Trig Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 A bit F&F but i want one big time. Would it work well on my NA?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 *shudder* Are you full decatted? If so it should work OK, results vary a great deal though so you can't be sure until it's on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supraguy Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 My car had a "Flame Kit" installed before I bought it. I was never able to get any flames though. Its wired exactly as stated earlier. Just the tip of a plug inserted into the exhaust thats connected to a coil in the boot, thats turned on by a switch at the drivers console. I will see if I can get some flames next week when the Supe is back with full PHR mid-pipe and downpipe with new Tubby. :flame Dev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MOT is in may so will be very shortly after that. Cheers for the quick reply dude. *double shudder* So you are going to drill a hole in a brand new exhaust too, brave man I invested in a few flamer kits a while ago to make a fast buck on eBay, bought them in at about £15 and they sold for £70 or so without coil, HT leads or switches - even I was paying over the odds at £15! I never actually fitted one to my own car (MR2 at the time) but saw a few others with them on and they were 'ok'. You can get some really clever kits from the US, ones with their own gas supplies for cool blue flames etc - be wary of the sites that tell you that a wire with a spark plug is enough though, you really do need the box of tricks to pulse the spark in order to get a decent result. I have a few interesting links on a PC at home, I'll try and dig them out for you and post details tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD3000GT Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Ive been looking in to this as well. Here is a much better suggestion and its not rice. Its a rev limiter that redirects fuel to make a flame on set limit. http://www.takakaira.co.jp/asp/template.asp?id=849&cat=2&prodID=STtPqQqlnMokrNm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trig Posted March 17, 2004 Author Share Posted March 17, 2004 This is what i was looking at a few days earlier! See my thread: Rev limiter. - down the technical page, all is explained there and this is why im also going for a flamer kit! PS the link is not working.

scooby_doo_do Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I'vw got a flamer kit on mine... Only works when your changing gear passed 2nd... Looks great.. At 90mph you can see the flame go over the top of the rear spoiler from the rear view mirror. http://www.handsontraining.co.uk/supra/6.jpg http://www.handsontraining.co.uk/supra/9.jpg http://www.handsontraining.co.uk/supra/7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 ok im getting one and this weekend now, i hope!!! Do u have both cats out first of all?? and Do you have just spark plug in exhaust or is there a bottle linked up as well?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I've got both cats out and its just the spark plug in the tip of the exhaust which isn't visable. I've been told the flames go about 15/20ft when i'm doing 70+ :-) Not sure how true that is, but i know they are quite big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Ok well i dont have both cats out, so mine not gonna be that big at moment, if any at all. But when i get new exhaust at end of april,i might as well buy De-cat pipes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 lol...Yep, u must get the decat pipe...That was my first mod on the car at the plump age of 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 19...damn there goes the youngest owner...lol im a NA as well so should get even bigger, well im hopeing...it gives bigger sound, it would make sense bigger flames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supraguy Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Just thought I would mention its illegal. Just so nobody has any suprises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam W Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Is it illegal if your car belches flames out as a result of your ECU tuning rather than pushing a button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 It would still be classed as illegal as your car would be a damger to the public (as the law sees it). Same reason you have to have head lights on the car even during the day, wiper when it's not rainging etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby_doo_do Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 I can't say i've been pulled for it, but then again i don't have the tendancy to flick the switch on going past police cars I think they'd prob do you for something though.. Yes mr officer - That 15ft flame was down to my ecu problem..... - Don't think they'd somehow have that one... Craig, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THOR Racing Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 Did anyone spot the post I made earlier about flamers? I've just made 10 sets for a company. Included the control box, spark plug, long lead, coil and cable for £50 all in. Yes you can make your own cheaper and I'll even sell a box of bits for you to solder together for £10 (you get the coil, lead and plugs etc) The £50 only just covers my time to colder it together.

toyotasuprauk Posted March 17, 2004 Share Posted March 17, 2004 So when they say on the box of car bulbs its illegal to drive a car with a malfunctioning bulb at any time day or night is it a lie to sell more bulbs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
