tridentt150v Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 just strapped in a hiflo by GCG, they don't work saturdays, my question is how long and how should I run it in???? Also checked my spark plugs, NGK R 8's, obviuosly a jap plug, look like platinum's, are they???? If they are then they don't need changing for years/many kilometres. Do they have an Aust. equivalent. I've been to the NGK au website and seen their recommendations etc, they don't list R 8's. Thanks for all info PS I don't need a diatribe on bcpr7es's etc, I have done a search and found the plug recommendations on SAU and can buy them at REPCO etc any time The NGK R 8's where all gapped to 0.08mm, which is correct for my car and mods.

BHDave Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 My mate just had his turbo rebuilt by GCG. They recommended 1500km at less than 10psi boost and not holding boost for too long. Also recommended disconnecting the bov too for some reason.

tridentt150v Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 Funny, I just got off the phone to 'em, and they said no running in required, its right to go..............as long as I'm not racing. I got nil instruction [running in] with the turbo when it returned. I did get instruction on changing the oil, coolant etc, but pretty basic really, no torque figures, no hints or assists. Absolutely nothing on on getting the car retuned or other mods that they recommend [adj cam wheel, power fc etc] to get the 'power' out of the hiflow. I could be driving a shitbox, they don't differentiate. But they were fast, less than a week turnaround.
