Well, I picked up my new DA from Florida and when I got back home I noticed that I didnt have an air filter( I was wondering why it sounded so damn good) well, my question is what should I do to make sure I didnt damage anything internally, the car still runs great, doesnt smoke or anything. I was thinking of maybe Sea Foamin the the thing and changing the oil afterwards to make sure everything is clean in there.BTW, i gota an air filter now..haha.

 

Why not just give it a compression test?

 

Im doing that tomorrow. As well as putting in that GM syncromesh for my tranny(im getting a bad grind in 3rd) and a new wheel bearing and a bunch of other stuff hopefully.

 

step1. Clean out the intake arm with water then dry it off
step2. Put on a filter
step3. think to your self "everything is fine"

repeat step 3 until you feel better.

and if that doesn't work take it into a shop and spend 90$ for a compression test p.s ever think about the people that run an open header?

 

ok, worst case scenario, whats the worse that could happen? Right now the car runs excellent. Nothing wrong except the existing codes my ECU was throwing cuz the shitty wiring job, but thats it.

 

Honestly, I wouldn't think that anything would be wrong. I've ran cars filterless for extended periods of time before and had no issues at all. My best friend is running a filterless ITB setup right now and hasno issues as all.

 

well, turns out it was ok. I dropped a filter in and cleaned out the intake mani. That intake cleaner made my car run shitty for like 10mins but I ran the hell out of it and smoke blew everywhere....haha. fun stuff. It runs great now, no more annoying chirp. I took the resonator out of the stock air box so it sounds a little more gruntier(not a word, I made it up!!) anywayz peace out.

 

chills at least everything is fine
