N2O is an oxidizer. At higher temperatures it breaks down and gives up it's oxygen atoms. By providing more oxygen, more fuel can be burned, providing more energy or power. I can see how N2O can add to the flames at the exhaust, but it would have to be added after the engine.

The theory seems to work but I don't wont to complicate the setup with nos. I prefer if it worked with spark plugs in the exhaust!

What about rev limiting the engine from the ecu temporary for show? My friend tried it on a kawazaki motor and done about 10min machine gun fire lol!

What about setting temporary the rev limiter at 3000rpm?

Chris Rado's widebody tC that was used in "Spy Hunter" threw 40-foot flames with whatever kit they installed on that. Had to take it off after the filming was complete, definitely not street legal!

(but I'd probably do it)

Hmmm did some reading, I really really don't have a clue.

Sorry I brought it up just thought I would add my quirky obsession of RC's into a thread.

To create a flame thrower, you need an excessively rich fuel mixture and an ignition source at the end of the exhaust.

I have heard even if you get the kit to work it wrecks your valves because of the sudden backpressure.

yaris-me · 02-14-2009, 06:31 PM

Then don't do it.
