Popping flames

[piranhamatt]

Alright guys, just trying to be siick blud brap


I've got a decat exhaust welded up to before the backbox. (pretty much a drain pipe). Then some sportex backbox

On the standard VTS manifold it produced a lot of popping on and a rare flame out of the end.

I have just bought a sportex 4-2-1 manifold, but haven't fitted them all together yet.

Without messing around with overfueling or ebay kits.., how else would I be able to produce occasional flames on driving when I am trying?


INb4 haters

If I said I liked it, would I need a full reason?

[Viper]

Get anti-lag. That'll do it for you.

I already have an answer.

[huricane]

petrol and a match :y:

[SnakeVTR]

You wont be able to see the flame's coming out of the tailpipe anyway, but the police will as i learnt :clapping:

true, almost makes me want to go back to standard or atleast put the cat back on :fcuk:

Probably the sound which would cause me to revert to standard eventually, really peaceful and weird putting it all back to normal.



Also would like a flame out of the exhaust picture for my facebook cover photo :homme:

I didnt know how to save the video from fb, i didnt post it :/

[LSOfreak]

well as you say a rare flame already comes out of it, i imagine your new manifold should see occasional flames. If not, you can try spending a grand or two modifying the engine so that its uber quick and spits flames regularly.

My car pops and bangs after every gear change when warm, im not sure if its flaming or not as i cant see, but i think it could be as it appears to be staining my bumper with a big burn mark above the exhaust :(
takes ages polishing it off every month

[mlawlan69]

only ever popped one flame that i know of and thats with a decat and full supersprint system, my bumper above my exhaust however is full of soot so it's probably doing it more than i realise.

was being chased by some young lad in a fiesta and as i went from 3-4th the bang made my shit myself haha, must have looked quite cool from behind though :S

[Prickle]

Lols i have a little soot above my exhaust on the bumper :hug:

*not saying yours doesnt but i highly doubt that will be because of that.

Mines just of when the cars cold and the black inside the tip just spits out onto the bumper.

your probably right to be honest, but in fairness, it was never an issue until i got my 4-2-1 on, and since then it pops and bangs so much more.

i guess unless i strapped a camera to the rear window or something equally daft, i wont ever know lol.

Mine pops and bangs with oe mani and cat with a catback 2" SS.

It does get annoying at times going down gears esp in a village BANG BANG pop pop pop pop BANG. I just cover my face. :homme: :zainy:

Sounds epic though.

yeah it really does haha, i have halved my MPG since getting my system because i just hold each gear more than necessary lol.

i would definately suggest a mani to you if you like a good bang :A:fcuk:

pro-tech 4-1 mani, piper decat, centre and backbox, flamed like mad, loved it.

not trying to be a dick just being a bit pedantic but why did you list an unlocked ecu in your spec? a unlocked ecu wont have any benefit over a locked one lol unless you mean you've got a vtr ecu on there?

i was going to get to this :P lol

[m11ler]

My 1.1 once spat a little flame up my mates leg. He was standing behind me while i was reversing into a parking space, i gave it a big rev to get him out the way lol, must have only been because it was really hot though, as i was having a play in the snow about 2 minutes earlier... :oops:

That was with full decat s/s centre and kam backbox

[gazza808]

My standard gti, with 4-2-1 manifold and pugsport, pops bangs and flames like mad.

[Ollierockk]

I have a mk1 VTS with standard mani, welded pipe for decat and a ashley racing 3" backbox. pops and bangs with the odd flame :)

[mcjacko1987]

mine seems like it wants to spit. not run it hot enough yet though as temp gauge is playing up and its just after a conversion so need temp gauge on before i run it long enough. but bangs like hell:

4-2-1, de-cat, silencer cut off and a cheapo back box (cant afford a full system yet but its on my to do list :) )

[MR_N]

I like fire

[Heftydanielson]

Mine only burbles and never pops, suppose it's running perfect and not over fueling. :P

[xxo0pko0xx]

boost it

[Skitts123]

I always thought it would flame if it was overfueling. Isn't that bad for your engine ?

[EthanVTS]

I have a straight through pipe on mine, all the way back from the OE manifold..... It's very loud, but not a single pop :(

Hitting the limiter doesn't count :homme:

I'm sad to say.. Mine now pops, BANGS and 'Flames'

Going down the high street and it goes BANG. All the shoppers look at you. I sink into my seat and feel like a cock.

A Jaguar was up my arse the other week while i was steadly doing 60Mph. A little tap of the accelerator at 2800Rpm and BANG then POP. The Jaguar soon backed off. It sort of confirmed to me that it now has a pathetic flame coming out of the back :homme:

Super Sprint 4-2-1 Mainfold, Super Sprint Centre Section, Kam Racing Back Box.


Trick is to dink the throttle at 2800/ 3000RPM. Gear 2 or 3 is best for this. Sounds awesome though.

[Prickle]

After todays jaunt. If you want LOUD, actual BANGS. Just take your back box off.

and feel like a cock. no thanks

seriously if you want "cool" flames you need boost running a rich mixture. your car will sound like a gunshot.through.heavy accelrating when you shift and spit enough fire out for bbq your chicken. thats cool flames. flamer kits are.for.wannabe.wankers in theyre 1.1s

I had my reasons...but yeah you do feel like a "cock"

[willis54]

I've got a 421,decat,racetube and backbox also a 4 bar fpr and it still wont pop n flame

Who says you need boost? a lairy cam with throttle bodies and mapping will give the desired effect too

[Gandi699]

Get a more aggressive cam in it

[willis54]

Were can u get launch control systems from

[xxo0pko0xx]

i prefer boost to throttle bodies

[Skitts123]

Heat wrap your manifold, Also make it over fuel it will soon pop and bang

[willis54]

Already done that over fuel shud happen with 4bar fpr

[xxo0pko0xx]

seems a bit extreme to just impress the locals .....

[beanhead]

Revving the tits off a car just to get a small flame:homme: awaits the next thread "why is my mpg so low" :wall:

[WOZZERVTS]

Is anyone selling a 421 for a x reg vts?

[RyanSaxo]

Is anyone selling a 421 for a x reg vts?

many shops are yes.

kamracing.co.uk are a reputable seller.

Only bother with the supersprint, piper or btb imo.

[-scott-]

You need to buy my saxsport! Uses to flame all the time and would bang when you change gear!

U selling it then mate?

[Gareth_R]

Vts + raceland mani + decat + stainless backbox + changing from 2nd to 3rd just before the limiter at full throttle used to pop a flame

My mrs at the time rang me after following me part the way to work telling me my car was on fire

[shell-vt]

Il be honest i have no idea why you want it to pop flames it doesnt make the car any better.

Is that your local sc3n3?
as above :y:
