Hello again

 

I'm about to drop my freshly built motor in and would like to know what oil to use to break the engine in and what oil to use after and what sort of mileage should I use the break in oil for before changing...

Some specs

Forged internals

Forward facing plenum

Gt35 garret turbo on high mount

800cc injectors

Nistune to be tuned

Brand new head

Turbosmart wastegate

Hoping to run 12-15psi

Fuel pressure regulator bla bla bla

All the other bits I can't think of

Hoping to get 400hp from her, would like more but will see how I go.

 

So what sort of oil do you guys think?

Use a mineral oil (not a synthetic). Push it hard without going OTT and watch for overheating and leaks. Do not baby it. Most of the running in should be done on the dyno with the initial tune. Dump the oil and keep using mineral oil for the first 10,000 and then switch to a quality synthetic.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?

      Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it

      All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.

      That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
