Spitting Flames

poniwasx · 05-04-2016, 11:13 AM

Still kinda new to everything on the car, but my buddy has a turboed mazda speed 6 and when he puts 100 oct in, his car spits flames. Now the question, can our Z's do that or am I just making myself look stupid on the forums!

The latter.

njobe89 · 05-04-2016, 11:23 AM

i believe there was a person that has done it before with their Z but still it's a no

Flames out the tailpipe are caused by a rich AFR which leads to hot, unburned fuel igniting when it hits air. You would, at the very least, have to remove the catalytic converter(s). Re-tuning, to run rich, might be required also.

Not sure I would label it as stupid but it's definitely not something I would recommend - especially for a DD.

that explosion in the exhaust is very bad for the engine.

Mine spits plenty of flames.... but I have testpipes and turbos.

Not nearly as stupid as somebody paying actual money for a "speed" version of any mazda lol.

Yes

But if you really want to look stupid, put some blast pipes on there, y0!

that made me get wet... sooo hawwwwttttt

poniwasx · 05-04-2016, 12:54 PM

lol thanks guys!

jaedub · 05-05-2016, 12:28 AM

In short, yes our Z can easily do that. But why would you? The retarded AF mixture will only screw up the car.

Turbo is an exception though.
