just curious. I want to know if its safe to run the n20 if i have a bolt on each side broken off flush with the heads. The headers are on there tight which makes me wonder if Ill even have an exhaust leak. Since the bolts are in there wouldnt they be blocking the passage of the exhaust fuems...which would then in turn eliminate most of an exhaust leak? Think itll be alright.

 

HELL NO

go ahead and get that bolt fixed and then shoot the car so that nothing can happen

 

Well, whats the worse that could happen, have a bigger exhuast leak on nitrous then n/a.

 

its not safe to do anything with broken header bolts

 

Why is that?

 

Yeah and.......? I didnt see any broken header bolts on his car but maybe I just looked past them.

 

That was a spark plug dude. The failure was caused from the excessive cylinder pressure of the blower pushing 90,000psi, but the intercooler gave out and the fuel injected brake lines decided to push through the muffler bearing inserts. Remember, too much nitrous will make your floor panel fly off and can blow the welds on the intake, and automatic Chargers have AT LEAST 8 gears.

 

AKA-broken header bolts will cause an exhaust leak which you can detect by a ticking sound...it doesnt effect performance or damage anything that i know of. The exhuast leak will get worse the longer you drive on the car. Does this sound about right?

 

I would say get the header bolts fixed. You might not hurt anything running the nitrous but since they are broke off it can't be doing you any good either. Better to be safe than sorry if something major would happen when you could have just fixed the head bolts.

 

its fine. you don't have to worry about it. all you will have is a small leak. you can fix that bolt yourself if you have the right tools...a set of those 'screw-out' drill bits will do it. you might as well cuz its so easy...

and he didn't have nos on the charger you idiot...he didn't need it. that was all motor. didn't you hear diesel say "900 horses"?

 

Well I thought about it and if there is an exhuast leak you would end up running rich. Mainly because your losing exhaust fumes out the header which would cause the 02 sensors to read lean then sending the message to the fuel injectors to put more fuel into the engine thus causing the car to then run rich....which in turn is good for nitrous. Where as lean is what to be cautious of.

 

that may be the case where running rich is better for nitrous, but while running with a small exhaust leak can't hurt you, you will lose some sound quality and an unnoticable amount of performance, so you might as well drill it out yourself and put a new one in like i mentioned above- it will take a maximum of an hour with the right tools...

Well one. I dont have the tools most likely. Two. Wouldnt I have to remove the heads to drill the broken bolts out?

 

nope not if you got the right drill. like an angle drill.
