I did a search, I found most people like run first 3000kms with no boost and limit rpm. but i told to a few tuner. they told me no matter how hard you drive it. only thing need careful is the engine oil, just don't use full syn oil in 1500kms. and a said if the engine builder is good enough the engine may only need a run in time on dyno.

I have no idea how to run in it prepely. some suggestion??

last owner done 2500kms after engine rebuild. I didn't know how did he drive, but i think he must done some hard driving on mountain. I also push very hard as well about 200kms. maybe change full syn oil after another 300kms?

but my gtr is run really good. good power, every thing is good.anyway I will get it on dyno next week check every thing.

if the engine push hard(not very hard, just normal drive,a few mountain and some 8000rpm gear change) in run in period will it get any damage??? or just take a bit long to finish run in?

2500km is around 1500km too much if you're doing the usual street driven run-in. the idea is to bed the rings in pretty much around the first 300km of driving.

what i do is not to do ANY highway driving, just do normal driving while accelerating from each set of lights going from a 30-40% higher than usual take-off speed then driving as per usual thereafter till you come to a stop again.

its also important that your AFR's arent rich during run-in as not to get bore wash which also causes your rings not to bed in properly.

personally i only do the full 1000km run-in because my mechanic says so - i dont want to give them any reason to void my warranty. any good tuner that actually gives a crap about your car can run your car in on the dyno. its always good to get a few k's (around 500km) of street driving just to sort things out before the final tune but 2500-3000km is over doing it. if the motor is going to fail because of wrong bearing clearances then it will fail well within the first 200km of driving, or on the dyno when its being run in.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
