My old turbo cinq used to pop blue flames and my RX7 shoots yellow flames on high rev gear changes (huge ones at that)

Bora daily just smokes :P

Guys, perhaps this may sound like a silly question. But, can a stock 3SGTE Rev2 with uprated fuel pump, HKS Hi Power exhaust throw flames and popping??

And another silly question here. By installing an adjustable fuel pressure reg and raising the fuel pressure, will the flames get bigger??

I noticed this on an MR2 when i was drving on the motor way

It had a dual exhaust on it (berk, mongoose, janspeed, motoria) and it was flaming out of 1 pipe instead of 2

why could this be?

one of the boxes colapsed

Well, I've replaced the stock downpipe with an aftermarket 3" downpipe. The car certainly pops but no flames :( But I can definitely feels an improvement in performance 8)

Skip the first bit, its the boring bit to get to the good bit!
Addmittedly the map had been tweeked ever so slightly to over fuel a little as the engine was running low compression, was to try and save it before a rebuild, but i flamed like a monster before that anyway!
At idle when it was cold, it sounded like it was running antilag! am blip of the throttle would cause 6 or 7 loud pops!
Am getting another 2 very soon, i am gagging to get it flaming!
