Run in. Talk to your builder?

[BOS-GTR]

I brought it built.

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.

I've noticed pics of your car popping up all over Facebook recently. Looks good mate.

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.

Get afm's (nismo 65mm are the go) and a PFC, Nistune, whatever your tuner is most comfortable with.

Sill doing all the other stuff and not doing these two things.

[BOS-GTR]

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.

[MrStabby]

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

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.

[BOS-GTR]

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

[BOS-GTR]

What mods have you done to urs...

What power you making?

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.

[Ben C34]

I'll add my bit.

I wouldn't use synthetic until it is run in,it's really important to bed the rings in.

Cut open oil filter on first change and inspect it.

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.

[BOS-GTR]

On it's way for the motor to go in ))))

[rat32r]

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.

[BOS-GTR]

#@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
