So I was wondering, what's the best way to break in a new motor as far as getting it tuned and making sure I don't mess up my new engine when I get this bobo car back?

Engine specs:

ACL bearings
Inline Pro rods
Pistons: I don't remember if they are CP but 11:1 stock compression.
ARP Head studs
Darton Sleeves
Supertech valve springs
Supertech titanium retainers
Valves are stock
Cams are stock


Clutch is the same CC twin disc with CC flywheel I had before

Turbo kit is same as before
Kings V2 sidewinder
Borgwarner S262 comp r ett
Tial 44mm wastegate
Tial 50mm BOV
2.5" IC pipes
Blah blah...all the other crap.

AEM v2
Flex fuel sensor add on
Fullblown complete fuel system
Dual hanger with 2x 340s

I was thinking of running 10psi low boost 15psi high boost. Then later getting the high switching to the higher boost setting I had before 22psi to max it out since I tried that once already in my previous build thread and maxed the turbo out.

 

Go Balls to the wall No really I would do what the shop that is doing the build tells you to do. The last build I did I had about 1000 miles I think before I could go wide open throttle on it.

 

Just dont beat the balls off it and you will be fine. Ive had some top tuners tell me the rings seat like 90% in the first 20 mins worth of run time. Everybodies got there own method but there definitely isnt x amount of miles you have to put on it. I finally got my built motor back in my car and ive been driving around about 600 miles mainly cause ive been waiting for some turbo parts or the damn thing woulda been boosted a while ago. Run it enough that you feel comfortable that the motors 100% with no leaks or burning any fluids. My .02

Last benson built block. We put on dyno tuner ran it for about 30mins. Few low rpm pulls then few up high. Drained oil and balls to the wall after that... never had a issue with that setup broke in two like that now. After I get the s2000 block built I will do the same on this one too.

50% throttle pulls x about ten, then drain break-in oil, and go for it. We use an engine dyno, not a chassis dyno.

 

Miguel what are you getting done on yours?

 

I break all of them in on the dyno. Takes hardly any time at all.

 

Nice well then since your tuning again the car will be broken in properly and tuned by you.

I bought new shortblock from InlinePro last winter, and put it together with newly built head. Broke it in on the dyno and tuned straight away. Everything worked perfect for me!
