If so, note the sticker behind the left rear wheel on the bumper: Sportec. Their website: sportec.ch. Rennlist member & author Adrian Streather lives in Switzerland. Here's his 964 C4 on the same dyno: http://www.adrianstreather.com/image...y-2004-022.gif A GT1 on the same dyno: http://www.autops.co.uk/assets/image...no_300x295.jpg |
Ah yes, I know Sportec. Very cool pics, all!

This thread is hot!

So what does it take to make flames? Turbos and no muffs? Race fuel?

+1 on inquiring minds want to know... Why/What/ How is this happening?
Basically a hot exhaust with un-burnt fuel inside and upon lift-off oxygen enters and ignites the un-burnt fuel and when the gas pedal is pressed again upon moving on to next gear the flames exit the tail pipes – more common with Turbo cars. Or one of these stupid ricer things: http://www.cruising4pussy.co.uk/stor...roducts_id/108 :surr: |
I have lots more pics I've taken at Sportec if anybody is interested to see |
I routinely produced flames but they were always blue (indicating the correct mixture) and were usually (as reported to me) when upshifting. I ran a single turbo, non-intercooled, with a 3.0 engine. Downstream of the turbo was a length of exhaust pipe, bent roughly in the middle, and that served as the muffler. It exited out the left (proper) side on my 1981. What a great sound, that engine had.

Unfortunately, these are pix of our member "Jean" and his fire last year. He has a new post on the TT board explaining what happened and what he's considering doing with the car now.https://rennlist.com/forums/993Turbo...558-post1.html Thanks for the update, & pointing us towards towards his current thread, "Go back to 3.6TT engine or fix Protomotive 3.8TT twin plug beast?" https://rennlist.com/forums/customav...tar6403_29.gif http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4137/...ca463c0e_o.jpg ^^ Lotus digital edit by flickr.com user 'Nigel Smuckatelli' |
I'll never forget the first time I was invited to one of the Tri-State Renlister's "Fun Runs".
I was behind one of the turbo cars on an interesting section of road. Because my car is considerably slower, I was braking deeper into the corners while trying to keep up. I got pretty close to the turbo car in front of me on the way into one of the corners. He lifted off the throttle, and a huge flame shot out of his tailpipes, aimed right at my front bumper.:eek: I made sure I gave him plenty of room after that. :) --Chuck-- |
