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?

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.

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.

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???

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? :(

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.....

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.

    • Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum. 
    • Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product  
    • They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
