Some chavs have invented a "cheap" way to get this effect which involves a bottle of compressed methane (I think) and a line fed to a spark plug in the exhaust.

 

Quite why you'd want your car to have the characteristics of a badly tuned engine I don't know, do you like BBQs when you park in Asda car park? The mind boggles. My take on this is your car either does it for a reason (i.e. 2 step, antilag etc) or it looks supergash. Also, fake flames will NEVER look anything like the real deal IMO.

So far you seem to have gotten away quite lightly with this thread. Im subscribing, this should get quite amusing:D

 

Also if you want a BOV/dump valve for your NA while you're at it see here: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=162336&highlight=bov

 

:D This is getting amusing I didn't think it would generate so much interest, I also changed my Avatar guys so its work friendly :)

I thought flames were the result of safe mapping at high end revs causing excess fuel on the overrun? Surely that would be a result of good mapping?

 

Obviously anti-lag etc has the same effect and at almost any rev-range.

 

Forgive my ignorance but do some highly tuned engines on Superbikes,Moto GP bikes, Rally Cars and other racing cars not spit flames and backfire, as Scotser says there I would imagine they would be properly mapped :)
