would it be <U>safe</U> for me and my engine wise (dohc jdm zc) to have it running with no exhaust manifold for like a week, going like about 80miles to and from work??

 

you'll **** up the valves....i would just wait until you get some back pressure. But that's just me.

 

actually sorry i ment with no downpipe, my fault....

 

hmmm well it doesn't make that much of difference but if you absolutley need to drive it. No more then 5 days...then get the exhaust back on. shouldn't be that bad i guess. not a grand idea though.

 

gonna be friggin loud as heck with no down pipe. people will wonder where the tow truck is coming from and then be baffled when a little crx flys by.

 

Man that thing is going to be so freaking loud!!

 

do not take it anywhere even close to red-line

 

I did that for like 2 days after my b16swap, until the shop could get me in for the custom pipes. I dont think it hurt anything, but i pulled over twice for it.

 

i was messin around with my downpipe and kinda got it in there, you think it would fit? (comes kinda close there) .

i found this bolt on the block, that i think if i take it off will give me that inch or two i need to have it bolted on, what do you think?
(bolt, shitt pic sry)



so you think this will work????

Edit: oh yeah i just looked at my "cambelt?" (idk if thats the name my dad said it was) and its kinda torn. theres some rips on it, you think it will hold for those 5days?

 

maybe...maybe not.... ??

 

cambelt...sounds like a timing belt.

prolly dont wanna be driving around if thats torn up. if it breaks, your car is not goin anywhere. (except on a towtruck).

get a new one, it couldnt hurt anything.

 

If you timming belt is torn think about this way.. Would you rather spend $80 on a new timming belt now or have the chance of it breaking and you then and up buying new valves to go along with the belt.

 

well i attend to buy a new timing belt by like saturday or so, but back to the main question you think i would be able to get that on?, i dont want to try and end up breakin something

 

HAHA, I had to drive my car like that for about 50 miles from DNR's shop in Hayward... I have a B18 and it sounded like a Harley or something. I wouldn't drive it like that for too long.

 

ok...number 6

 

nobody...so i should just try and either **** up or not??

 

Honestly, I would not attempt it man.

BUMP for any other input.
