Howto: DIY Flamekit Project

[Eukanuba]

Ok, after taking an interest in 'afterburning' as seen in ' the fast and the furious ' and ' batman '.. I decided to do some research.

I decided to install a flame out kit for my bike, why ? because I wanted to.. in theory - it'd be safer than just a regular 'keybang'.. so I set out on my mission to install one..

Now, that's over with.. onto the juicy bits..



Step 1.


Read the instructions, read them again.. and then, check again to make sure you've not missed anything..


Step 2.


Find a location to mount the 'control module'

Must not be allowed to earth against a metal frame, so my 'glovebox' was perfect for this.. and i wasnt using this space anyhow..

This box came with double sided tape, no additional drilling required.. easiest part so far..





Step 3.


What we have here, is an automotive ignition coil..

a +ve side, a -ve side.. and a High tension line out.. that runs to a spark plug....






Step 4.


Connect the blue wire, from the control box - to the ignition coil +ve screw..





Step 5.


Here's the next part, selecting a 'drill point' in which we shall mount the ignition device.. also known as a spark plug.. ( note, the can is off the pipe.. )






Step 6.


Commence the drilling !







and here's the drill...





Step 7.


Here, the plug is in - it's a 12mm hole..

Lead is on the plug, and the securing nut is in the pipe.. holding the plug in place..





Step 8.


Secure the high tension lead..





Step 9.


Here's what it looks like, 'down the pipe'









Step 10.


Now, to decide where to mount this coil..

In the glove box will waste valuable space that I use for my first aid kit.. Mobile phone, neck warmer.. etc.. so i dont want some filthy big coil sitting in there...



That mounting place for a reg/rec looks good..



But, after all is said and done.. the fairings need to go back on.. and - this proved a problem..







Step 11.


Check the wiring isnt pinched, that's running through the glovebox.. dont want a pinched High Tension lead direct to the frame..








Step 12.


Mount that switch..








Step 13.


Run the earth from the control module, to the frame..




Clean up those ties..







All starting to come together now..







Step 14.


Right, lets move that coil to some place it will fit..

Wrap a piece of demim material around the coil so that the ratchet ties hold the slippery surface a bit more snug, and it now partially sit's inside the frame.. more secure..

Hook the -ve terminal on the coil, to earth on the bike..






Step 15.


Didn't get a photo of this stage, but it involved splicing the line from the ignition coil and wiring a switch between.. also, wiring 12V dc and a fuse from the battery to the switch.. and the trigger line from the control box to the switch.. then put all the fairings back on..

I'll finish taking the rest of the photo's and post up soon..

so when i need assistance from road rager cagers i know who to call....looking forward to seeing the finishing project

nice work there euk, can't wait to see some flamer shots

[mekon]

Cool, ^^whs^^ bring on the after shots. I remember keybanging an old cortina and a few ford noddy vans, was good fun, right up there with the old acetyline bombs.

[Kryzaach]

oh noes, browsing this thread resulted in HTTP_GETs for those pics, i wasn't stealing them i swear, please don't use your interweb skillz to prosecute me.

P.S. Awesome Idea, just don't test it if I'm behind you!

[Mongrel11]

Marshmellows anyone???

Jarrod

[Insane]

Sounds really good..
I'm guessing the MO is flame-out ON.. key OFF.. burn off all the fuel in the can.. Now turn key back ON.. Oh dear me.. fuel in headers goes bang.. fuel in can is still burning..
What happens when bang meets bang..??

Fitted up a car (pygmy van) in my youth.. was the same set-up. with the exception of a metho/kero venturi pick-up.. No key OFF.. helluva batman flame...

[Davey]

Pretty sure the key stays on - just burns off unburnt fuel in exhaust

[Hired_goon]

Pretty sure the key stays on - just burns off unburnt fuel in exhaust

There'd be plenty of that in Honda pipes.

[Eukanuba]

Pretty sure the key stays on - just burns off unburnt fuel in exhaust

On the money Davey !

The pressure of the 2 other cylinders firing pushes the vapour out - so it's not 'sitting' in the pipe waiting for the ignition.. so you get a continuous flame..

So, technically not a 'bang' per se.. just a flameout..

[browncow]

I threads like this.....

Flameon Euk. Can't wait to see the action shots.

[mekon]

Next projects for Eukanuba...

1, A compact swivel mount rotary tracking shotgun for firing backwards at traffic.

2, Pillion ejector seat for those times you get bike-jacked

3, revolving James Bondesque numberplate

4, Full stealth fairing which reflects multanovas and radar (bike appears invisible)

5, Light refracting surfaces on bike for similar effect

6, A liquid nitrogen cooled drink dispenser (Camel pack type thing)made in the subframe (like a Buell fuel tank)

7, A mortar pod that fires forward to remove road obstacles up ahead.

8, Saddle mounted sidewinders

9, spikes on the wheel hub to slice car tyres

10, A Vertical Assisted Lift Off jet or something for instant wheelies at any speed

Me want flame pics

[esquire]

Thinking of putting one on my car. Only $100 and they look awesome.

[BigTim]

I can see you booting the fuck out of that spark plug and snapping it off within a month.

Please report to this thread, for further rice-ification.

[jonnyking]

HAHA SWEET! can wait to see working pics

[Havago]

Nice work Euk.
Cant wait to see it in action.

[foolishboy]

Gawd damnit Euk, I just ordered a flame thrower kit for my blade 2 days ago, now it should be easy to fit thanks to your awesome write up YaY!

[esquire]

Where did you get the kit from?

[Cam]

Thread is useless without action pics.

[Biggles]

haha, cool
