New Clutch installed - Also need a tune.

[JeremyCivic]

I installed anew new clutch/flywheel kit on my car on Tuesday. Since then, I've driven it for roughly 200km; taking it easy etc.

Just wondering how long it takes for the clutch to wear in? Also, in the wearing in period, what is necessary?i.e. dont do any hard lauches?is that all or are there other things to be avoided such as rev-matching?

Also, I need to get my power fc retuned. I was wondering whether it is ok for me to have my car tuned at this point in time? or would i need to drive for another few hundred km to bed in the clutch? What would be the outcome of dyno tuning my car while the clutch has not worn in yet?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

just give it 500 kms of easy driving. Dont launch or much gears etc just take it easy. Should be more than enough.
Wait until your clutch is fine before you dyno tune ur power FC IMO

Yes as Ben said, about 1 - 2 weeks of easy driving depending on how many ks you do.

what if i purposely take the car for a drive all in one or two nights just to try and clock 500km..would that be ok?

nothing wrong with that, just dont be tempted to take it freeway driving. Normal day to day stop start driving is probably what is best for it.
