It’s important to keep in mind the reasons why regulating systems were installed in the first place. Excessive backfiring is very unhealthy for your vehicle, and can ultimately result in having to replace parts.

The location in which you do this must be open, and relatively free of things that might get caught by the flame. This includes anyone who may be watching. Keep that at a healthy distance– around 10 meters (33 ft) should be good.

Keep in mind ECU mods are often specific to certain models, so you might have to do some searching before you find one that suits yours.

Although the particulars will vary depending on the model of car and type of ECU kit, generally speaking, you will want to access the input and cut fuel intake at the RPM you’d like your car to pop at. If you’re using a Flash Tune Kit, for example, input the given RPM intake as the most negative integer the system will accept. Input these negative integers (e. g. -15 etc. ) to encompass the range of a couple hundred RPMs. This will essentially ’trick’ your engine into popping. Entering a number incorrectly could inadvertently destroy your car. It is not recommended you even consider doing this without some expertise in motorworks.
