i wanna burn some tires up

[blackhoss89]

my buddy has a cherokee and the other day when leaving work he sat and just burnt his tires up, as far as i know its stock,what would it take to make my bohemeth do it.any performance parts would be great. thanx >

Plenty of money to pay for the rear brakes and tires all the time...

 

[ilystbronco]

i have wondered how i can power brake mine to burn up my tires as well because mine is a 5 speed and has a clutch, so how the **** do i do a stand still burn out? and for blackhoss89- you can always get some sich detergent and put it on ur rear tires, lol

Well, and I qualify this with a disapproving shake of my head (but hey it's not my truck and who am I to control the flow of information ?), the cheapest & easiest way will be to install a line-lock. That will allow a reasonable smoke show w/o destroying your rear brakes. Gotta say that while I know for sure that it works fine in a Mustang, Monte Carlo or Charger you may run into problems with a Bronco. First off there's a chance that you'll just push it along even with the front brakes locked (I doubt it actually would but I've never tried it personally w/a truck so I'm just throwing it out there as a concern) but if you've got a standard you can always just dump the clutch and once the rears lose traction & start spinning they won't have the juice to push it around (or shouldn't anyways). Also, if you're running larger tires be aware (very aware) that the increased distance from the ground to the center of the axle shaft created by the taller sidewall makes for a much larger lever affect on the rear end and you may experience some viscious wheel-hop on pavement (this I *have* seen personally)

If the line-lock doesn't work (and really, it should) then you'll just have to run with the old-fashioned tried & true methods. See if you can smoke'em just by dumping the clutch (50/50 shot there I'd say). If not then the you'll have to look to some sort of power-adder. An intake, cam & headers would be my choice but it may be more time & $$$ than you want to invest. I sure wouldn't do it with my *own* personal ride but a 50hp nitros (and yes kids it's pronounced nitros *not* noss, shaking my head once again) would certainly achieve the same effect while also being pretty cheap & easy to plumb (*IF* I were doing something so foolish myself I would drop the coin on something electronic to manage the spark & fuel pressure as well as an aux. fuel pump & larger injectors so as to not run so lean you only do ONE show)

So there you have it, Dave's recipe for a smoke show. If you have the space at work doughnuts have always been my show of choice but the short wheelbase may make it difficult in a stocker but if you have a decent hill nearby I've always been a big fan of the J-hook. I sure hope nobody I know reads this post (just more evidence of a mis-spent youth) and if anybody asks tell them BroncoBob told you how to do it (really, Please. better yet say it was some guy named Bidi)

Also, for the previous poster. Don't use detergent. Just buy a spool of vacuum hose & reroute the output from your wiper-washer to the rear tires and refill it with a 50/50 water & bleach solution. I *promise* they'll smoke. What the **** are Voke schools teaching these days ? And don't any of your high schools have auto shop anymore ?

And while you guys are at it you might as well go all the way. Run your carb as rich as you can & thread a couple old sparkplugs into the exhaust 8" or so up from the end. Run a hot wire to the plugs & break it with a switch in the cab. Just like before, tell'em Bidi told you how to do it.

Hold the brake with your right heal and the gas with your right toe and dump the clutch. After it get's going sometimes it'll stay relitivly still with no brake. If you're realy wanting to burn the tires and your truck isn't letting you, you may want to do a complete tune up to the engine. I've never had a problem doing a power brake but I don't recomend it. I used to do it when I first got my Bronco but realized the price of tires the mileage you take from the tread. Also, if you want to spend the effort you can put a valve on the front brake lines that will allow you to hit the brakes, hit that valve and when you release the brake it'll hold on the front only. Then you simply mash the gas and watch the smoke. Chances are though that you'll only get one tire going unless you make a "slip" spot for both tires to start with. Also, you can get some window sprayers and motor and resivor and put the sprayers infront of your rear tires with a switch to activate it (just like the windshield washer things) and put a concentrate of bleach/water in it and spray a bit on the spot, hit the gas and keep spraying it. Now with all this being said I'll also say this: "These recomendations are for OFF ROAD USE ONLY! I can't be responsible for tickets you may get." Hope this helps a little. Enjoy...

 

[bidibronco]

Oh yeah, also: "I'm not responsible for broken parts, worn out tires or brakes or annoyed neighbors!" Glad I didn't forget that, you may not have ever gotten this done then... Couldn't resist!

"and yes kids it's pronounced nitros *not* noss, shaking my head once again"

You dont know what this means to me... I am literally crying laughing so hard right now... I run a parts department in a Honda dealership and here these knuckleheads coming in talking about their "NOSS" setups and i cringe every time I hear it. I am with you man, say it right or sound stupid saying it wrong..... Thanks for the laughs, I needed it this morning... By the way, my two cents, I still have the vacuum tube washer pump setup in my 61 Ranchero that I put in back in the early 90's when I was trying to impress my buddies with smoke shows... This does work but I doubt I would try it with large tires....

Best of luck and take pics to post when you do smoke the tires and any carnage that might follow...

