but if you wanted a cheaper version of it, drill an put a spark plug in tip of exhaust, and run a coilpack in the boot, on the overrun it should give you a nice lick of flames...
