hi there people.... could do with some good advice

just rebuilt my s2 erst

rebore 0.5 oversized mahle pistons
crank was polished new shells
stage 2 head
and a new stage 2 t3 from cr turbos

so basically ive got gotech engine managment and the engine is going back in the car next week.

im a bit confused on what to do next as its basically a brand new engine do i take it straight to the rollers (jamsport) and get it setup or do i run the engine in for a bit

im scared that if i take it up to them to get it remapped before running it in and they ragg it that it will blow straight away help please

i dont think you need to worry about jamsport mate,

I'd run it in before I got it setup, until the piston rings bed in your compression will be down slightly! If you have it setup now and the the compression raises after the rings bed in you might get detonation and ruin those nice new shiny pistons and or your new head.
I dont know how likely this is but just a thought mate....

how many miles should i run it in for before i go and get it setup???

also theres a new stage 2 t3 goin on the car

1000 miles mate, you are in good hands with jamsport

nickrsturbo1990

so should i run it in for a 1000 miles before taking it to jamsport to get setup?

Yes mate, just get some miles on it. Dont go over 3k and warm it up and let it cool down well. then you will be ready for it to be setup,

Do 500miles, change oil & filter, same again @ 1000, when you get to 1500 drop the oil & filter out again then put some top quality lube in there then get it setup. Just take it very steady and dont take the revs above 3-3.5k if you can help it.

Yes mate

ive gt silkolene pro s ready to go in after its been run in

but bin told to run it in on millers running in oil 10w 40 ??

B16CVH

Yes that is what i always use, never had a problem at all, its good stuff (millers). Never use anything more than mineral while running-in as you will prevent the rings etc bedding i and your engine will never perform as it should. (blowby/oil consuption)

nickrsturbo1990

ok thanks for the help guys really ppreciate it

but just clarify drive under 3k for 500 miles on millers oil and then change the filoter and oil.

and then do the same for another 500 on millers change the oil and filter

and then would it be ready for a setup in jamsport after a 1000 miles

ive also chanhged the turbo to a stage 2 t3 will this effect the running in?

B16CVH

Yes, some people say setup @ 1000 miles but i have always let it run for another 500 miles to 1.5k,always think its worth it having shelled out for a new engine.

nickrsturbo1990

oh ye definately...... is it safe to drive the car tho because the fuel mix will be all wrong on my car now as it was overfuelling before it blew.... thats y i was confused and i have gotech managment

B16CVH

You can drive it but keep the boost down (i always set it back to the std 8psi). If you can get the CO checked and adjusted so it is not terrible then you will be just fine.

nickrsturbo1990

CO checked???

If you're putting a new turbo on as well you might want to get an inline filter before the turbo especially as you're running in.

nickrsturbo1990

whats an inline filter?

tiff_lee

Just a small oil filter to go before the turbo, something like this ...

just think all those parts are going to wear and all that contaminated oil is then going to go through your nice new turbo! I'd definitely get a magnet sump plug to.

nickrsturbo1990

i took ur advice mate and got the inline filter and a mgnetic sump plug

tiff_lee

Oh you did cool lol I hope they serve you well just remember to clean the inline filter regularly during runing in and at every oil change i'm sure the magnetic sump plug with speak for itself.

martinmilne

how did the running in go did you get it set up

nickrsturbo1990

still running it in got it setup bout 3 weeks ago and have done 400 miles so far but now my immobilizer has decided to pack in and is now on standby till next weekend

some great advice there, but if it's overfuelling you'll suffer bore wash and ruin the bores/rings.
get it over to a tuners and get them to set fuelling for low load and drive it gently for a bit, then get it mapped for full power.
