In a few ill be driving my S2K from CT to NJ... about 2hrs and 30mins +/- from home without hood

Already looked in to laws about hoods and isn't illegal to drive without hood as long as your fans are covered...


anything I should be aware of?

I should be good right?

 

the only problem i would forsee is maybe if it rained or some kind of road debris entered the engin compartment

 

I drove without a hood once on my old civic for less then 30min and blew a radiator hose and it sprayed everywhere and I couldnt see out the windsheild for a second and almost crashed. Be careful

 

I have done it for plenty of test drives. Usually 15 mins and never a problem.

 

shouldnt be a problem.

just have common sense about securing things that are loose and of course have the air filter on

 

Just drove there and back... was raining a lil bit almost spray because it was so thin... but I stope at a gas station till it stopped just to be safe... s2k engines are expensive hahah

 

im also a psychic

 

Expect 10-15hp if you got k&n intake.

 

that sounds a bit high from just removing the hood lol..

 

I did it for a couple days straight. I got a lot of ppl looking at me like I was crazy lol.

You hear the valves a lot better too.
