Re:600 miles... is it ready for boost???
If I had to do anything different, I would have put the turbo on and drove to the dyno. Get it tuned right from the start and you won't have to be embarrased like me. :-[

Re:600 miles... is it ready for boost???
the way you are supposed to break in an engine is not by putting a zillion miles on it but by taking it to the limits right off.
Its more complicated than that and i had a link to a website about engine break in but basically what i did with my car was as soon as i got it up and running and warmed u; i took it out on a country road and ran it to redline with 4psi of boost in 2nd and third gear. What this does is it'll seat your rings faster and get them used to the punishment they'll take. Otherwise when you take a trillion miles to break in a motor your rings take longer to seat and all the other mess in your motor isn't used to punishment yet. and pretty much if your motor can handle that then it'll handle anything. if its going to develop any problems its going to do them right then (like when i spun a bearing in < 20 miles on my last motor) not 60000 miles later. also make sure your ---- is tuned; too lean or too rich and you'll ---- something up. I had trouble with the wiring in this motor and the computer kept dumping in fuel and washing down the clinders. my rings were wore before i even had teh car running. It's showing it now with some ugly blowby at 12psi. Good thing i planned on some vitara pistons with new rings anyway :p |
Re:600 miles... is it ready for boost???
man i redline my ---- once it warmed up..
did what the motorcycle guy said..(some of u should remember) drove it for like 20 minutes. changed the oil and there are TONS of metal powder kinda ---- in the oil. i had it boosted after like 20000 miles (out of $$) of N/A redline abuse. runs like a champ now but yet i don`t have balls to a compression check. :-X BTW, i`d repalce the IM gasket anyway. :P |
Re:600 miles... is it ready for boost???
ya, just redline your ---- right away, I wonder why all your motors are blowing up?
