Since your motor is rebuilt. Breaking in should be easy. The first option you can drive for 500 miles driving easy or drive on hilly roads. Driving on hilly roads would allow you to break in faster.

but he's asking if he should break it in first then tune it, or tune it first THEN break it in. O_o my buddy dropped a built & turbo'd B20 in his CRX and he's breaking it in before he gets it tuned, so i'd suggest breaking it in before you tune it.

yeah i would recommend breaking it in first, because there's no point to tune it, and then have everything settle and have to do it again.
