What are the damages of supercar flame spitting?
1 Answers
Supercar flame spitting has an impact on the vehicle. The reasons are as follows: Supercar flame spitting occurs due to large exhaust volume and incomplete gasoline combustion. During gear shifting or idling, electronically controlled fuel passes through the engine without burning. When the fuel comes into contact with the hot exhaust pipe, it combusts explosively and is ejected from the exhaust pipe, resulting in visible flames from the exhaust. It is best to have a professional inspect it at a shop. More details are as follows: 1. Turbo lag phenomenon: When a car accelerates, the throttle opening increases, and the engine speed rises. Many turbocharged engines require the turbocharger to increase intake pressure and speed up the intake process at this time. However, this process often involves a certain delay, which is the essence of the so-called "turbo lag" phenomenon. 2. Anti-lag system: To avoid this phenomenon, some manufacturers have developed the so-called anti-lag system. Although the anti-lag system can eliminate turbo lag, it increases fuel consumption. Additionally, because the mixed gas explodes in the exhaust manifold, it causes significant damage to the engine's exhaust valves, exhaust manifold, and turbo. However, in racing, performance is far more important than this. If an ordinary family car is modified with such a system just for show, it is not recommended.
