This is referred to older cars to cut ignition so the car can dump straight fuel into the exhaust then upon activation it would light it all up.

Things to keep in mind:
If you have catalytic converters you will kill them in less than a year
You will develop exhaust leaks over time since the flaming will kill gaskets and warp flanges
Depending on use you might melt loose components i.e. bumper, etc
You'd have to cut power to ALL of the coils and this could lead to issues depending on how it's done

Through tuning you'd be able to obtain flame/burble/popcorn and though it's much more expensive than the flame kit, it will make your car run better/ efficient/more power + the added flame. This would be the best option without the headaches.

Why do I say this? Because you'll most likely come here or to social media once you install the kit and develop issues. We will like to help however mods like this are discouraged due to their complications.
Any time you install aftermarket systems like this you decrease the chances of support being that a variable we will never know are your skills.

Thanks for responding
Yes I know that but I still would like to do it, so I already installed everything but I don’t find the ignition coils fuse or the wires what I’m looking for the wire that goes from ignition switch to ignition coils and that’s mean I think there is a wire that make all the coiles in one wires that goes to ignition switch !

Oh god. This kit was designed for carburetted engines, not EFI. Spark plug in the muffler? My dad was doing that in his '32 Buick.

So that diagram is for how the flame system works and that's all you can use it for.
This unit is perfect for single coil'd cars however for newer vehicles with coils on plugs/ CAN networks/ intelligent modules meant for communication and diagnostics, you might have a harder time doing this.

I dont want to sound like a d!ck but many folks discourage this type of mod to these cars, from tuning to mechanics to knowledgeable forum members and many intelligent users of social media. I understand it's your car, your money and your mods however you're asking for specific help on an old useless modification and also walking into this sideways. You've already installed the kit so you're demanding the help really since it looks like we can't convince you otherwise.
Though this forum is decent as far as the flaming of members, other platforms might let you have the full flame if you go in with the same questions.(no pun intended).

To achieve this you will have to find the help somewhere else, I learned a lot of the info I know from these cars through the Factory Service Manual.
In a brief explanation the G works like this:

The G uses a push start button that sends a signal to the body control module and the intelligent power distribution module to click the starter relay to turn on, this same intelligent power distribution module turns on your coils.
According to the kit you should just snip the wire from the IPDM and insert the kit.
What I don't know is if by doing so the ECM will detect a fault and throw a check engine light.

Please understand that you'll be stuck if this install goes wrong since not many people do this type of mod to these cars, I wish you the best of luck with this modification.

Good luck.

This guy is spamming the whole forum asking the same questions. It is obvious he has no clue what he is doing. @BULL , as much as I/ we appreciate all of your contributions, please don't waste your energy on this. When he f's his car up and/ or blows his aşş apart, it's his own doing.

You know, there's a 1980's version of this hack that includes a motorcycle fuel injector in the tailpipe too that overcomes the whole modern-efi issue.

Not that I would condone this mod.

TBH, feels like he's trolling us IMHO. Let's see how/if he reacts before we need to... take action. <dun dun DUN!>

So apparently this is a thing.


I suppose it's better than huffing paint.... Although, both may potentially be fatal.
