Here is the link http://www.jegs.com/i/Hot+Rod+Speed+...3505K/10002/-1

On the website says "Afterburner Flame Thrower kits will work on any carbureted, non-emission controlled vehicle"

staypuft · 02-13-2009, 06:05 AM

our engines are fuel injected, so answer is no

Parmas · 02-13-2009, 06:36 AM

Can it be possible to make something similar for fuel injection cars?

Tamago · 02-13-2009, 06:46 AM

yes. you'll have to install a propane or butane bottle in the car

Parmas · 02-13-2009, 07:37 AM

What about if you run rich and using the kit, will it produce the flame?

Here are some vids since we are in discussion..

if you still have your cat installed, good chance it won't work

elmo · 02-13-2009, 09:42 AM

maybe i'm just getting old but why would anyone want something like that ?

I intend to use it with a straight pipe exhaust without cat. The ecu is a gotech mfi standalone fully tunable.

The intension of use is only for pure car show meetings obviously not street use!

you could use just one coil and a sparkplug and do it pretty easily..

Don't laugh, benggolf, decades ago a buddy of mine torched a following vehicle... Night time, a guy pulls up behind him with high beams on. He reaches down and hits the switch, and only then did he see the flashing lights of the cop car in amongst the flames...

1.) small bottle of nitrous oxide
2.) purge kit
3.) RC car glow plug

I have seen a setup using these three things set up just left of the exhaust. The guy, a wiring god, wired it somehow to burn after a high rev. Spent less than 100 bucks.

gonna have to call BS on that one..

non flammable gas.. you'd STILL need fuel added to it for it to "burn"

Nice to know it is an effective flame thrower!

Give a good reason to consider this mod.

No kidding.

Anyone up to group buy or designing a "flame-thrower" kit for radical YW forum members?

Parmas · 02-13-2009, 06:14 PM

What about setting temporary the rev limiter at 3000rpm?

cali yaris · 02-13-2009, 06:26 PM

Chris Rado's widebody tC that was used in "Spy Hunter" threw 40-foot flames with whatever kit they installed on that. Had to take it off after the filming was complete, definitely not street legal!

(but I'd probably do it)
