Racing on Fresh Built Motor?
I have searched and searched, maybe wrong keywords, but I cannot come up with anything close to what Im asking. I have a built GSR turbo, and Im wondering if it is ok to auto-x on the new build. It has been dyno'd and tuned (309hp/235tq), so far I've put 200 miles on it, and everything is going good. No compression test yet, but there is no smoke and it runs hard, im pretty sure rings are seated well. So I guess the real question is would you race on freshly built motor with under 1000 miles on it?
Specs:
JDM B18C 81mm
Wiseco Pistons
Easgle Rods
ACL Bearings
50 Trim
Log Manifold
2.5in DP to 3in Exhaust
Tial Wastegate
RC 550's
Greddy RS BOV

Once its tuned properly you should be good.. Think about it most racing teams break-in on dynos and never have any problems.. So you should be good..
if its already been tuned and everything is checking out ok i would say it is. theres going to be many different opinions on this subject though. many would say to take it easy for a while.
Thanks for the quick responses. I guess the whole 1000 miles thing scared me, but the even is this sunday so I'll probably put that many on it anyways. It was broken in hard on the dyno, and I've been on it pretty good the past few days. I guess im just worrying too much, I mean after all I did build it for things DD/Racing. Just wanted others opinions I guess.
Yea everyone is really confirming what I thought allready. The races arent really that intense anyways, its a small track and they usually only last about a min, with a long cool down. I guess I'll just keep driving it as much as possible, I'm trying to hit 500 miles to change the oil and filter again, I dont think I'll hit 1000 before sunday but I'm still gonna use fresh oil before and after. Thanks for the posts.
