hres a pic




can u guys help me on what Oil should use for initial start, computer?, how long first time running (no driving), spark plugs for initial and after,

another question i have only one plug on my harness for the O2 sensor, should i eliminate that since i will be using an AEM wideband or keep it .

thanks in advance.

 

what i would do..
remove the turbo stuff and run the car n/a on regular oil. i ran 10w-30, broke the engine in and got it tuned. after it was tuned i installed the turbo and then i ran synthetic oil. i live in texas so im using heavier weight oil 20w-30/40/50 (which i can get, my tuner suggestion as well)

 

I'd run a xenocron basemap ( your setup looks pretty common. I'm sure Chris has something to load into your s300).

Use good old fashioned non-detergent oil (pep boys, autozone for private label) cheapo stuff. Now the debate is fast break in methodology vs. slow break-in methodology. I go 500-700 miles regular driving, very little freeway to get clutch broken in at the same time as the engine. I do 20 minute start up and run... Drain, check for metal, then change oil with more pep boys oil for the 500-700 mile run on the basemap given.

If no basemap, stay with stock injectors and ECU, disconnect a charge pipe so that no positive pressure is seen. ( you will not "over spin" the turbo unless you disconnect the oil feed/return system .) go through your break-in process, then reconnect the system at the dyno and replace injectors for the ones you plan to use.

 

LOOKING GOOD KEEP UP THE WORK

 

Thanks for all the fast replies.
JustYncredible: I am really tryin to avoid removing anythin,

TheShodan: thanks for your input, choice b sounds very good, but I'm affraid I don't have a chip on my P28 or another ECU I can temporary use, I was lookin at xenocron.com and they have one that says" basemap for S300.. Etc etc, is that the one ?
What about my Boost gauge, should I connect that too?
Is the NGK BKR8-EIX good for this set up ?
Sorry I'm no expert, first build doin it resourcing from everywhere.

1sickeg718 : thanks , I'm tryin !!

 

 

what are your Hp goals? what kind of fuel are you going to be tunning on? iam doing pretty much same build. looks great! awesome job!

 

r1paniccia: My HP goals are in the 4xx Range if safe to be, not sure if it will b possible,but I got my hopes up, will be on 93 Octane for now, thanks man!

This weekend I took apart my Front knuckles, LCAs , and brake Calipers to get sand blasted and painted, also replaced both inner and outer tie rods. !! Will post pics tomorrow !

 

Took some parts off for Sand blasting and Paint .

Final Results:


Closer look.

Had to change of the Caliper Pistons, so went to the junk yard and got one for $3 bucks!!

 

Got a 340 Stealth Aeromotive Fuel pump,, I already have installed a walbro, should I replace it with the aeromotive or stay as is !? ,

 

depends upon power goals. Under 550whp? Stay with with the Walboro 255lph G42 Hi pressure pump (assuming that's what you mean by "walboro")

 

e mail chris harris with your setup and he can make you a basemap for your setup all you have to do is paypal him the money for the basemap and he will e mail you back a basemap to upload into your s300 here is his e mail address chrisharris@xenocron.com or call him (845).504.5340

 

yes power goals are in the 400ish if my set up is capable of and safe to be at that HP range. ??? ,a friend gave me the 340 Aer. pump , because he upgraded his system,for something else. i guess i will keep it for a later on upgrade to E85 ??( maybe ),,
i dont see where i put Walboro ??? lol

 

i was told from a local shop , that the S300 v2 comes already with like 40 base maps that i can choose from . by motor set up ! .. true ?

 

There are some built in to the software yes...but chances are, most are not close to the typical setups these days.
