Exhaust Flamethrower Kit

[jjlaughner]

I can't find the page now, a few years back I started looking into this stuff. Someone had an HEI kit for gm's that used a kerosen fuel and a deseil injector, electric pump and spark plug in welded bungs on extention tailpipes that where removable /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
You flip a switch on the dash and it diverts spark from one of the wires and retards the timing the switch also primed the kerosen pump (as a helper fuel it catches fire with the flame from the gas engine exhaust not the spark plug itself). Seems like it would work /forums/images/graemlins/dunno.gif
We seen some at the car shows a few years back so I was kind of interested till I seen the cars up close and relized they didn't have nice paint /forums/images/graemlins/whistling.gif

I'm not advocating the flamethrower idea (even though they aren't my cup of tea) I don't see why you need a carb.Valves are still opening and closing, piston is still sucking and pushing, if you drop a cylinder on a true dual setup, with the O2 sensor being on the OPPOSITE bank, then the ECM won't know what's happening on the other side of the motor.

Problem is that the TBI intake is a dual plane setup (thats how they can get away with a single 02 on TBI). So even though you dump a cylinder on one side, each injector is supporting 4 cylinders, 2 on each side. The O2 sensor would still see the excessivly rich mixture and pull back injector pulse width timing.

Still, I'm not saying it's right to have one, but if one were to do it, a carb would be the way to go.

Y'all are looking it it wrong. Doesn't matter what the engine fueler is. Use a cold start injector from a VW, drive it with a switch or better yet a PWM. Drive a coil with an oscilator circut & stick the sparkplug in the tailpipe downstream from where the injector is. /forums/images/graemlins/weld.gif /forums/images/graemlins/weld.gif

Saw a low rider '36 Chevy p'up at Paso Robles' Cruise Night one Memorial Day weekend grindin and flamin. It was cool. Had a piece of mag or Ti bolted to the frame and he could grind it on the ground. Then he'd hit the dust with the flamethrower and light 'em up.

there is a company that I saw at the SEMA show in vegas last year that makes a kit. Cats or fuel injection it does not matter the company is Autoloc.
