Run it in the way that you'll drive it. The first 1/3 of all the wear on an engine will happen in the first 1000 revolutions that the engine does. You need to load it up fully, and also leave the drivetrain engaged on over run to suck the swarf out of the bores.

Sorry but Im not sure what you mean?

So they just drive it on the track anyways?

Would they be driving it @ WOT?

They make sure that the engine coolant and oils are warmed to operating temps, and then they will drive the car in the same manner that they will be driving it. The idea that an engine needs to be babied for the first few 1000 k's to break it in is wrong.

We don’t use the “normal” race oil (Castrol Edge 10W60) to run the engine in. It is synthetic, which means it is almost impossible to run in the rings. So we run the engine in using the basic Castrol GTX, mineral oil.

Hence there is no way we could run the car in the same way as we race it. The oil simply wouldn’t handle the loads placed upon it.

:) cheers :)

Can I ask which method you use??

I am going to be in a similar situation quite soon, and with so many theories floating about it's hard to tell which is the best way to go...

Thanks

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
