Not trying to side track here, but has anyone mentioned to you that running in a new motor under boost is definately not the preferred method to run in an engine?Quote:

there are some people that feel proper break in is basically run it as hard as you can, but generally the consensus(including what is advised by automotive manufactures, who I would certainly consider more of a "pro" then the shop qball got the work done at, as they've proven to be a bit shady in the earlier thread) is to run it at low load/varying rpms for a certain amount of miles before giving it heavy load/high rpm driving... that of course offers the interesting predicament in this situation of how does one tune an engine with the turbo without doing that... it's all very fishy to me
Most people say the rings will set within the first 20k's. Hell everyday on honda-tech people post how there engines are smoking after 5000k when they did a 2k run in. I guess we will see in a month weather on or the hard run-in worked??
when i changed the rings on my ZC i ran less than 4000RPM for 500km and havnt seen any smoke to this day
it would be alot easyer for you to simply buy an already turboed b16 if the above one is realy for sale it mite even be ceaper than the motor and the kit and if you realy want the b16a then you can just buy the head and throw it on the b16b
contact user "filo-accord" he'll tell you who can do the transplant in brisbane. As for the turbo kit.. my advice would be to source all the parts together yourself.. dont get a workshop to source it! you'll save money! To get the kit install and tuned, ill mention bob romano, APC in underwood, mazfix also in underwood or brisbane turbo tune @ the gabba!
to clear up a few things, the shop that did me install, are NOT the guys tuning my car.Quote:

the 'pros' i was refering to in my previous post are the tuners, not the mechanic
that's all fine and dandy, but I still question anyone that would tune a non broken in, turboed engine...Quote:

Why do you guys Have such high Costs for engine swaps and Turbos. We have the swaps available and all components to turbocharge a car for half that price. Thats with all turbo components brand new. Im just curious, or is it the labor that is expensive over there? Someone clue me in.Quote:
