Ok, when i rode with my friend in his turboed crx we lifted the hood one time, and saw a Blazing Hot HF manifold?

I was like OMG, and just was thinking what would cause that?

RIPTING's Z6 Hhahahha MIKE!!

 

nice, i've seen a slight glow from the turbo and some of the manifold before but not bright and not the whole thing. sounds like his EGTs were a little high. whats his setup? timing?

 

Well it must not have been running right, i have no clue on the timing, ur saying that it was running rich??

 

that was happening to my car too...but i wa to amazed by the glowing light i saw through my grill.....i felt cool

 

Quite normal for the manifolds to glow a bit, they can even start glowing on unmodified N/A cars if you push them hard.

 

you got problems if your manifolds are glowing red hot. I would suggest improving the exhaust system (bigger, free flowing/dumping the cat).

timing? water pump?

need to fix that ---- before he ***** something up

 

My CAT was glowing sooo red...it was NA...kinda stock...lighter flywheel...chipped ecu

 

running to lean causing exhaust temps to rise or too rich causing fuel to actually ignite inside exhaust.

 

^^^^^^^^yup i had that my fmu was too rich and sometimes would shoot out a 5-6 foot fireball out the skunk2 exhaust with no catalatic converter that was badass i used it to scare old people. man i miss my old car

 

My D15b2's stock manifold was glowing like that after I sprayed it to 130mph, then the engine shut off. I went to reset the ECU and saw the manifold, it was almost see though, hehe. little D15 started back up and took another 3 more bottles off nitrous, until I swapped it out for a D16Z6.

My turbo set-up doesn't do that. My freinds 2G DSM would do that with the old T-25 after about 2 hard runs ( from a cold start ).
