Nytrosfinder Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 How would I make it spit Flames like this: I know I will need my engine fixed before this....And I know I will need a full aftermarket exhaust... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Buy the flamethrower kit. I know they make em for carburated cars not sure for fuel injected though. It's basicly a spark plug and ignitor that sparks the unburned fuel. There was a kit on my uncles old 49 Chevy. Made my sisters weddign a little different lets say(used all family owned classis instead of limos and I ended up driving the mystery-shifter 49 Styleline) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytrosfinder Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 I know about those kits.... but I think there is another way to do it... with tuning or something like that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nunya Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 It dies out more than just letting off every time he gets the flames to pop, gonna still say its some form of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doughboy Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 what you see there is called a BeER rev limiter. thats just the car backfiring. popular on the skylines around here that come down from BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doughboy Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Bee R rev limiter. simple answer: yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytrosfinder Posted September 25, 2009 Author Share Posted September 25, 2009 Are there any performance aspects to it as well? I wouldn't spend $300+ on something like that, that just looks cool and doesn't do anything for me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doughboy Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 only real performance aspect is exactly what they say. the two stage rev launch. my buddy dropped it in his H22 accord, ran a 15.2 in the quarter before hand, with the two stage, he had a much better launch and ran a 14.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edicer2 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) just make ur car run rich. my freinds 240sx with a sr20det in it runs rich and when it backfires it shoots a huge flame out. my pathy has backfired just as loud though but i never got a flame to come out Edited September 25, 2009 by edicer2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tungsten Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) How would one hook this up on a Pathfinder? Perhaps the same way its done on a 300zx? The only problems I see here is that the exhaust tip is a wee-bit close to the gas tank and you have to ditch the catalytic converter. Making your engine go rich will destroy the catalytic converter in no time. Other than that the Pathfinders don't exactly hit the rev limiters that much.

MikeV Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 tap a threaded hole close to the end of the exhaust (threaded for a spark plug) and an msd or coilpack (as long as she is running rich you should get flames) never tried it but in theory it should work (may cause the muffler to "explode" from detonation? ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 anti-lag spit fuel into the turbo upon closing of throttle, keeps turbo spooled up for small corners and such. popular in rally. not a great idea if you're expecting longevity.

Nytrosfinder Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 Fueler- Not to be an A** or anything.... but that seems pretty dumb and dangerous. I bet that if that turbo got hot enought, something around it could melt/catch fire/blow up etc. Just doesn't seem safe! As for the Bee R rev limiter, Doughboy what exactly would this thing do to the timing of the engine, and if I wanted to remove it from the car, would there be any harmful affects to the Electronics, fuel system, or exhaust system? Basically I just wanna know what will it do to the parts on the car if I put it on and can I take it off without harming anything(if it needs to be removed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingman Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Why do you want to make a Pathfinder spit flames? Come on bro...it's a Pathfinder, not something cool like a drag car or a gay little ricermobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastpath Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Why do you want to make a Pathfinder spit flames? Come on bro...it's a Pathfinder, not something cool like a drag car or a gay little ricermobile. x2. IMO the beauty of the Pathfinder should be in its understated image. It just looks dumb when too much "bling" or similar is added. To each their own though. If you really want to have flames shooting out of your 155hp truck go ahead.

Nytrosfinder Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Personally I wanna do it just to be different... Have you heard of anyone doing that to their pathy? I sure havent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FUELER Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 How about this - it's not the flames that make power.... it's power that makes the flames. As beastpath suggests, Unless you're ripping out the Pathfinder's hamster wheel of an engine and replacing it with something radical, there is no way you will ever get a legit fireball outta the tailpipe.

Kingman Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Nope, not like our old '73 Winnebago motor home with a Dodge 413 race engine in it that blew fireballs out of the side every time you let off the gas going down a hill! Yeehaw! That baby was so hot she even lit on fire once on the way to the beach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 you can do CNG or propane and pull off of one of the cylinders for the ignition...saw an old guy with an EFI show car that had the world record for flame throwers...he was running propane i think...but be careful with them b/c they are illegal in most places besides car shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
