Anyone running a flamethrower?
I'm thinking of putting one on my truck but I'm not exactly sure how. From what I understand, I need to run a switch to a sparkplug wire along with a switch to a sparkplug in the exhaust pipe. Flip the switch to the engine spark plug off and fill the pipe with unused gas then flip on the exhaust pipe and watch the show. First of all, I don't even know how to get to the spark plugs. Second, is there a certain plug that would be better to run it to. And third, does anyone have pics from homemade or bought set-ups?

Might some rediculous but thats how they work. I had some on mine at one point but kinda a slight different setup. I do have channel iron welded to my tips and they are threaded for my plugs which are still in there. My setup was that I had an old ignition coil from a 4 banger so I could run the two plugs. It was wired to a switch. There has to be an igntion capacitor and ballast. In the end, you will find an unmodified EFI engine unable to do a flame like what you want on its own. They just are too fuel efficent. However, if you plumb some propane back there from something like an old NOS tank or even a small camping fuel bottle then you can do it. There are several places out on the net that will give diagrams and parts lists. Thats where I got mine from.

if you dont know how to get to your spark plugs, STAY AWAY from this mod! i had a friend do it to his 3000GT but he's a pro technician and even he was scared to try it. lit it up 2 or 3 times for fun then took it off. NOT safe, and i'm almost certain illegal to use just about anywhere. spend your time & money on something else before we all watch you on TRU TV
