Alright, I'm a bit estatic that I finally got the damn car running good and actually drove it 50 miles! It's moved a total of 55 miles in the 2 years I've owned it, kind of sad. Anyway, I'm all happy that it starts like a breeze (After finding a massive vac leak at the ACV) Sounds and acts like it's blowing boost past out the IC hoses, which I suppose is ok since I don't want to boost (but the damn thing keeps on crawling and hanging around .1-.3bar. I'm very pleased, the car starts almost instantly every time, idles good and so forth. The bad news is, it's got an exhaust leak, and my fiero fan randomly decides to stop working (overheating maybe?) Oh, and also, no more god damn smoke screen!

 

FWIW, new ideas say that you dont need 1000miles...

 

Have any references as to where to look for info on that?

 

Great job; I am almost in the same boat. I just got mine running tonight.

 

Yeah, it's going to be a long slow ways up to 1000

 

Good job. Ive got 62 miles on mine, and its running great. Starts right up, holds an idle, and its so smooth. Excuse me, I need to go drive now...

 

I just passed 100k.
Occasional smooth startup and a beautiful clunk from the front suspension.

excuse me I'm gonna go cry.

 

mine just passed the 1k mark! YAY! I started gradually taking it up very easily after about 650 miles. Now its definately time for some tuning so I can get on this beast.

 

Hahaha, I'm on about 75-80 right now. My damn spedo is off from the 3.9 automatic that used to be in it prior, doh! Still smoking a tad in 2nd gear, and damn is it hard to stay out of boost! Gotta figure out what's wrong with my fiero fan.

 

great news, and good luck with the 1k

 

SO your not killing every bug in 3 counties when you drive now?

Nice to see you finally got it running Rat

 

I just passed 5 miles

Only 955 to go!

Just passed 100, and it still smokes upon startup, but nothing too bad. Also, reverse and 2nd gear make for some smoke, but nothing like the james bond smoke screen that'd kill a county I had going on before.

 

oil or coolant?

I had a bit of smoke when i first started my motor but only for about 30 min then it burned off and now no smoke at all

 

Well, considering my old engine acted as a massive oil pump, and my exhaust probably has about 3 quarts floating in it, I'm not to concerned, especially since it doesn't smoke when it's moving/etc.

 

Yeah I got a little smoke coming off the turbo when it sits (greasy hands) from the install.

You'll probably burn that oil off eventaully.

We have a similar fuel setup.
What are your S-AFC settings?

 

S-AFC isn't doing anything right now, as i'm running the 550's for breakin then hauling my *** to the dyno with the 720's.

 

Yep.

Thanks, that's pretty interesting, it says pretty much only 100 miles, at considerably higher RPM's than every else suggets. Anyone got any feedback on that?

 

I was told to keep it off of boost and under 5k rpm's for about 2k miles. Only have 500 on it so far. Been working on the hood and front end this weekened but they are both done and will bolt the hood back on tonight, then it'll be ready for more driving.

 

137 miles!

It won't stay under 4000 rpm. The thing is wild.

 

Im at around 190 miles. And Im going to a friends tonight, so theres another 60 miles.

My motors doing great. But I need to take off my front cover to lower the pressure on my front oil pressure regulator a little, and replace the gasket. Im losing oil around the front cover. And I need new oil cooler lines.

 

I'm right @400 miles, little smoke, totally Premix,
try to keep it under 5k, occasionly 6K with 5PSI,
but, i got a bad vacume leak that i need to find.
idle @ 1500 with 10 degree advance timing.
can't wait til the 1k mark so i can takit up to 8.5 k...
it's just to..tormenting!! the urge of PUNCH IT!!!

 

Is everyone breaking in their motor?

I should be starting mine by the end of this week if everything goes as planned...
