I have been on the receiving end of a Bee*R limiter in the workshop.. 26 in a gts4, was standing on the back left of the car talking to someone when I heard the engine start to rev.. glanced at the exhaust pipe then BANG BANG BANG it hit the Bee*R limiter.. my left ear was ringing for several hours after :)

haha sorry bubba should have warned u b4 we did it

hmmm i got a r32 gtst stock turbo was gonna buy the bee*r rev limiter lucky i read this thread... so whats the best way to get the backfire/flames? would it be for me to get a PFC and then get it tuned to do it? is it hard to revert it back to normal?

i got a few noobs questions lol,

my car frequently pops between gear changes and when decelerating, i got a atmo bov too, does that mean flames coming out every time it pops? ;) coz as u can guess i cant see my exhaust while im driving lol

and popping a lot doesnt mean misfire right...??

I was told it isn't flames or missfire its just excess fuel being dumped in the exhaust and hence the pops. correct me if i'm wrong though.

i used to get heaps of pops on decel with the bov open about 30% but as soon as i got a pfc in it and tuned it stopped straight away or if i turned it to fully plumback.

Apparently I get flames when it's more of a dull "whop" rather than the big "bangs", hence my theory is thus:

A BANG is the unburnt fuel igniting at the front of the exhaust and the flame/whop is the unburnt fuel making its' way to the muffler before it ignites.

the flaim throwing kits that work with a switch and cupple of sparks in the exohst throw nice flaims for a long time without too much noise WOOOSH sound n they usualy throw flaims out far too.. iv installed one on a friends WRX and it looked mad how ever it did kill his starter motor with time..

Bee R will reduce the life of your turbo so its not realy worth that lil bangs that it gives out. or use a computer that has anti lag.

imho if you got no cat usualy ull get a lil bang anyways when u back off, no need for pushing it n runing nice parts n paint..

i get popping sound too from my exhaust ... its just a simple lousy twin pipe .. plus im driving a non turbo skyline .. could it be the fuel pump or something which is not working properly .. i really dont expect a very stock non turbo skyline to make popping sounds ..

Flames and popping sounds and extremely powerful cars don't always go hand in hand. If your NA is running a bit rich, you will have excess fuel in the exhaust. Excess fuel + hot exhaust = potential for flamage :D

Usually the cat will catch most of the unburnt fuel, but if there is no cat, no reason why you won't get flames for the reasons above. Also, popping sound is normally infront of the cat, ie no flames. Flames are usually more of a whooshing sound :thumbsup:

yeah mine pops massive flames over 4000-4500rpm changes... the slower i change gear the bigger the flame lol... i think the car is just running rich cause i have a 3" cat ive got some nice vidz of it, post up when i can.

i knew mine blue flames when changing gear but i went on the performance car cruse on Friday night and some of the guys (Ivan and friends) said it was blowing a 2 Foot flame continuously when i opened it up.

3.5"exhaust

11Psi

120mm THICK! drag front mount

spitfire coilpacks

iridum plugs

= big ass flames when hammering and very hot rear bumper!

might have something to do with the 10-1 a/f ratio. lol

cheers!

hey all how can u get ur car to throw flames from the exhaust? yesterday mournin i was drivin up the freeway and a white r33 with number plates strich9 went past and when changed gear threw out a decent flame from the exhuast, how can u get your car to do it or is it something that just happens with the unburnt fuel when u back off?

Flame thrower kit!

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
