I have a 96 wrx with 3''turbo back exhaust, FMIC and induction kit.

What other MOD's do i need to do so that she spits flames out of the exhaust. (don't want to put a flamer kit on). Just been overtaken by a Bug eye which was spitting massive flames out.. looked quality!!!!

Any help would be appreciated..

completely decat(but sounds like you already have) VTA dump valve, and should be away.A remap can help to if you ask for a "pop and bang" map
Not all cars do it, mine doesnt flame by itself and im running 361bhp.

i always thought flames where caused by over fuelling or running huge power????

On ecutek I think they can map in some mild anti lag to make some pops and bangs, flames etc.

My old 320hp blob used to spit them (de-cat, uprated VTA bov) when driven hard, particuarly on downshifting.

Either that or get an aftermarket ECU and get switchable anti-lag

I have flames lol:

Antilag

JimmyBFC

yep, running rich, when the timing is retarded and unburnt fuel htis the hot exhaust on exiting, not as simple as that, but thereabouts.

does that not damage the car then?

JimmyBFC

Bit of flaming....hmm...no that bad, but if a car is anti-lag enabled and the driver likes using it often, then it can decrease turbo life, short 30-40 sec burst seem ok, but as you see with full on WRC cars, they have it on nearly continuously, but they get re-build often.

Most tuned cars run slightly rich, I always get a strong petrol smell when I really welly it, but only when accelerating on full chat.

andy forest for the mapping. i sure like to see a car poping and banging looks good

Too much popping and banging can result in borewash which is not a good thing.

95wrx with 3" straight thru, polar chip and VTA dump valve(due to intercooler mod) Flames like a good un.

Vent to atmosphere. (vta) rather than recirc back into the inlet hoses.

mine flames like **** . flamer kit included

JimmyBFC

This is not as common as you think, its a bit of a myth tbh, pops and bangs can easily be controlled once you get used to how and when it comes on, with ecu'tek, a small LED can be fitted to flash when its reached the parameters of mild mapped in anti-lag, thereby being able to use it sensibly, and not scorching the coppers bumper who might be behind you...lol

JimmyBFC

oh dear....not the flamer kit....lol....get some proper anti-lag

Mines flames without flamer kit:

Just a bit of overfueling on gearchange and a very hot exhaust and away it goes.

Flamer Kits are for chavs with Corsas.

If you want flames from a scooby tune it properly!!!

Been there done that. I'd been giving mine a bit of stick out in the twisties and approached a built up area so slowed down. I pulled up to some lights and a policeman pulled out of a junction behind me. The lights changed and I pulled away gently. Things must have still been hot because when i changed from 1st to 2nd crack pop bang flash a big hoofer came out. I saw the tail of it in my rear view mirror. I was certian I was in for hard time from the plod behind me. They pulled along side me gave me a nod, the thumbs up and then on came the blues and they sped off. I was gobsmacked.

This current build will have circa 600bhp and full blown anti lag

JimmyBFC

bet the old ar$e was twitching....."fuksake" spoken through clenched lips.....lol

Thats next for me, a Motec or Hydra and some anti-lag, switchable though, can't be abusing that turbo too much
