Real Posted 05/11/10 02:51 AM Share Posted 05/11/10 02:51 AM hey all!so cars going in next week for a fairly big mod list (see signature below) and I was wandering once after everything is done and car has been dyno tuned and ready to roll, is there such a thing as running in a freshly tuned/modded engine? or just go for gold? I was thinking of taking it out on a long open drive on the freeway for 2days and clock up about 500-700 km changing rev ranges etc! anyone else got any info?

Real Posted 07/11/10 03:06 AM Author Share Posted 07/11/10 03:06 AM Yeh tuner said before tune just do the service which I did for new oils, diff, gearbox, coolant,engine oil etc,and replace/run a better fuel filter, turbo screen filter and oil filter and all of that and then she is ready 2 go with the tune! after the tune just let the engine mould istelf and play around with the throttle/gears and get on some nice country roads to give it a boot full with a full tank of fresh 98! and take it easy granny shifting when suiatable to run everything in properly for 500km! then go hard :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have already ran your engine in then there's nothing else to run in after the tune. With new engines your main concern is just to bed the rings in nicely and give everything a chance to loosen up. But it doesn't sound like you built the engine recently?Good Luck with it mate.
