I only buy new cars so I don't ever have to lose sleep over what was done with "my" car before I bought it.

Nice numbers Rob!!1 Glad to see that FIPK I installed is working for you...... After all you did get a hell of a deal on it.
BTW guys I never stated I got some incredible numbers. I just wanted to post the exact condition the car was in when it was dynoed. This gives a reference point to others that have the same year car.

[QUOTE=villain2000,Feb 11 2007, 06:52 PM] Me, too. Havent bought used since 98. It always amazes me how people seem to think they know more than Honda Engineers when it comes to break-in procedures. If it didnt matter, why do they make a point of putting it in print?

If the ECU can be programmed to not allow you to VTEC before the engine is properly warmed up then "Honda Engineering" could certainly make it so that you wouldn't have the option of not following the "break-in" procedure and they'd probably have a tattle tale programmed as well if you didn't follow the rules. I have to agree with a previous post that it is more about becoming acclimated to the vehicle more than an engine longevity issue.

I also agree that the break in is for the clutch, brakes, and other things in the driveline not the engine. What I do is: I don't do crazy shifts or extreme braking during the first 2-300 miles or so. Thats more than enough time for things to get seated properly.

I can't believe an intake/exhaust would make much difference on such a factory tuned car. Is this what others get? Is the car underrated from the factory?
