I just got my drag gen 3 kit for my integra gs-r. The guy at the place where I bought the kit from said to shift before 3k rpm for the first 300 miles because the seals and everything else is brand new. Is this really necessary or was he being overly cautious? Also what is the best oil to use? I am thinkin of switching to mobil 1 synthetic. Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks guys

 

mobile1 syn

 

i dont think there is a breakin on a turbo, they are balanced already, the only thing you should do is prime the turbo with oil befor you start it for the first time,but i could be wrong on the breakin i would see what other peeps have to say.

cause i wanna know

 

i have heard if you prime the turbo, you can turn it on and let it idle for a few minutes then put that bad boy on a dyno.
dont take my advice, im a NOOBIE

 

Aren't you suppose to crank the motor without it starting to get the oil up to the turbo before starting the engine.....

 

1) oil gets to the turbo in like .2 seconds from starting the motor if everything is ok, and it doesn't really matter if it's .2 seconds or 35 seconds cuz most of them don't spin at idle anyways, so there really is no risk of damage -- but many people will tell you to "prime it" so do what you want, I don't bother.

2) no breakin on turbo that you have to think about, just drive. If everything is working ok, there should be no metal to metal contact, since it's a floating bearing -- hence, nothing to break in.

aka priming

 

cool, any other advice on installing the kit?
