to all the honda motors experts. what is the best way to break in the a brand new motor with like a few miles on it? drive it to like 1000-1500 miles and dont go over 3rmp? is this okay to leave the brand new turbo kit with the brand new motor? is this okay to leave the turbo kit on when breaking a new motor? please share me some of the best methods , please included tips and not over reving tips and oil change. thank you

 

well on mine i let the rings seat, then off to the dyno but most people wait for like 500miles

 

i put about 5-600 miles on mine before I hit the dyno. just used stock injectors and stock ecu

 

i already have everything on it , turbo , aem race ecu new injecotrs basically everything new from motor to block and everything has like 5miles on it. is this okay that i break it in with the kit on it? and what is my rev limit? 3rmp and drive around the city stop and go for about 500-1000miles? and what about the oil change and thigns like that , thanks

 

put your stock injectors and stock ecu on it and drive it like that for the first 500-1000 miles, don't boost on it. I did my first oil change about 40 miles of driving, then again after about 300 miles

 

so take off the whole turbo kit? and put on my stock header and ecu? or leave on the turbo kit and put on stock injector and ecu? is this okay to break it in with it , would anything go wrong?

 

u can leave the turbo kit. I did mine with the turbo kit on but just didn't boost on it. I had a wideband and so my af's were at almost perfect 14.7:1 while cruising since the stock ecu compensates for it.

 

hey man check out this website it has all the info you need and more http://importbuilders.com/ just click on the articles tab then click "HOW TO BREAK IN A MOTOR" this guy builds motors every day and really knows his stuff. good luck

 

i drove my on the street for 350miles.. redline it couple of times but it didnt seat the rings completely. it didnt get seated until i got it tuned to 420hp

 

The arguement on how to do it properly is still up in the air.

Most people like to drive it ~500 miles before considering it to be broken in, others drive it 5 and literally break it in with the "if it's gonna blow up it will regardless" mentality.

Personally I have that "if it's gonna blow up it will regardless" mentality.

 

thanks for all the tips guys =]
