Why is it not flaming? - Matt - 08-03-2016
right so the Rallye has a decat (cut open and emptied cat) straight through to hollow box
My mates expect flames, I had a straight thorough before and it did it, so it worries me that it's not. Is it running to lean or something. I'm too tired to work it out haha

maybe the magic dragon has lost its Puff?

Maybe the car has decided not to f*ck itself over spitting flames...
RE: Why is it not flaming? - Matt - 09-03-2016
I'm never high
So the fact it doesn't flame is normal? Someone mentioned to me the car could be running lean and that's why, which last night made perfect sense as I was so tired.
But now not so sure. If it's not meant to do it then I guess that's fine, I have a healthy engine after all

So... Mine has a magnex decat and a full brand new piper stainless system. It doesn't pop yet alone flame.

Try making spark plug gap bigger.

surefire way to kill an engine that, as the electrode falls off and pings around the chamber, stopping a spark and allowing a ton of fuel to hit a hot exhaust, you'll have lots of flame then

He didn't say I wasn't allowed to kill the engine... He wanted flames... I gave the man flames...
RE: Why is it not flaming? - Midnightclub - 09-03-2016
If you take it up to nearly the limiter in say 3rd, then dab the throttle on/off as the revs are dropping does it flame then?
RE: Why is it not flaming? - Toms306 - 09-03-2016
Just run a fuel line down to the exhaust...
RE: Why is it not flaming? - Stef205 - 09-03-2016
can of petrol and a match, and no you cant fit a omex rev limiter to it!

What size is it my magnex is 2.5 and makes like a gay fart and my mate 2.25 proper bangs.
Also check everywhere for airleaks a some one of them and bye bye to bang bang.
RE: Why is it not flaming? - Matt - 09-03-2016
Haha I'm not after flames, just wondered why it didn't
RE: Why is it not flaming? - ginge191 - 09-03-2016
Can I try make it flame?
RE: Why is it not flaming? - Ruan - 11-03-2016
Normally never flame/bang/fart unless provoked by cracking the throttle at around 4-6k RPM on the overrun. The management is calibrated well enough that it doesn't really do that, sometimes you'll get a very slight whiff of flame/black smoke when lifting off at high RPM, but usually not.
If it did before, it's likely it had an air leak on the inlet side causing it.
RE: Why is it not flaming? - Matt - 12-03-2016
Thinking about it, it was my old engine that would do it. The f*cked one haha
Think that did have an air leak somewhere aswell now I think about it.
I'm not fussed about having the flames etc just wondered why it was so different even though I am straight through
RE: Why is it not flaming? - Ruan - 12-03-2016
I'll bet if you crack the throttle between 6-4 on the overrun after nailing it, it'll bang and fart.
RE: Why is it not flaming? - Matt - 14-03-2016
It bangs it tits off now. There was a blow in the exhaust.
Now I need to try and stop in popping and burbling on overrun haha
