I have been looking for a while and am unable to find a colored flame thrower kit for my car. I was wondering if anybody had an idea of where i can get a green flame thrower kit for my exahaust. Any help would be great.

Thanks Zack

 

cant help you out too much but a wrd of caution. Mst flame thrower kits cut spark to one or more of the cylinders so all the extra fuel comes out the tale pipe and is burned. This will throw a cel, it will destroy your cat and fuel is not a lubricant its basically a cleaner, so all the oil on the cylinder walls is washed off and the piston rings run dry. Not good for the motor at all.

 

^^^Nice to know...

 

ive seen a propane kit used in a montecarlo... where the propane injector and additional sparkplug goes in behind the cat... might wnna look into one of those

 

I have been working on this off and on for a long time now. A kit that sprays a fuel will be your best bet. unless you have some major motor mods, turbo?

I removed my cat and the ecu does not know how to act, so it dumps extra fuel in the motor, you can smell it at the tail pipes. I have installed spark plugs but am having probs getting them to spark right. I get tired of working on it and do something else. I may work on it some more sometime.

I may end up buying a kit that sprays a fuel, myself. Also keep in mind you need to make sure that your exhaust has enough back pressure so the flames don't suck back into the exhaust, and blow up.

 

Flame Thrower

That flame thrower is offered by autoloc. Im not really sure how it functions but thats an option...

The easiest way I could think of for the Spark is,Get a distributor from a old car (Needs points) and a coil and a small motor to turn it. Now this is old skool.

propane kit for the win.

 

i have no idea how to make it green...wouldnt you need a chemical that would produce a green flame?

jake

 

propane is a blue flame

 

i'm all for the melted bumper!!!

 

ok, try going to an auto recycler and pull a coil pack from an ECHO,XB,XA ( you know, the coil over type we use). small, easy to hook up. hope your plug is installed into your tail pipe about 8".

to get a green flame you'll need some copper in the mix ( copper burns green)

both simple and effective.

 

ya just some copper braid at the end of the tailpipe might do something, i dont know if it will all be green but you might see a little speck or somthing

 

The coil pack sounds good but what do you use to make/break the conection so it will fire?I would not trust one fire.
You have to be good to flip a switch on and off to get the spark.

Yes I need more info on this please.

 

You will need something to make and break the voltage to the coil pack to get it to fire,That is why I recomended a distributor from a older car for the use of the cam and points th do the hard part you will need to fire multiple times to keep the flame and guarentee it to ignite the fuel.
The easiest way is to turn the distributor with a small 12V. motor.
If you want you could put more than 1 plug in the pipe and have it multi fire off the distributor.

The only substance I know of that burns with green flame is copper, and your exhaust isn't going to produce nearly enough heat to burn copper. Even if there was a way to make that much heat in your exhaust you'd probably lose your car to it. This just seems like a bad idea.

 

so I can't just run power to the coil pack right? what if I put in a blinker relay? would that break the cycle, with the pusing that it does, or would that not be fast enough?
