Re: (raceACCORDingly)
I saw chips in that pick too.
I'm glad to see it worked! Some people on here think stuff is magic. Even though I think it's nut's you even got them in. haha DIY
In the long run who the hell cares, seriously. It's nice to have a HOBBY, like this.

If it lasts I will totally give you all the props in the world, because atleast you had the ***** to try it.....that in my eyes deserves all the respect possible, if it fails I wont tell you "I told you so" becasue I am sure everyone else will but I will still respect your effort.

That's badass man. I hope it lasts for you.
If I had access to machienes like that I'd do it myself too.
$250+ a few hours of your time vs 1,000 for sleeving. I'll take the $250 and a few hours.

not exactly something everyone can do. this guy had a machine shop to use and someone that knew how to do it. so basically he just had a hookup. im curious if it will last. I will congratulate him after its been running a while.

That's why I said if I had access to those machienes I'd be all over it.
Now I'm not going to go spend $100k on machienes so I can sleeve my own block, but if I had the ability to use them I'do it.

Re: (92 CIVIC HATCH VX)
I am breaking my current motor in N/A for a couple hundred then gonna throw 20+ psi in her and see how she likes it. My main reason is my tags expire in a week so i gotta get it re-inspected.

Re: (92 CIVIC HATCH VX)
Who's doing your tuning?
If you're doing it yourself then leave it NA and get a good NA tune on the car. Once you have a good NA tune put on the turbo and being tuning it.
If you're going to have someone else tune it just put the kit on and have the motor tuned.

There are tons of different break in theories.
The one that makes the most sense to me is this:
1- Pull ECU fuse and crank motor for 45 seconds. This is to work oil through the oiling system and lubricate all parts.
2-Take car to tuners (skip this if tuning on your own.)
3-Start car, let it run for a few minutes, shut it down, and change the oil. (begins seating rings. Gets rid of any metal shavings.)
4-Begin tuning. Change oil after tuning.
