have you ever tried...

[dub88acc]

is it true that when you drive, lets say on any gear and rev all the way to 4500-5000 rpm then you switch of the car and switch the key back on that it makes a loud popping sound?? i tried when i was 3rd gear but the sound was minor.but it sounded cool :rofl: As anyone tried this?just wanna know

[Dennis]

uh my friend wanted me to do that once but i didn't, plus my honda isn't a 5spd so it'll be hard to get it up to 4,500 and keep it there. but i think it's bad to turn you car off and back on while driving...? :ugh:

[Morpheus]

whats the point?

[Dennis]

to make a loud boom. :dunno: does it hurt your car?

[dub88acc]

well itried it a couple of times and it did not do anything to my car

The "boom" you hear is caused by unignited fuel in the exhaust system. But, on a fuel-injected engine the fuel is cut off when you turn off the ignition = almost no fuel goes to waste in the exhaust. On an carburetted engine, do this:
1. Rev it to 3000 rpm, keep it in gear
2. Turn off the ignition, and give it full throttle for 1 second
3. Release the throttle and turn on the ignition
4. Enjoy the loud "boom" that blows a hole the size of your fist in the muffler

thanx for the advice, i guess it does mess ur car

[HondaBoy]

oooh, i want a hole in my muffler. maybe that will give it that wide open performance! lol. isnt that called a back fire?

[blazin3gen]

lol gayest idea eva (no offense) lol :D

[Oyvind Ryeng]

Well, if you just pump a little fuel into the exhaust it will give less damage. Fuel in Norway costs $1,30 per litre (highoctane w/o lead, your "92"), so we do not waste fuel in such a way... ;)

wow and i thought our gas prices were high :dunno:

[Oyvind Ryeng]

Haha, you don't know the meaning of the word "expensive"! Fuel is practically free in America!

Yeah, it does mess up the car. Keep it up and eventually you're gonna have to post a "what could be wrong with my car?" thread one of these days. :D

lol gayest idea eva (no offense) lol :D
Agreed.
Carbed cars will do it 100 times easier than EFI. My friend did it all the time in his old Dart, and yes he did blow a hole in the muffler. Not really a hole, more like a rip down the side at the weld. And that car still ran 5 years later. I don't reccomend doing it to a Honda, there is a lot of things that can go wrong. He did it with a slant six, witch is more durable than the A20.

Uh I tried it on the way home from the dr. I was only going like 50 @ 3,000 and it didn't pop. My whole car shook though so I only did it once. I don't have to worry about a hole in my muffler as I don't have one. I wish I did though my car is loud as fuck and it sucks. :crying:
