Posted July 29, 200420 yr I recently bought a flamer kit off ebay for £60. the geezer told me that it works on cars without turbos as long as theyre decatted. i got it fitted from an exhaust place, the sparks work but when i floor it, i get no flames :-( i got a full stainless system, induction etc and the dude at MIJ performance even said that they do work on na cars--they had one ona bimma and they fit em to hondas all the time with 3 ft flames. any ideas? any1 with a workin flamer kit here?
July 29, 200420 yr they'll only work when there's unburnt fuel in your exhaust, and the reason they work so well on turbo cars is that they're plenty present. unless your car's only fuelling, or u fit a kit with a butane tank to "boost" the levels of unburnt fuel, then it wont work
July 29, 200420 yr Author yes m8 it does backfire, it makes a mad popping noise aswell. looks like its going back on the sunny!
July 31, 200420 yr fuel injection is designed to give you optimum fuel econemy ie exactly the right amount of fuel to do the job even on de catted cars there is very little or no un burnt fuel in the exhaust system so the chances of getting a flamer to work is almost non existant my mate had a decatted RS 1800 with a flamer kit on it and even if he caned it it would very rarely flame.i no cossys and rsts are fuel injected but as they run turbo's there ecu is designed to slightly over fuel on shut down to stop detonation as well as melting pistons so unless your car has a carbureter a tubo or both then save ya money.hope this helps and that is the end of todays science lesson
July 31, 200420 yr yeh mine works, but as said mines a rst and its only got the back box on the car. i don think youll get it to work on a na escort im afraid
August 4, 200420 yr What about fiddling with the PCV filter/chamber?Its purpose is, according to haynes, to "Remove unburned hydrocarbons" la dee the etc. I have a wee ram air jobbie on the tube atm. Anyone know? My centre exit zorst needs the flamer kit to look the dogs balls so i was hopin it wud work.JOnny
August 4, 200420 yr bet i cud get one to work on mine since its misfiring atm plenty of unburnt fuel in there...unfortunately lol
August 5, 200420 yr yeh mine works, but as said mines a rst and its only got the back box on the car. i don think youll get it to work on a na escort im afraid how about an overfuelling mk6 with just a backbox?

I do know its popping has got louder and deeper like theres a tanksworth exploding in the zorst
