Allan-Herbie Report post Posted June 30, 2012 For some reason after changing my exhaust, my Diablo isnt shooting flames like I expected it to... After seeing how old the belts were on it that broke, I wanna go through and change some of the maintence items on the car.. What are the best plugs everyone uses? Anything else I should check for? How can I get it to shoot big flames like my other cars did? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chipster Report post Posted July 4, 2012 I think the plug suggestion is in the Diablo Parts list that is stickied in the Diablo section. I'm not sure on the flames though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlToro Report post Posted July 4, 2012 There's quite a bit of info on the plugs by searching. I just put in Denso IX27's all is good. As far as the flames? UGH! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

None modified cams, no ECU work etc is should not have any flames out the exhaust. For a stock car this would indicate that your car ECU tune, ignition, or timing etc is way off. Adding some straight cat delete pipes can give you a nice blue flame when you go of the throttle. My car is stock, and it does that when I run the straight pipes, but its "only" spitting a blue flame off the throttle on the over run or in between gears.

Dan C MORON Report post Posted July 5, 2012 Shoot mine shoots fire balls not flames! Bright orange the entire width of the car and about 3ft high due to straight pipes and tubi exhaust, nothing else. People get waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off your ass once one of those come out :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFilipinoStig Report post Posted July 12, 2012 That's pretty awesome some of you do your own work on the Diablo. I have absolutely zero experience working on cars, so I'd be scared shitless tearing apart a Diablo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve400S Report post Posted July 13, 2012 Allan, See what plugs you have in the car. The original plugs should be Champion A59GC. As recommended I replaced those with the NGK Iridium IX plugs and car runs fantastic! If you need the number I will check when I get in.
