WRX22B1998 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 If you guys have played GT4 or Wangan Midnight (Maximum Tune) or maybe some rally games, In gt4 (in auto) if you go to a corner in 3rd gear, then slam the brakes and go down 2nd and 1st, when your car shifts down, there is like a flame thing out of the exhaust. What is this called? Also in maximum tune if you let go of accel. then accel again it happens..like a bluey flame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrLlamaLlama Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 I learnt this in college, but it was last year and i don't really remember that well. I think it might be air (with high oxygen concentration) flowing through the engine, and being burned by the hot exhaust pipe. Get Urbanoutlaw in here, he knows his stuff. I might PM him.

Urbanoutlaw Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 You kids... That's just back fire. In a street car, you have at least a muffler to contain these so you don't see or hear them. In a racing exhaust or w/ "fart can" mufflers, the back fire makes it out to the end of the pipe & you see/hear it. It's the result of suddenly dropping to a lower gear & raising your RPMs. You get a bunch of unburned fuel in the exhaust system & at the high RPMs the exhaust valves aren't completely sealed. On top of that, you also get a sudden advance of spark (on older ignition systems, not sure on the new ones) & literally light off the exhaust. BOOM!!! Model A fords had an manually adjustable ignition advance (I used to restore them, a lifetime ago). You could play around & make some nice loud back fires. The guy I worked for did it to mess w/ his dog, until he blew up his muffler. IHRA Dragsters or Sprint cars make a nice show at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9 Krew Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Anyone here ever done a keybanger?? I love them, we do it in the tunnel and scare all the other drivers. but it does damage your car Process: While driving turn the car off and take the key out then insert the key back in and start up the car, thus cuasing a very loud noise to come from the car and when inside a tunnel it's quite hilarious.

Urbanoutlaw Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 That's pretty funny, until you blow up a $600 cat-back exhaust (or better yet, the exhaust in your parents new car). Then it's hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K9 Krew Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hah, Yeah , it ruined our car once and we were broken down in the middle of a really busy tunnel waiting for the cops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Look at the ground, say "DOH!" Don't feel bad, I found out in my younger days a '77 VW Rabbit (Golf) has NO off road capability. I claimed I hit a pothole so insurance replaced the transmission mounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
