Running In An Engine...

[GTR_NUTZ]

hey all

I am currently getting my engine rebuilt. well its been off the road for about 7 months now, and i "should" be getting it back next month. and i have a few quick questions regarding the "run in" period....

should i run in my engine for the first 1000Ks and THEN get it tuned? OR should i get it tuned first and THEN run it in?

I have an Apexi ecu to go in for when i get it tuned.

i have forged internals now - - as well as some other cool nick-nacks.

...OR should i do half and half - run it in for 500Ks and get it tuned then do the other 500Ks???

what do you all think?

thanks

personally i think run it in for the first 1000k's, and then get it tuned, just remember not to give it to much lol. i knew this guy who bought a 150hp mercury for his boat brand new hooked her all up an gave it full throttle on it's first ever fun an u can imagin wat may of happened, 5000 dollars later he decided to do the rite thing an run it in as ur supposed to.

but yea 1000k's isnt much really i do that in about 3-4days, just make sure everything is running correctly.

make sure you dont boost it at all and keep it under 3-4000 rpm.

when you're taking off try to accelerate quick, but keep it under 3000rpm. this will throw your rings out and help with the bedding in process.

use a mineral based oil.

I get my GTR back next week and have been instructed to run it in for 1000kms. I can take it up to 5000rpm max. It will then get an oil change and full tune up.....

I'll be driving everywhere for the first week to run it in.

Don't Hesitate...................Take it to your Local Dynotuner now & tell him its a fresh newly built motor

he can just about run it in for you there & then! they will keep the revs down & boost down but can load it up more in 45 Mins than you can in 1,000 k's of street driving.

then just up the rpms & boost every 100k's after that & it'll be run in, in a week!!

the worst thing you can do to a new engine is Pussy it!!!

this is my opinion only of course & i'm sure if you speak to HP engine builders they will agree!
