Does your Evo shoot fire balls during daily driving??

Your incorrect sir, yes doing pulls sucks gas, if the car is tuned right daily driving shouldn't be an issue. In fact it shouldn't matter being if your not getting on it like an ******* every second of the day your car should infact drive just like a regular 4 banger. If your keeping your foot into it and being stupid, or driving in lower gears (third instead of fourth, fourth instead of fifth) then yes your correct. In fact my evo does infact get decent fuel milage. Being I am redoing a new map to keep my tq down sure I waste gas doing pulls, but in the end my driveability is very very good. In fact if I were to swap back over to pump gas instead of e85 I am sure I would get even better gas millage. Trust me I drive 2 hours a day sometimes 3 hours a day in my truck when I am at work and I do go through a tank everyother day or so, so I know what ****ty gas millage is. Hell my talon with a full blown motor, gt3076r with 1150's gave me in my last full tank of gas about 33 mph on pump gas. That car is way more modded them my evo and makes just as much power so I don't what your saying I'm sorry.
You said you wouldnt care to shoot flames because it is a waste of gas. Well doing WOT pulls is a waste of gas to, so what is the big deal? That is the point I am making. But I'm not going to argue with you and get off topic with the OP. Have a happy holidays man.

When I was on stock turbo my car started shooting flames very similar to a flame thrower during WOT. It wasnt a just short flame shot during shifting it was an actual flame about 2 feet long all throughout the pull in 3rd and 4th gear.
Later I found out that I had a bad boost leak through the fuel injector o-ring seals. I did not have a wideband at the time but I am assuming the flames were due to the car running super rich.
So I would assume, running really rich would cause you to shoot and or hold flames.

Thats all cool man. But if you do WOT pulls alot, that wastes alot of gas. Same when people go and try to shoot flames, wastes gas. Not as much as doing WOT pulls though. My Evo is modded pretty well, nothing major, but is def modded. I hardly ever mash the gas or do wot pulls and my gas mileage is far worse then any of my other cars that were bone stock. Lets take my Civic Si for instance. I kept it stock and drove normally and gas mileage was awesome. In my Evo, not so much. I am not incorrect in any way shape or form. Either way its not a big deal.

Not even close in comparison. The reason for your bad mileage in the evo might also be related to you running that hks bov vta.

I would get 21-22 MPG with the fireball mod lol. But I would set mine so that I had to go out of my way to hit that part of the map. Its fairly simple to do but I am afraid that its putting extra stress on my Turbo so I don't use it very often.

Might be bad for your rear bumper, but not your engine. Modded turbo cars do it all the time, even with good maps set up. If anything, running a test pipe is prob better because you don't have any restrictions through your exhaust. Just my two cents ;]

I know my car does it some times when you're really on it.
This happens sometimes on the overrun, skip to 25s or so if you're impatient.

I sure am comparing my SI to my Evo. A motor is a motor right? I just started using the HKS BOV, I have been on the IX DV. I am no newbie when it comes to motors, and how they operate modded or not. By the way, my HKS is recirculated, not VTA. Read what I posted, then try to comprehend it. If I am misunderstood, then oh well, I'll live.

so...much...hate.... why can't we all just get along? a guy does what he wants with his car. I liked my fireball when I had my evo, so what? More power to yah. If you don't like it, don't click on the link to the thread, simple as that. I don't see why people come in here an hate. It solves nothing.
