How many miles are you guys putting on your motors before you lay down some numbers at the dyno.

im thinking about doing some street tuning soon, and then putting about 500 on it before taken it to the rollers.

platinum.

 

0, took it straight to the dyno

 

Go straight there and tune

 

I was too chicken, I waited 1000 miles before I boosted it, about 1200 before I dyno'd it

 

I did my break in on the dyno... about 30 minutes... and I switched to Mobil 1 and then I tuned the car.

 

I've been thinkin about this also. I am finsihin my car soon and i think im gonna street tune it first, then take it to the dyno. That way i can check for problems and save some time dynoing.

 

damn, i already got 45 miles on my car

****. i guess i need to get there.

Im gonna drive the bitch around for a bit getting it all together and then Im driving like 4-5 hours to see Chris to street tune my car

Dont intend on going on a dyno

 

I put on about 500 miles before I went to the dyno...

 

has anyone had any problems from putting to many miles on there car, or not putting enough on there car before getting it tunned.

personally I don't think it matters. If you have a good tuner. They will set it right!

Thats a good Idea...You almost always find those little things that needs some touch up after about 100 or so miles.

best way to do it

 

well i got 48 miles on the car, and im keeping it parked untill the dyno, or at least a street tune.

just make sure you aren't running too rich with a basemap. Might wash out the rings?

 

important thing to keep in mind is a base map is nothing more than a base ,

that's why im not driving it anymore.

A/F looks good on my gauge, but it does backfire sometimes indicating im running way rich..

No reason why you can't do a street tune. I had an acceptable and safe AFR after 5 mins of driving down the street. Took it to the dyno 2000 miles later for finer ignition tuning.

 

There's a thread by earl in the FAQ on breaking in engines: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=878397

You should tune it right away according to him.
