speak to mark b4 you'll be better with a smaller gap so there's less chance of it being blown out. it'll be stonger with a smaller gap also you've not taken the vta off have you?

tvm

Vent to air, dump valve, you need one of these for a flamer to work

i know the flamer works on the car.

tvm

nope still got the dump valve on there

tvm

ill try closing the gap a bit on the spark plug and see if that does it

tvm

to get it going you dip the clutch and rev it correct?

if you slip the clutch it'll help. basically the vta will cause the car to overfuel when you change gear and this is what gets ignited by the plug. you could try sticking a splash of octane booster to help it flame.

are you trying to get it from standstill or when moving? most classics won't flame at standstill.

have you changed anything else?

tvm

at standstill that mite be it then.. the old plug was finished i know that beacause there was no spark generated at allfrom it
why dont the clasics flame from standing

I used to get it to flame by driving along, dipping the clutch and blipping it around the 4k mark. after about the 3rd blip you start to flame up nicely.

something to do with the map. most newage versions don't flame at standstill either. tiny's does because of the remap.

tvm

well iv fixed it it was a loose conection in the boot its flameing great now or so said by brother it will flame from standin i jus had to rev a lil bit higher thanks for all the help guys

I was going to say that make sure the heatsink isn't earthing out on the car as this will kill the circuit stone dead. (I know as I designed the ESC flamer and had some problems with a guy with a similar problem)

Does a flamer kit really need a dump v to work?

Cornelius

iTrader: (2)

yes, it needs a VTA dumpvalve, it don't work with a recirculating dv

Going 4 400bhp

iTrader: (2)

What about no DV at all? Could it be mapped with a power fc to work?

Haven't a clue on that one mate, I've fitted a flamer to a car with the standard recirc and it wouldn't flame, as soon as a VTA went on, it flamed
