Imo, he should run wastegate pressure boost and break it in as hard as possible.. After reading this...Quote:

I decided to go for it, I ended up with very good compression numbers and my engine's been taking a beating for the last 40k miles, still running very strong.
We always broke in our built engines on the rollers, some cars went straight to full tilt, otherwise were mild, but we always put SOME stress on them.Quote:

Wiring left in engine: 5 bar map sensor, AIT, BCS, Wideband controller clean-up
In car wiring: Gauges
Then a few more fuel lines and I'll be ready for intecooler/intake fabrication this weekend, hopefully running by Sunday!
I was figuring I would zero out the tune and lower it to wastegate boost then throw the 360cc injectors from my other car in it when I break it in and go hard for a few pulls at least.
Although I was wondering how important having the stock tune would be... If anything the tune is super rich right now but I'm going to install wideband to know for sure
rich tune is not good for breakin, washes the rings down. You'd rather be lean at low boost and not rich. You aren't going to blow it up at 6PSI if it is just a little lean, but if it is really rich the rings may not seat.
Undercoated it, fitted the bumper, took everything off the front end and painted it. Started pulling the engine apart to check for bearing wear, and change out the lash adjusters. I also cut out some of the headlight bucket that was in the way of my bumper fitting properly.
I have gotten more done today and yesterday that I had in four months of it sitting outside...
Picked up a parts car

Installed my maximal stage 2 t-case brace, and rebuilt some 2g rear calipers that Rakuny powdercoated for me.

Today, I deleted my stock oil cooler. I already have the big Greddy cooler on there so I pondered as to just why the hell I kept the stock leaky rusting unit on... I also hacked a little more of the headlight buckets away so that I could fit the Stealth boomerangs on a little better, no matter what I did they kept getting pushed up by the remaining bucket.
I'm also prepping the core of my intercooler to be done in some thin "thermal" friendly black paint, leaving the tanks polished.
