Does this "afterburner" work with the Yaris?
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" |

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

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

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.

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?

What about setting temporary the rev limiter at 3000rpm?

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)
