turning the engine by hand isn't going to be enough to get the oil pump sucking oil from the pan up into the head. All you will be doing is turning all the internals with minimal lubrication while the crank swims in the pan a bit.
Unplug injectors and dizzy and crank it with the starter. Much better.
you do make a good point, but it defantly makes a difference, when working on my car for a while i just run oil through it, turn it over a few times and start it a few hours later. it sound healthier and it warms up much better then when i used to start it without turning it over
when i did my setup i held the intake wheel and left the turbo drain off to bleed the turbo up. i found it hard on my b18a to get oil pressure by just cranking the engine so i started it and oil pressure was there quick smart (i did have relocated oilfilter kit though) so i had alot of new oil lines to fill before it would bleed up properly
the way i looked at it (i lefted an intercooler pipe off) is its just like putting headers on. at idle it wont affect anything. until u do the obvious
