[WYTSKY]

want to know a little bit more info about it?

heres the first website that comes up when you put car flame thrower kit into google: http://www.zorst.com/faq.html

and it says:

"How do the Flamethrowers work?

The flame thrower kit safely lights up fuel coming out of the exhaust pipe at the tip, using our proprietary flamethrower control module the kit works in with your vehicle to get the right mix for a flame when you want it, the flamethrowers can be turned on and off by a switch that you can fit in a convenient place. When not in use the flamethrower kit will have absolutely no effect over the regular performance of your vehicle."

but then.. if you google how do these things work, on this site: http://hackaday.com/2006/03/03/exhaust-flame-throwers/

it says:

"...Here’s a hack that’s been around since the very start of the hot rod movement. Car exhaust flame throwers work by interrupting the spark to the engine. This dumps raw fuel into the exhaust system. The fuel is ignited by a coil and spark plug placed right before the exhaust tip. Doing this will shorten the life of your engine (and pedestrians). The raw fuel strips the oil off the cylinder walls and contaminates the oil causing more wear and tear. Also, this mod can’t be used on a fuel injected car. It would foul the O2 sensors and catalytic converter. Never the less, our fascination with electricity will live on."

so need to know alot more info about the kit because a manufacturer says its fine for your car (their kit atleast) while 3rd parties are saying it can't work with fuel injected cars and is bad for the motor... so more info on the kit please!

Hey Adam,

Sorry i can't help you much on that one as i've never really get a chance to install it in my car but as i remembered from the company i bought from he pretty much said it works on any car and i think you can control the level of flames as well.

Thanks anyway mate, done a few quick searches and this is what has come up:

http://custompinoyrides.com/2010/01/how-to...me-thrower-kit/

"Generally speaking, there is an exhaust flame thrower kit for any gasoline-engined vehicle with a distributor or coil. However, it used to be impossible to get this to work with a fuel injected vehicle.

If you’re mechanically and electrically inclined, then you can purchase the parts and do the installation yourself. Here’s how to DIY a Carb Engine Exhaust Flamethrower System.

But if you run a fuel injected engine, it’s a bit more complicated to DIY the installation, as you will be unable to force the engine to dump excess unburnt fuel onto the exhaust pipes.

But don’t fret, as there’s an Exhaust Flamethrower Kit you can purchase which has all the required gear, including a control module which will produces the unburnt fuel by momentarily interrupting the engine’s ignition system.

Just note that doing this will accelerate engine wear as you’re pumping excessive raw fuel through the engine which washes down the cylinder walls and also contaminates your oil. It will also eventually destroy your catalytic converter. Make sure you do an oil change more often."

And this too:

"Q: Will I have to remove my

cat converter or do any modifications

to my engine?

A: In most cases you will have to gut

or remove the cat and replace with

straight pipes to produce a flame with

our kit. Check with your local laws and

regulations."

So while I think it would be cool, unfortunately its going to wear down the motor I have put a fair few $$$$'s into and means my 1 year old $300 cat has to be removed and if a cop ever saw u with 1 AND no cat so the flames will work... the fines will outweigh the cost of owning it like 10 or 20/1..... or more....

Just some info for fellow sau'ers to think about
