After a full rebuild, how long do I drive carefully for??? It's kinda frustrating, running T34, greens etc. and gotta drive everywhere real slow

 

usually about 1000 miles mate

 

When i got mine back off Carwise ,i was told to bring it back to get set up after 300 miles or so,i did that in 3 nights at .9bar of boost allong the A1 .
I was told to drive it and not piss about at low revs looking after it.
Got it set up on the saturday at 28psi and did Croft track day on the sunday have since done 2k miles including The Ring and donnington ,not missed a beat and have 4bar oil press on tick over and 7bar whilst driving

 

I've done about 250 miles now, really want to give it some stick, been so long without it!

 

Mine has just been rebuilt by Andy Fisher he told me to do 800-

1000 miles with no boost and he also did 5 oil changes the 1st

of which was done after 20 min

Will be worth the wait buddy! Who is mapping it for you?

 

I would agree with Carwise. Use mineral oil e.g.15W40 for the fist 3-400 miles. Use varying loads but do not exceed 5000 RPM. Then change the oil for for a high quality one, give the engine a quick check over and then enjoy...

 

It's on an off-the-shelf chip (think a Bayjoo one but can't remember, it went through a phase of incinerating it's loom and Ecu a while back and I'm not sure which chip it ended up with) with T34.63, greens etc., I can't afford to get it mapped right now anyway.

 

Holly shit mate thats some real high pressure, take it youv got a different pump?


I only have 4 bar when i start my car, and about the same when driving

not long after a rebuild too, never misses a beat, running low comp, greens , 500 cooler , t35, ect

 

think Niel only put a new standard item on mate
Who knows ,guages are VDO so not realy cheepos
