View Full Version : Why do rally cars pop fire from their zorst?

As above. I just can't under stand why I'm assuming they're decatted? Have looked at google with no answer

Unburnt fuel from the over run igniting in the hot confines of the exhaust.
xxo0pko0xx
31st January 2010, 21:12
How is unburnt fuel escaping into the system tho? Via over sized injectors?

31st January 2010, 21:15
Over fueling.
And its not just rallye cars that do it!
My s16 does it alot on down shifts

31st January 2010, 21:21
yeh its more to do with the anti-lag system there running. The anti lag system allows the turbo to constantly remain spooled up. but when you lift of the throttle this drags unburnt fuel through to exhaust system, hence the pops and bangs and spits of flame.

loads of cars can do it, as said its just unburnt fuel being burned by the hot exhuast

K I'm assuming thatit must be decatted in order to do this??

it helps yes,but iirc rally cars still have to have a catalyser group N rally does anyway

Yeah your right.... All rally cars must have an MOT so a cat is a must have.

someone wants there car to sound like a rally car to try & impress or look cool? lol
all cars go pop and can achive that sound
in something like a saxo only time it would sound cool is if its in third at high revs so it sounds raspy at the sametime. if not then the car will just sound like its broken and needs to be repaired lmao. i.e misfiring sound almost!

They do have cats in as of September 09 i think unless there historic (MK1 / MK2 escort, Chevette HSR etc)
Lairy cams - High octane fuel - Antilag - huge turbo's - competition exhausts etc

On the cheap i would say:
Supersprint 2" race system (non silenced), Supersprint 4-2-1, and a decat.
And if you really wanted to, get a adjustable fuel pressure regulator and turn the fueling up a little (Although this will cause it to not run as good / run badly and i realy wouldn't reccomend it)

I would'nt either lol.
nothing like over fuel and shite MPG and failing MOT's
then from there its oil pressure different along with oil been burnt quicker.

Theres a report button you know............
The normally aspirated rally cars have long duration camshafts which give valve overlap. The camshaft is optimised at high rpm to produce power but the overlap is not so useful at low speeds. Basically both sets of valves will momentarily be open at the same time with the exhaust scavenging effect pulling some air/fuel from the intake. This unburnt fuel will ignite in the exhaust rather than being combusted in the normal way.
A well designed exhaust system will help this scavenging effect which is why often fitting a decent aftermarket exhaust can give more flames.
There are loads of other reasons which all can affect the fuel burning but it could just make this a little complicated unnecessarily

There are timed areas to work on, depending on different rallys. Often its a 20min timed section where the team can work on the car. Theres timed road sections aswell, you need to sign into the stage at a set time, in different rallys if there is a fault with the car only the driver/co driver can work on the car you cant recieve external help.
So what you are saying is you made up the point about them swapping/changing parts in your head ;)

he does have a point
or come live in lincolshire. police here cant tell a modded car from mile off. my mate who brought the corsa were doing up. he knew the old owner for long time. a corsa b that looked standard apart from some 15" alloys and a exhaust system (he only declared a backbox on insurance) then under the bonnet is a 2.0 16v calibra engine thats ha a mani and fully cammed. yet he was pulled over plenty of times with not one found out about his engine :y:

no i did not say that.
i dont see the point in wrc cars having cats on when there flinging a whole load of hydrocarbons down the exhaust when its common knowledge cats dont like neet fuel!!!!!
plus i dont think spitting out a whole load of flames out the back on the main road from stage to stage is exactly road legal is it?
but you do agree wrc cars have to be road legal dont you?;)
therefore what your saying is they put a cat on to keep emissions down,to be road legal,run that cat for a few days across different stages whilst throwing fuel down the zorst hence damaging the cat and that the wrc cars are aloud to produce flames going down the main road?
whilst still being all legal?

And depending on the rally they do have certain types of legality, hence why different drivers have been thrown out of rallys after police have caught them on road sections driving with 1 wheel missing etc...
They do still spit flames etc... between stages, ive followed several rally cars inbetween stages at the sunseeker, they dont do it as much because they are often coasting along at slow speed to avoid getting caught speeding by the police which are often about.

;) you accused me of saying 'So what you are saying is you made up the point about them swapping/changing parts in your head' which you havent proved.
iam sure they do change many parts before a stage wether assisted or repairs done by just co-driver and driver.
iv just searched for some info on wether wrc cars run cats on the stage...cant seem to dig up much though.
wasted opinions...they probs do run cats on the stage,they have so much money available cats are nothing to them.
Ryan
1st February 2010, 19:40
now its repairs before a stage and not non legal parts ;)
Ive allready explained to you about why its not poissible, the fact that not every stage has an allocated timed section to work on the car, and that on road sections they are not meant to have assisted help, and that the road sections are also timed.
Do you think they carry a nice big roller tool box and parts in the boot? :D

WRC cars have like 3 different engine maps. Stage, road etc. They all run cat converters as per regs. All restricted turbochargers, the way they sound is due to cam setup and anti-lag. Loads of different variations of anti-lag in WRC. They are capped at 300bhp but have about 750nm of torque due to the way they are setup, take the restrictor off and they will be mega powered.
P.s. No one can touch the car outside of service or Parc Ferme bar driver/navigator.

As sam sais its the anti-lag system which keeps the turbo spooled, advances the timing and dumps all of the unburnt fuel into the turbine housing which then explodes because of the heat of the turbo, israntly spinning the turbo upto 150k rpm giving you stupid boost, then chucking flames out the back, have a look at the old celica gt4s the 3sgte engines had a 5th injector just for the anti lag system.

for higher spec? ive learnt most of mine from here as well :)
will agree with a vts engine. prehasps ph4, remap, flywheel and bodies?
if insurance is a killer dont tell them? lol they wont find out unless you deside to put it upside down and claim :)
you'd better have very deep pockets ;)
can buy a 182 trophy for the cost of a well built engine of that calibre

Not seen many trophys for 4-5k tbh.
If the persons building it themselves its not a massive cost, espec if they are only running stock rocks. Its still on hydros.

Will agree build it yourself you can replace standard parts ad well. Deep pockets would be required but you'd have something that'll stand up to a scooby if you throw some performace pistons and a stripped interior In with the list :y:

if driven properly a scooby would still be quicker than a saxo ;)
unless you compare something as highly modded as ryans saxo to a standardish scooby than it'd be pretty hard to be quicker than a scooby.
