I used penrite-running in oil as I wasn't keen on cheapo bilo oil and since have run motul 8100 5w40. Its a 'true' grp 4 base stock synthetic.

Sure the castrol oils may work ok but if I pay good $$ for a full synthetic oil I expect a full synthetic oil.

Not to be ripped off with some grp 3 base stock that is claimed to be 'almost' as good as a grp 4 base stock synthetic.

Motul; you really cannot go wrong.

Spoolup; what run-in oil would you suggest? I did consider using the plain old castrol gtx that doesn't have non-friction modifiers..

The penrite running in oil I used is most likely recycled oil also but it was $28 for 5ltrs so not super cheap.

Mines still running well; travelled 60,000km's with forged pistons, king bimetal's and still compression tests the same as it did after run in.

Still doesn't use a drop of oil and oil pressure it good. :thumbsup:

5 DOLLAR CRAP for 500kays. and abit of boost abit of revs and no ideling or cruising

hi,

why do you say "no ideling or cruising"? i thought the opposite -- that i have to be tender with a new engine. I will have the "first start" in a week or two. I thought that it will be good for the engine to idle for a few hours and after that -- to cruise off-boost for a few hours.

Its well known never to be tender with a new motor.

Lots of load in bursts; different amounts of load and at different rpm's. I drove mine along the seafront with lots of round abouts so lots of slowing down with hard acceleration. I disconnected my turbo's actuator so I could give it some up to 4000rpm without it instantly pushing 11-12psi.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
