This weekend I have a fresh rebuilt rb26dett going in bit of work -5 turbos injectors ful hks exhaust and dumps n1 pump oil water ect I blow my old one and decided just to buy a nother one then to build, this motor has not been started used or after rebuild the motor had 60xxx on it before the build.

Once the new motors in everything's al done fluids ect am I able to start the car and drive it, or does it hav to have a run in tube before u can drive it and shit.

Advice needed, tips best way to run it in my self with out f@&king anythkng up

Cheers guys

All engines have to be run in to bed the rings in. If you don't do it properly they might never seal correctly.

Google how to run in a new engine, be amazed there's heaps of ways and no one agrees.

are you running stock ECUs? plan on getting a tune?

stock camshafts? stock pistons/compression?

Personally, I would let engine builder start up first time. Could pressure feed oil, start it up and run for 10-20mins to bed cams in (if new). From then, you know it runs, doesnt leak any fluids and won't go clunk 200m down the road. From there, its up to you how you run everything in.

Ye I got the afm's. Stock ecu ATM

The car has made me broke lol :)

Aftermarket ecu wil come in a few week along with a run in tune and after 1000ks or so a power tune.

What I need to know is once the new engine is in can I drive it til I can afford the tune and ecu ( sensibly )

And if anyone knows the best way to for me to run it in in details please.

Stock ECU means you'll have to use stock injectors and stock MAFs, so keep the boost down very low. The injectors will max out at around 280awkw, but it depends on how dirty they are. No idea what boost that would be on -5s, but probably something like 5psi.

There's many threads about how to run in engine here, so search and you will find. From what i remember, use a cheap/basic dino oil and dont baby it. You probably keep the oil for around 1000kms, then change it out to something good - with filter change.

LOL! It's the fun of it :laugh:

How much power you aiming for?

I probably wouldn't drive it until the ECU is here.

If your not sure how to run it in, just take it to your mechanic, do it once, do it right.

This. Or if you have some way to monitor Air/Fuel ratio. You spend all this money on an engine, the last thing you want to do is damage it. Little things can throw the stock ECU out of whack completely.

as far as run-in goes... I can vouch (but am open to other ideas):

For first start up - Cheap full synthetic oil, magnetic sump plug, new oil filter.

(If with new ECU) Get run-in tune ASAP - car will see boost on the dyno, keep it on the rich side, tuner should keep it running/driving on dyno till you can feel it bed in and AFR is fairly steady/predictable.

0-500kms on street - drive gently-ish, no issues with some boost every so often.

500-1000kms - drop oil, put another fully synthetic, check sump plug for noticeable chunks, new oil filter.

Then final tune.

Aiming for 300 320awkw il be wrapped with for a few months

Hah! Yeah, when the power addiction kicks in!

What mods have you done to urs...

What power you making?

Full rebuilt, Garrett -7's and just the usual, exhaust, air intake etc.

300+ rwkW's.

My two cents

Penrite run in oil

Run for 20 minutes varying revs around 2k

Dump oil and cut open filter and inspect. If all good put new filter and run in oil for 500kms don't thrash it but don't drive like a grandma.

Dump oil and change filter.

Put into your full syn oil, filter and go nuts.

#@RatR32 - that can be done with the stock ecu and with out a tune?

My mates putting my motor in his a good mechanic, just thought I'd get some advice/options from others with rb26's..

I ownd a s15 project for 6yrs knew the works about them could pull it apart and bak in a day lol

I sold it and got the Gtr not doin my research and bang 2nd drive blew the motor.

Cbf doing the overtime to save for a nother engine :(

Cheers :)

    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new  
    • Nissan needs to forget about building SUVs in every size possible and bring back the damn Silvia/200sx duo to compete with the 86/brz. Maybe with the Honda type r motor pointing the right way
    • Good to see you followed your heart, got your dream car and have it pretty well sorted out now. I think anyone can get caught out with a seller not being 100% honest about a cars problems. Can relate to all the electrical issues, had similar issues with my first car (mk2 escort) ages ago
    • I just bought the Nexus S3 for my gtt, haven’t installed it yet as I’m collecting parts to do everything at once…so far spent $14,000 The Nexus is nearly future proof
