As far as the injection is concerned I was thinking about using an extra NOS wet system I have laying around. I was only planing on using the FUEL solenoid part of it, if the flame reaches the spray injector will it follow up the line and cause major damage? Has any one used a NOS system for a flame thrower?
Why would you want a flamethrower setup?
Is it not enough to drive into the Saturday night rod run in a nifty car?
I always wanted to make S'mores at a car show :D
Where are you planning on injecting all this extra fuel at????
I'm going to change my exhaust to run out the back of the car. I'm thinking about putting the spark plugs 5 inches from the end of the exhaust and the injection will be about 5 inches behind the plugs.
Maybe the father back I have the injection the safer I will be? I have an extra 10psi fuel pump and 100psi fuel pump collecting dust. I'm not to sure how much psi the nos solenoid can handle tho.
Most of the tailpipe injection units I've seen run propane for the flames insteaed of gas... Guess I don't like the idea of a bunch of extra fuel lines and stuff all over the car, gas is dangerous enough just in the carb....
Thats what I was thinking gas is just to dangerous. I think they sell kits for flame throwers for like 100-150 bucks that will be a lot safer and easier than using a modified Nitrous system with gas. I can see your idea of using gas though , I think they used to peddle and flood the system with unburnt gas to get flames in the early days. Injecting gas though is asking for trouble.Quote:

I wonder if I can get my nos tank filled with propane.
Sure you could , but its just not made for it. Were you going to get the nozz tank filled with gas????
Different filler necks, too... Not sure how you make a connection to fill it....
please post the results on youtube!
well i could be on is local news :eek:Quote:

then yes. it can.
doest sound to safe,or well thought thru :whacked:
Flamethrower and safety in the same post is the biggest oxymoron I've seen in some time.
I note that you have a couple of cars.
That's good, at least you'll have one to drive when the first one burns up - or down.
Let's hope you don't take anyone with you when it happens....

I tapped into the coil driver ciruit that fires the coil (EFI) ...with one switch (or horn button) i can deliver fuel and ignite the coil. I put a spark plug about 5" after the ex outlet. You NEED fresh air or it wont light . If you can intodue air into the exhaust upstream that would work too. It is safe enough, depends if you scream like a little girl when you take a can of ether and ignite it when seating the bead on a truck tire....
