Title: Kinda Cliche, but has anyone gotten their xr2 to backfire?
Post by: LGCapri on May 31, 2019, 05:45:59 PM

Mine does a little on decel between 2k and 1k, and I think its because the flange where the exhaust meets the cat has rusted away in a major way. It had me thinking, has anyone gotten their capri to backfire on purpose? Just a fun question

I'd imagine that opening up the exhaust and getting around to buying a rocketchip would increase my chances

The Capri doesn't really have a burble. The ECU actually completely cuts the fuel on decel. It reinstates a small amount of fuel as the RPMS drop past 2500 rpm so you'll get a little there.
Rocketchip does not change any of that.


Newer cars that burble or backfire - it's done on purpose with a special tune that throws fuel & plays with the timing to achieve that effect. The timing is mechanical on the Capri so you'd need a standalone to get what you really want out of it

Do they make standalones for the B6T?

Plug and play, no. But by virtue almost any standalone will run the B6T
