Break in N/A boost later?
 
I am building a D16Z6. SRP stock compression pistons, 75.25mm bore, eagle rods, acl bearings, arp headstuds, BLah blaH you know the drill. I am building this motor for boost but my question is, can i put the motor in my car and run it N/A on a stock Z6 ecu and then boost it later?

if it's stock compression yes.
just make sure if you running bigger injectors you tune for them

to clarify, always break in your motor before you boost it. lay off the crack zroo

I break in my motors boosted, but it's a careful tuenaring procedure.

On Trav-ASS' RLZ built 2.0/VTEC, I had her @ 6 psi until 25 miles, then 18 psi by 75. Perfect compression.

i wouldnt break her in with a turbo
its easier to find out where that blue smoke is coming from

Magic blue smoke comes from burnt electronics. O0

i always heard you break the motors in how their going to be driven, with boost obviously. Ive always broke my engines in with boost, 10psi for 200miles or so, then crank her up!

if you break it in on boost, isnt there a better chance your rings will not seat correctly or a possibility in general of having ring problems of any form?

i would think breaking a motor in with how honda recommends would be the best way, and honda doesnt boost there car motors, so i would think NA would be best.

Well, seeing as how it is combustion pressure that forces the rings out against the bore, and causes them to seat...

seems to me that if you are building your motor properly and allowing clearances for a turbo motor i.e. ring gap and piston to wall clearance its would make sense to break it in boosted because, only boost will seat the rings correctly

389whp later is what he meant

I break mine in with turbo, it's a waste of time to assemble an engine and put it in the car just to take the system apart afterwards to put a turbo on it.
It only takes a couple of hours to get drivable base maps, and that is if you're starting from scratch.
