Urgent!Help!
The garage fits my new flamer kit this afternoon. After I try several times, I cannot see the flame coming out my loud exhaust. Ask the mechanics, they said everything works properly butta still flame. I am just wondering is that any skill using when I push the pedal? Why is that and need gurus help.
Great thanks for reply

Maybe your car is running a little lean so not enough unburnt fuel coming through, I've seen a few cars with these fitted and they were running rich to get a flame, something i wouldn't recommend. I don't know if they have to run slightly rich though.

Maybe try altering the plug gap? Mine worked fine straight away. You have to give it lots of revs then it should flame when you back off the accelerator. I assume you are decatted? A VTA dumpvalve helps too.

You can make it flame when revving from standing still, but only if you don't leave it idling for ages first, you have to have been driving around for a bit.
Here are some pics of mine:
