Cecil Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 Has anybody got one? If so does it work? I have fitted one today seems to be fitted correctly and worked twice with huge flames but now can't get it to light at all Any ideas appreciated Simon
The Daddy Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 is it sparking ok??? where is the plug fitted and do you have any cats??
Cecil Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 Yes spark plug is sparking constantly and can see spark clearly in the middle of the pipe. And have got a full hks system with a silent hi power back box, i thought it may be something to do with this as the back box is quite thick with two layers of steel but have drilled through both and as i said it has worked twice so don't think it can be this. In the middle of my exhaust there is a thicker part which looks like a cat but was told that both cats were gone and that it would not pass an mot. And your little picture makes me very sad!!!
Cecil Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 and plug is in tailpipe right next to the backbox
The Daddy Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 how are you trying to get it to flame? i find mine works best if the engine is warm and i rev with full throttle between 4500-6500rpm........ they work better under load , ie 3rd gera up a hill, full boost then let off.......or 5th full boost then let off..... if you have a cat then it wont work aswell..... experimentation is the key..
Cecil Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 Much appreciated, If my exhaust is a full hks is it likely to have a cat? How long can you leave yours on for and on the way home tried loads of things but will keep on trying!!!
The Daddy Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 it may have sports cat, but prob not, just a resonator box.... mine stays on for up to 3 hours at a time...... deff try it under load up a fast steep hill, like detling....
The Daddy Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 oh and the slower the gear change the better.....
Cecil Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 The instuctions with mine say only leave it on for 5 minutes do i have a bad one?
Cecil Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 No i saw a link on here for CONSTELLA who seem good guys!
The Daddy Posted October 27, 2005 Posted October 27, 2005 oh...never heard of them..... mine came from st albans car clinic, i have fitted lots of these and never had a problem....... can you pm me a pic so i can see?
Cecil Posted October 27, 2005 Author Posted October 27, 2005 Pic of what? The kit is on constella.co.uk £60 comes with coil pack, spark plug, ht lead, switch and wiring The plug was a single prong one which i swapped for a double one i presume the type of plug does'nt matter a spark is a spark ain't it? Where is your plug in the exhaust?
