Flame Thrower Exhaust Modification

Exhaust Flame Thrower Primer:

 

A flaming exhaust kit is used to shoot flames from your car’s tail pipe with the press of a button. Similar to the flaming exhaust special effects seen in movies like The Fast and the Furious, a flaming exhaust kit can help you light up the night and dazzle the streets without doing harm to your vehicle.

While flaming exhaust can’t be used on the open road or while driving, it makes for a great show whether you are in a contest or simply showing off for friends. With proper installation, your flaming exhaust kit will provide years of quality use.

When you activate your flaming exhaust kit, your car’s ignition system will be momentarily interrupted. This will allow unburned fuel to pass through your vehicle’s exhaust system where it will meet the flaming exhaust kit’s components. When this raw fuel hits the spark generated by the flaming exhaust kit’s Spark Plug Unit, exhaust flames will be created. With a little practice, shooting flaming exhaust ten or more feet is entirely possible.

It’s important to remember that not all flaming exhaust kits are created equal. With our exhaust flamethrower kits, you’ll benefit from easy installation, quality parts, and the elimination of damage to your motor or exhaust system. To determine which flaming exhaust kit you need, you simply need to look at your car’s exhaust system. If you have a single exhaust system then you will need one of our single flaming exhaust kits. For vehicles with dual outlets or a dual exhaust system, our dual flaming exhaust kit will be  needed.

Sometimes, older model cars will shoot longer flaming exhaust because of the lack of a catalytic converter. If a catalytic converter is installed on your vehicle, it will burn off excess fuel before it leaves the exhaust system, and this may reduce the size of the flaming exhaust. Because flaming exhaust relies on unburned fuel, if you are looking to significantly improve or boost your exhaust flames, you can remove the converter (check local ordinances) or wait for its effectiveness to diminish over time.

If you want more intense flaming exhaust, then it may be necessary to tune your vehicle accordingly. While we do not have or provide information about tuning various vehicles, you can ask your local mechanic or consult your owner’s manual for more information on fuel curves and running richer or leaner.

 


Exhaust flame thrower kit Instructions:

What you need:

1. You will need a relay that they use at the stereo shop for alarms, make sure the relay has the numbers 87, 87a, 86, 85, 30 on it, if it doesn't then that is the wrong relay.

2. Go to a parts store and get an old style coil that has the positive and negative on it just like the one from the old Ford F-150. If you go to Autozone, the part number is C-819 coil.

3. Coil wire for the coil about 3 feet long or longer if you can get it.

4. Spark plug.

5. A momentary switch.

6. Roll of 14 gauge wires in color Green, Blue, Black, Red, and Yellow

7. Wire connectors.

8. Black electrical tape.

Wiring Diagram:




The "Fire Box" 

1. Take all the color wires and cut a piece of about 1 feet long of all colors. You should have 5 pieces of wire in 5 different colors.

2. Place the connectors on all 5 wires.

3. Connect the Green wire to # 87A on the relay.

4. Connect the Yellow wire to #87

5. Connect the Black wire to #86

6. Connect the Red wire to #85

7. Connect the Blue wire to #30

If you are going to sell the item, go to Radio Shack and get what is called a Project Box so you can put it inside that box and fill the box up with fiber glass resin so if they try to open it they will have to break it and will not know how to make one. :-)

Your fire box is ready. Make sure all wires are in the right numbers or it will not work right with these instructions.

Installing the flame thrower kit:

1. Find a location for the relay or fire box under the dashboard.

2. Open your hood and look for your car's coil.

3. Once you find it you will have to look for the negative wire of your cars coil. The easiest way to do this is to take the coil you got from the store and connect 2 wires to it. Connect the coil wire to the coil and the spark plug to it. Now take the wire that is connect to the positive side of the coil and connect it to the battery. The ground side you will use to find what wire in your car's coil will make it spark.

4. Make a small slice cut on all the wires coming from your car to your car's coil (don't cut them). Start you car's motor and take the ground wire from the store coil and touch each one of the wires on your car coil till you see that the spark plug is firing. Once you've found it, cut engine off. Cut that wire.

5. Run a wire from your car's coil side of the car to where your relay or fire box will be located and connect it to the Green wire on the relay.

6. The wire that was coming from the car to the car's coil, run a wire from there to the relay and connect it to the Blue wire on the relay.

7. Find an ignition wire in your car (power when you turn the key) connect the ignition wire to the Red wire on the relay.

8. Mount your Switch, one side to ground on the car and the other to Black wire on relay.

9. Mount your store coil in the trunk close to your exhaust, drill a hole in your trunk, then drill a hole about 6 inches behind your exhaust or muffler for the spark plug (be careful not to make it too big)

10. Run a wire from your car battery to the coil in the trunk, positive side of the coil.

11. Run the Yellow wire on the relay to the rear coil, negative side.

12. Start your car, in park. Take the engine to about 5,000 RPM and press and hold the switch, the engine should start to stall and you should have flames.



Troubleshoot: No Flames?

1. Try changing the wires around for the Green and Blue.

2. Make sure your engine is running rich.

3. Make sure the spark plug is firing (take it out and test it outside don't try to look in your exhaust)

4. Make sure you have no Catalytic Converter.
