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.

    • Or get a guy in his early fiftys to do it. A single good "oof" and about two cracks from his lower back is about the right tightness...
    • It's impossible to convey what it will feel like to get the right torque. But you can develop a feel for it. A 900mm breaker bar is.....f**king huge. I only use a normal ~400mm one. But with 900mm being very nearly a metre, and the right torque being in the order of 100Nm, then you're going to need a bit over 100N of force, which is about 10 kg. So if you practice using the bar pulling up, instead of pushing down, then it will be about the same effort as lifting a 10kg bucket of water. That's what the pressure against your fingers should feel like. Ish. If you use a more typical length breaker, then it's about twice that. So a good 20 litre bucket, or a little bit more.
    • Also, if anyone has a torque wrench around Williams Landing area and can lend it to me for like 5 mins - I got 4 bottles of Furphy left and I’ll throw that in with a Happy meal 😂
    • So today I decided to bleed my brake fluid, which meant to the wheels came off the car at my garage for the first time. I only had a 90cm breaker bar with me and I noticed that some 1 or 2 lug nuts were a bit hard to get loose (from when the shop did the coilovers) Now.... when it came to putting them back on, I didn't want to put all my weight and overtighten them. So I hand tightened as much as possible and then put normal pressure on the edge of the breaker bar and tightened it until I couldn't turn it anymore without putting in an effort. Do you think that is tight enough? Or is that still too tight?  They are tighter than finger tight. Last thing I want is to have them strip or warp sh*t. But hard times mean I can't just go down to Supercheap and get a torque wrench 🥺
    • Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.
