What Makes Cars Shoot Flames

[@septanos]

short answer: unburnt fuel gets in the exhaust and it ignites there.

[@rileycollens1312]

Why doesn’t my pop and bang tune shoot flames too lol

[@septanos]

@@rileycollens1312 specify what pop and bang tune u mean. 2 step? Anti lag? etc..

[@maxwell5428]

@@rileycollens1312 you got catalytic converters? Also sometimes the shape/ assembly of the exhaust will eat up fire.

They gonna have active aero and sound like Turbines in a few years, so i wouldnt worry lmfao. Tesla makes boring cars cus their supposed to be a competitor to Lexus and Cadillac. While their cars are fun, their not supposed to be hella loud, and be overall cool yk.

[@caominh2874]

afterfire? I thought it's called backfire

[@ivanbima5877]

Maybe they just look at plane "After Burner" and mix it up with back fire

[@theguppyshrimpx5777]

I’m about 4 months late, but it is actually called afterfire, there’s a difference

[@calvinDy]

Afterfire is fire coming out of the exhaust which is fine, but backfire is when the fire comes out of the intake usually seen in old carburated engines

[@AyyGin]

It really is called afterfire. Backfire sounds cooler but isn't actually correct in this case.

[@user-rl6px5ob3d]

[@gabecross9440]

Cars spit flames because their owners put taco bell in the gas tank.

[@kochan4636]

damn that crankshaft kinda high from the afterburn

[@ahmadshafiqzia2087]

please get a car guy to write your scripts. Also, those guys worrying you can not get flames on your regular car, get a flame kit. works really well

[@sandergjertsenstvold1051]

[@AlbaderBohamad]

Is BMW's twinpower turbo techonolgy considered as an anti-lag system similarly to the one mentioned in the video? Because my F56 JCW Mini has one and it pops and bangs, but never spit fire. My guess is that that the only restriction it has is the catalytic converter (Just the downpipe cat, not the 2nd cat most cars have due to European regulations), resonator and muffler (Just the downpipe cat, not the 2nd cat most cars have due to European regulations). It has the stock exhaust. However, the JCW Pro exhaust has a resonator delete, and it's a valvetronic system with one is considered a straight pipe exhaust when the valve is open except for the downpipe cat presence. Still, I've seen people install this exhaust on their cars and it doesn't spit fire. Some have even got a catless downpipe for the exhaust, and still not fire at the exhaust. I'm really clueless what's causing it not to spit fire... I mean it has a performance JCW tune, a turbo with Twinpower turbo technology (that I'm guessing works similarly to anti-lag systems). catless straight pipe, short exhaust, because it's short car uses no less than 91 octane gas. So, what could be the reason preventing it from spitting out flames?

[@nickcook7408]

DBW throttle mapping for HC emissions. Retard timing and do not fuel cut.

[@maxwell5428]

I’d imagine you’d have to be fully catless. It could be that your mini is just shooting baby flames. Have you tried setting up a camera at night time or in a dark place?

[@B1SQ1T]

Think of flames as just more extreme pops and bangs, you still have fuel being ignited at the end of ur exhaust which is the pops and bangs but there probably just isnt enough fuel for a massive flame

[@HemlockHK]

BMW's twinpower turbo technology refers to the fact that it uses a twin scroll turbocharger (a turbo that has 2 chambers in the exhaust side with 2 opposing cylinders attached to each chamber). This allows the turbo to more efficiently use the exhaust pulses to steadily build momentum and thus achieve boost faster. The anti-lag on these engines in factory setup are tied to the transmission computer programming in that it only activates on high demand during shifts (often referred to as DSG farts) when you hear that stutter from the exhaust during shifts. The pops in your exhaust won't shoot flames with catalytic converters or with stock tuning, you will need a custom tune for that. Hope this helps.....

[@yanniquillopo2370]

There's a type of car used by everyday people, that doesn't need much aftermarket parts to make it spit flames. The Skoda.

[@Michael-pp8lz]

I saw a nissan altima shoot flames. I think something was genuinely wrong with the car

[@theofficialfluffy]

Basically, when flames come out the exhaust (backfire) is when unburnt fuel makes it towards the exhaust, and when the exhaust gas heats the unburnt fuel, it sets fire, causing backfire,

[@purplerider2362]

I saw a video of a black corvette running from cops. Dude had a 360 camera on the back. You could see the flames looking like a rocket.

[@johnpapa8681]

I had a 302 in a 1957 ford pickup. It threw flame. Turned out the carburetor was running rich.

[@charliemaybe]

I feel like this should go on to a regular channel because this is not a topic that should have this depth of info. If on a car specific channel, get more in depth to get car nerds to watch the video. Get in depth about things

When I was 5 I loved it.

[@moza260]

ok rear engine cause backfire because of short exhaust, front engine car doesn't do that because catalytic converter and long exhaust system unless they have a turbo, how about NA mid engine sports car? does it backfire too?

[@itzshark6737]

Yeah this man doesn't know any thing.most of the time front engine,front mid engine,rear mid engine,rear engine cars can doesn't so much with backfire/afterfire. Forced induction or not that doesn't matter a lot as well.(forced induction means using a turbo/supercharger). Nowadays even sports cars have catalytic converters most of the times cars that can backfire are modified and tuned like deleting the muffler and deleting the catalytic converters. And tuned to make the spark plugs fire late so most of the fuel exits the the combustion chamber unburned and burns at the exaust tip.

[@itzshark6737]

There is another thing called 2 step that cause small puffs of fire and makes that gunshot sound that is a rev limiter that is used to hold the revs at the point where u have the can get the most power to the ground. It holds the revs by holding back the spark plug firing time. Again this causes unburned fuel out of the exaust tip.

[@itzshark6737]

Na mid engine sports cars can backfire like normal that's how lamborghinis backfire.the only lamborghini with turbos is the lamborghini suv the urus. other cars like the huracan the aventador the countach is naturally aspirated thy can backfire

[@cereal_dispenser]

@@itzshark6737 i never seen a countach backfire also the hurcan can't backfire in a production car without any mods because audi has to use it in r8 and they are in the diesel scandal with volks on the other side those v12 are proper lambo way with crazy Germans Fun fact : if a aventador spits flames every shift from 3rd its means its hot af and using every bit of fuel they was a test where the max out a aventador and it did 3 mpg