 

[blackhoss89]

cool guys thanx , sorry to all who replyed with dump the clutch its an auto. but the water bleach sounds good ,i have tried to power break it and well..... it does push the front, oh and what type of things should i do to tune up the engin cuz ive done wires plugs and cap but not within the last 6 months, oh and its almost time for new rubber ne ways /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

FYI dumping the clutch or a netural drop is a bad idear in a 6,000lb truck wit an 8.8inch rearend.....trustme i know don't ask......unless u like the spyder gears to find their way into the ring and pinion h34r: /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" />

also get rid of those 33's for smaller tires and it should light them up

Oh jeez, my bad I wasn't even looking at your tag. Forget it Chief. You're just flat out NOT going to light up 33's w/a stock engine & C6. Not gonna happen, no way, no how. Buy yourself a cheap set of 29's and you can maybe pull a rabbit out of your a$$ but not w/33's. To *begin* with you gear ratio is SOOOOO far away from being what you need to spin them on pavement that I won't even get into it and then add to that the size of the contact patch that 33x12.5's give you and you can just kiss this one goodbye. I can tell you with absolute certainty that there's nothing short of a 460 or a 150hp nitros shot ( *noss* for those who missed my earlier post. N02 is not NOS, that's a 2 guys & girls not an "s", learn not to embarass yourselvs). Really man, you're not pulling this one off unless you're about to swap the motor *anyways* and just want to ***** around and spray parts all over the parking lot (which is always a lot of fun but usually even more fun with someone *elses* ride). I've been there and admit to having done it, it's fun to see just what it takes to throw a piston thru the hood but that's about what it will take to smoke a set of 33's. I'm not looking to harsh your buzz but it takes big boy torque to smoke 33's even WITH a bleach/water spray. Your buddy with the Cherokee wasn't running 33's I can tell you that much. You can still do it but you'll have to get yourself a set of cheapo 29's to do it with, call a boneyard they'll have a set you can buy *with* rims for less than $150 and you can smoke them till they're bologna skins if you want but I absolutely guarantee that trying to spin & smoke 33's is a really bad idea in a stock Bronco, even IF you manage to do it the wheel-hop alone will probably send the truck off to one side and the axle off to the other. If you REALLY need to do this then please keep my address and give me a shout afterwards because I'm looking for a parts truck.

Oh Wow man, you have my utmost admiration. Going to Iraq is one thing and bull$hit aside my hat's off to you but working at an import dealership ? I just couldn't do it, I know I wouldn't last a week without jumping the counter to throttle some pinhead on the other side. My blood pressure gets out of whack just listening to my oldest son & his idiot friends play their racing video games. With 3 kids out of diapers & one getting ready to drive I thought *I* had this tolerance thing down pat, but you my friend must have the patience of a Saint. I'm man enough to admit right now that I just flat out couldn't do what you do, it just takes big brass jungle coconut balls that I don't have. 12 years as a Police Officer & 10yrs as a commercial diver and I thought I could handle anything but these kids with their "Noss" and those stupid spinning rims just send me off the deep end, will someone PLEASE tell me what the purpose is of putting 22" rims on a caprice ? The freaking things look like there should be a team of horses pulling them. I get so worked up on weekend nights that the wife (God bless her) just buys me some beer & sends me out to the garage to fix something that she broke on purpose.

 

[mbtech2003]

just wanted to add that after the cam swap i did i can light up the rear tires doing a "brake stand" and for some odd reason it does spin both rear tires even with an open diff /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20" /> ya im confused at why it does it too. but i havnt done one in a while because thats y i broke my rear driveshaft.....damn wheel hopp was too much for those napa u-joints I installed.

 

[blackhoss89]

hey i got the 33s to spin, bleach and water worked and no broken parts ...yet

 

[bidibronco]

Oh yeah! Well I got 33's to spin on DRY assfault! Maybe it was the intake... or cam... or rebuilt engine? Who knows? Sorry, I'm in a goofy mood... ENJOY!

Thanks for the props and believe me, it wasnt my first pick but the company I work for had this opening in the town I work in and promoted me to this store. I have been in the auto industry for 14 years now, the first 4 at a carquest franchise and the last ten at dealerships. The majority of the time I have been in Dodge/Jeep dealerships and loved it, but the oppurtunity came at the Honda store and I took it, three years later, I am still here and thankful that I have an office with a door that I can close when the dorks with the coffee can exhaust come in asking about their go fast junk for their Civic. Dont get me wrong, I LIKE selling them stuff for their cars, it puts food on the table, i just cant handle their B.S. It sure was easier talking to the guys with the Cummins Rams wanting their tuners and air intakes and exhaust to make their truck pull their 30ft toy hauler that weighs 500 tons through the mountains at 80mph than it is about these kids with their mini-me converted B18C1 with NOSS.... I have NO idea what they said but the last part just ****** me off......\

I can relate with the wife being so nice as to take your mind off of the situations like that, mine does the same. The kids a couple doors down have their riced out Civics and keep coming to me for help and she now runs blocker for me on a regular basis. If I am in the garage working on something and they come up, she usually comes out within minutes and says "ok, we are ready to go, are you?" This saves me so much, mostly we will just go get a coffee and get out of the house for an hour or so but it is all I need to get away....

By the way, just so you all know, I dont own a single Honda, only my 89 Bronco, 95 Grand Cherokee and my 61 Falcon Ranchero and everyone that knows me gives me crap that I have the biggest car parked around our dealership (which is true but it is still smaller than the 94 F350 crew cab 4x4 long bed with 6" lift and 35's I drove for the last couple of years).

 

[broncodriver33]

i owned an 86 full size at one time with 30" tires and 3.55's in the rear. and i was able to have smoke pour off my tires. by doing a break torque. all i had done to it was headers and dual exhaust no cats. taylor wires and k and n air filter.

 

[2NDTOUR89]

When I first got my ride back on the road, I was able to have smoke rolling from all 4 tires when I hit the loud pedal... Or was it the smoke rolling off my exhaust from the oil pan leak, I am not sure but there was smoke and I do have tires...
