hello, i know this topic has sound familiar to all. but as far as i research everyone that owns an rotary engine car there are able to make their cars shoot flames.
in this case i have an 05 rx8 a/t an i deleted the cat n put straight pipes 2.5"
but the car still dont shoot no flames at all. is there a reason for this?

 

I own a 6 port auto, so RPM's might change. I have the full TurboXS exhaust with AP tuning. Make sure the exhaust is hot.

What I do:

-Run the engine up to 7500 RPM's in 2nd or 3rd gear (under load)
-Put in neutral, let the RPM's fall to 6500 RPM's
-Rev back up to 7500 RPMS (still in nuetral)
-Stab the gas pedal at it hits 6500 RPM's again

It literally sounds like a shotgun blast.
Cause:

 

get a proper exhaust

 

just keep bouncing the needle at redline, works for me all the time

 

-1, How can you tell him that his exhaust isn't any good. And how could that be the reason he isn't shooting flames....?
You probably are shooting flames, you just have to drop the throttle just right, it takes a little practice. There are videos of people shooting flames really easily and usually it's because they have a rich tune on the Access Port.

 

You must be very frustrated to start a thread like this.

 

would love my 8 if i could shoot flames like that.
thanks for ur method, will try it.

 

Haha yes i know but i really wana b able to do this.

 

I have try that before but i stoped bc the radiador light goes on for a sec...
i don't wana screw up my engine

 

if he is running a stock exhaust, he wont get the nice big ol flames. he needs something with a less restrictive airflow, hence why i said you need a proper exhaust.

and +1 on the AP

 

Well he said he was catless. A full exhaust would shoot more fire but I had no problem with a stock exhaust catless.... I think it's just technique but a better exhaust wouldn't hurt.

 

i tried to pop flames once with an AP Midpipe and a stock exhaust, all i got was baby flames lol.

 

ok yeah, they are baby flames....Here's a video of mine when I was catless.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsETtYS0t6w

 

There is a thread about "pop flames" in here somewhere. Too lazy to search. In there, you'll see rx8's shooting pop flames and info on how it is done, check it out.

 

What kind of exhaust so u have now?

Back to stock.... it sucks, I had the exotic speed mp and the HKS high power and I loved it, but I needed the $ and I got a ticket for being too loud.

 

Laythor... I remember when you first posted that vid... Epic!!!

 

flame on!

 

Dude please what u got in that 8

 

For been loud??? Were u from so i wont rich those city limits

 

This thread makes me wanna cry.

 

^.................+1

The amount of stupidity and total disregard for the English language in here is astounding!

I'm just saying.

Carry-on.

 

Whats always worked for me is warm it up, rev to about 3k and hold, push to 5 k for about 4 seconds then full throttle, before red lining let off, then rev back up to red line and keep bouncing the needle. If u get really good you can time the pop and rev it right before to make an even louder and bigger flame. I only have these small flame pics for now.
