laptopgeek,

I can make you one for around $30. Check out my flame kit project web page and you can make one yourself.

I have one built but haven't found the right nut to weld to the tailpipe for holding the plugs. I was hoping to have it installed this weekend, but plans have changed.

The only issue I haven't resolved is how to get enough fuel into the exhaust to ignite it. I'm thinking full choke might do it, but I haven't tested it yet.

One way to get an air/fuel mixture to the tailpipe... Rev it up and with the throttle still cracked, turn off the ignition. Hit the button for the afterburner(s) and before the engine dies, turn the ignition back on.

 

mcguyver,

I've been told that's also a good way to blow out valves and mufflers. For that method, you don't even need a spark plug.

Some of the more advanced "kits" available actually ground out a plug or two on the engine to allow unburnt gas into the exhaust. These kits also have a WOT (wide open throttle) sensor/switch wired in to prevent it from igniting at idle. It's basically a normally open momentary switch that gets activated by the throttle linkage. It's a good safety device to have on there.
