got my stagea running today and it runs awesome, nice and lumpy idle, starts making boost at just over 2k rpm and 130rwhp at just under 4000rpm (revlimit at the moment). cant wait for the real tune and some real boost

happier than a pig in shit thats the motor runs sweet and no problems few gearbox and other issues but thats not a big deal over all

cheers

What ever gave you that idea?.... Oh yeah, must be the pic of a crankshaft sitting in the back yard

Good to hear she running sweet... Must be itching for her to be all run in and tuned so you can start having some fun

[chrissso]

How does that screamer pipe sound?

[Ska]

Well done, time to enjoy!

[CruiseLiner]

cheers guys and the screamer pipe doesnt even have a use at the moment being under 4psi of boost (max rpm i can do is 4k)

yes i built the motor, theres a thread in the forced induction section from my old nickname "stagezilla" and its called "building the jun 2.7L stroker" or something like that, hundreds of pics of the build and the dramas of it all, but welllll worth it in the end

thanks

130rwhp... are you sure its a 2.7 JUN kit? JOKE!

My 918.5cc has over 150rwhp hahahaha LOL

again, a JOKE. Please dont flame me, just some good natured ribbing.

Anyways - I give you the FULL FIST

Best of luck with the running-in mate, god Damn thats SO hard to do. You want to gas it some, but yet you know you cant. I ended up going on some real long rides just to get the first 1000kms up.

Once I could take it above 6000rpm after that 1000km mark, god damn was I impressed, one of the best days of my life was when the beast was finally let loose in anger..... bejesus that day still gives me the sweats...... and it just keeps getting better!

Awesome work, well done.

[Sydneykid]

As I said in the PM, well done. I am glad I could be of some assistance, even remotely.

So that was 10 pm yesterday, it should be run in by now. Then on the dyno by lunch time.

cheers

[timmmay]

good luck with it mate, can't wait to see what this beast does when it's ready to go 100%

Mine was after a full-on (expensive) rebuild with all the trimmings etc, just like Cruiseliner. Problem was Id been riding it for ages before hand ringing its neck, then all of a sudden you need to pussyfoot around for a while, when all you want to do is find out what it can do....! Was hard as!

Good luck with the riding mate.

[AlexCim]

cmon brad, i am sure you can do 1000km in a few days, its not THAT hard

I do 400 in a week, just add a few cruises here and there, thats 1000km

[oxford1327]

iknow what ya goin thru with the running in part of the new engine i had the same with my neew aprilia when i got it. jus couldn help myself and had to give it a bit before she was due. got in trouble from the service guys when they downloaded the info to see how it was ran in. not sposed to do 10k rpm on a v-twin till after 1000k service.

good luck with it

[CruiseLiner]

thanx for the support, i cant rev it past 4k anyway cause the revlimiter is set to 4k and it just bounces off it if i try and rev it. goes really really good even upto 4k it pulls pretty good. its back off the road as of this afternoon, the bloody diff is clunking as the shim thicknesses were not setup properly when i installed it 12 months ago and its annoying the shit out of me. diff is out and ready to be checked tommorow after work and then reinstall it.

next is the transfer case which is whinning like a bitch and is even more annoying, so that will come out this weekend possibly or maybe after i do the 1000km.

done 160km or so, so far. i drive another work vehicle so i dont drive until later in the arvo after work so i dont do many km's. i wanna sort these problems b4 i go racking up too many km's and causing long term damage to the diff/gearbox/etc.

cheers again

Find some long hill and drive up and down them lots. Lots of load, not many revs.

The best method of running in!
