    Default What's up with this RX-7?

    I have seen a lot of RX-7s shoot flames, but why is this one backfiring like so harshly? It sounds like an anti-lag system...but I have never heard of RX-7s having that. Im pretty sure it has something to do with its rotary engine...

    Yes, it's an anti-lag setup causing that.

    well most turbo cars do some sort of flame shooting when they have after market exhaust. my eclipse did it, my buddies fd rx-7 does it, and my buddies r33 does. its just what they do.

    Yeah that just seems like a poorly managed anti-lag system. It should cause it to run rich but not THAT rich. Shiiiiiiit.
