Bit of a silly topic i know but i really fancy being able to produce these. Don`t mention baked beans!
I have a sti v5 3 inch ss system from the turbo, no cats and using millers octane plus with sul. I get a very occasional pop when changing gear and a few at about 1500rpm on the over-run. So please tell me what needs to be done to get them? Keith.

I had one on the motorway on the way to Bedford yesterday!

There was a Ford Focus driving right up my **** - feathered the throttle just so - big burp from car - Focus is suddenly 30 yards back and then changes lane

Can be programmed if you have a Link, Motec etc.

Cheers,

Trout

A vent to atmosphere dump valve will help with 'flames-out-the-back'.......but this is a bad thing (you're fooling the ecu into making the mixture rich).

Wouldn't like to be your turbo blades if/when one of the explosions occurs in their region....assuming this can happen?

Moray - lol!

I'm *sure* I've read previously that your incredibly Bad Idea (TM) was to fit a 5th injector into the d/p?

Wasn't there another Bad Idea (TM) with a sparkplug in the tailpipe?

Seriously, you need lots of heat, and unused fuel.

As in a monster engine running way rich to avoid detting, and a red hot turbo/downpipe.

Cool

You could always just disconnect one of the spark leads before going for a drive....

...but that would be an incredibly Bad Idea (TM).

Hi Keith,

You should get a few more flames (+BHP) if you just remove the catalytic convertor. I take it your exhaust still has one.

Cheers

The link comes with the anti lag as standard on the 2001 model year!

I need to buy another car!
