Default Exhaust Flame Thrower!!!

Just wondering if anybody here has made flames shoot out there exhausts by using injectors, with gas or kerosine??
If you have could you please tell us how you did it and if it works well?

Cheers

Sorry, no handouts.

We did however set up an old ute so that all the spark could be directed from the dizzy to a spark plug welded into the exhaust. Rev up the car, flick the switch and as the carby was stil pumping fuel through, all the unburnt fuel was coming out of exhaust, and with the spark in the pipe igniting it. Flick the switch and the engine bursts back into life.

For a kit with a pump and injector for constant flames. get a kit to make sure you'll be safe.

There is a guy over on the JC Forum that runs a VN, The memcal has been tunned very rich and he drives around in 2nd gear and has at times popped a flam out, But his car has been tunned to run 100 octane. And drinks more petrol then a fish.

Just floor your car in neutral and let it bounce off the limiter. Great way to munch your engine.

i had a look at the websites, but none of them actually tell you exactly how they work.
It would be interesting to see what you use to make one, and how easy it is.

Anyone else know of how to make them?
