JamieP Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Also im running 2bar now on pump fuel, made 730bhp at 1.8bar so has to be close to 800bhp now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 that's the way to do it! Amazing how opinion differs on that subject really. My mate is right in the middle of running in his rotary for 1500 miles and it's driving him crazy. I won't tell him about the other method though lol You can do more harm than good running in an engine like that. Most of the run in is done in the first 20 miles.

JamieP Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 If it blows up its my problem, no way im running an engine in for 1000miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprab Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Nah, i wont be running it in, 50 miles, oil change and then full boost. just curious but would you use a similiar tecnique in bedding in a clutch?? fitting my spec clutch soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did 500 miles on mineral oil in mine but it's not needed. You have to load the engine and bed the rings in at the begining or you may risk it not sealing properly.

Some manufactures suggest 300 miles like my rps 6 puck with rps flywheel. Think i done 100 miles then got bored. Was still running strong afaik Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 When Lee fitted my RPS stage 3 it was running 1.5bar on a t67 within about 10miles id say, 18k later its still going strong and holding a lot of power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraHuman Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 See Ryan today for some more mapping, turns out the flames are not from over fueling, its oil, getting lots of smoke on boost, looks like the seals have gone on the turbo, my own fault as i bodged a quick fix to the turbo feed when it broke, no restrictor equals blown seals. No big deal, ive pm'd dusty to get me another turbo asap, hope it comes in time for thunder road, although i will run like this if i have to, just wont perform to its best. Also my built engine is done, not sure when to fit it tbh as i dont want to miss any shows, gonna check out whats going on and may fit it the week after thunder road. If you need a tubby pronto, then daddy got one in a box under the bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 If you need a tubby pronto, then daddy got one in a box under the bed. I did think that but id need a downpipe an all, just waiting for a reply from Dusty (he is talking with precision for me) if i cant get one for a while ill give you a shout mate.

JamieP Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Checked the turbo and i was running the correct size reducer for the oil feed, lee had changed it when fitting the billet 6765. Had a email back from precision (via mvp) saying the failure could have been because im not running a ported H cover, why sell me one without a ported H cover then? So ive ordered a new turbo as i dont want to wait while this one is being fixed, this time ported H cover. They are building it up today for imediate dispatch but not sure ill have it in time for thunder road, the one on it still seems to boost fine so ill run with that, its just a bit smokey and the bearings sound a bit dodgy when you shut down, ill send it back when the new one is on.

dandan Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 It'll be interesting to see the dyno plot with the ported housing to see if there are any detrimental effects to spool or top end. When I bought my non billet 67DBB it had a ported "HP" housing and I swapped it for the non ported "H" housing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I'd just swap the cover and stick with this motor unless it starts giving you grief. From what i gather you may lose some spool and a bit of top end so i'd leave the cover swap till after TR so Ryan can check the fuelling. Everything else ready to roll?
