I may be fabbing up my own flame thrower setup using the 9th injector and a ignition setup of my own, to ignite the fuel, I'll be injecting into my exhaust, on my 87 iroc-z 350 tpi. I'm already putting headers and some sort of custom exhaust on the car. I'm just curious as to whether anyone witha 3rd gen has a flame thrower setup on there car. I haven't seen one or heard of one yet, am I the only one that has thought about this?

How are you goin to put your injector in your exust? it better not be anywhere farther the the tip of the exuast. other wise u will blow your car up or have a really great chance on settin it on fire. if your entending on blowin flames liek the pic im goin to post then your goin to need to read up alot on it and ask around at carshows were guys have flamethrower setups on and not just those ones that kill the coil to dump raw fuel into the exuast.

that nova has a custom put together kit and it doesnt use gasolene. that guy also has a 34 ford with a flame thrower kit on it he built, he set the back of his car on fire once and that was set up right, it just came back and bit him.

I am going to relocate my 9th injector to next to the master, and attach some similar sized brake line, run the line towards the tip, but have it about two feet before the tips of the exhaust. And I'm going to run a one way valve, so fuel will always be in the line up until I hit a switch with a relay and resistor, to open the solenoid in the injector, and shoot the fuel into the exhaust. While also having the spark setup running about a foot before the exhaust tips. I've looked all over online for the setups, but I'm still going to be using a cat, and I already have a compact ignition system fabbed up for igniting the spark plugs for the fuel. I'm just curios as to whether or not anyone has one on there thirdgen.

u have to put the spark plug 6'' and no more before the tip. other wise you can have bad results. most places will have it in the instructions that you have to put it 6'' before the tip. like if you tip is 6'' long then the end of that is were u put it.

Yeah I've read about placement, it may differ on some cars, since I'm injecting the fuel into the exhaust, rather than having it enter through the intake and what not, placement isn't probably going to be as much of a concern. But I'll still be careful so that I don't wind up blowing my muffler up.

it doesnt matte how u think your set up is differnt the others. the picture i posted the guy has the spark plugs almost 4'' awayfrom the end of the tips, all the other kits ive seen , even the one they did on Trucks on Spiketv, said placement is 6''.

also how far is the injector goin to be away from the end of the tip?

while back i posted something about this. Im still gonna do it, but i need to save $ rite now for exhaust system. There is another site though i dont remember the address off hand. I know you can make a self contained flame using propane and an injection system or use the conventional method but you cant run cats at the same time. unless you inject the fuel after the cat.

my fav systems (and in my opinion the potential to be the safest) are the propane injection ones.

not only are they a bit safer, but they shoot a very cool, jet engine like blue flame out instead of the gasoline fireball.


think about this.. fuel leaks into your exhaust, it puddles and you have a bomb. ever hear a loud backfire when a rich carbed car lets off the gas? thats only a SMALL amount of gas. you can easily kill yourself if the gas leaks.


meanwhile propane is a gas, not a liquid. and you can get one way regulators like thoes used on gas grills, ect... stuff MADE to work with it burning with a open flame... and if it leaks? when you first start the car, and somewhat while it sits, it wafts and is blown out... still a highly dangeous bomb, but it "disarms" itself alot quicker then gasoline does.


if you have a flame thrower kit... have a rather LARGE fire extingusher handy in the car... heh.
