I'm in the process of putting a B16A SiR-II into my Civic, and I've seen some stuff around about limiting RPMs for a long time, and then pissedoffsol says take the car to a dyno and get it tuned... but I've gotta drive this car all of the time, and I certainly don't have the money to get my car dyno tuned, I spent all my cash on the motor. What I don't get is why a break-in is necessary since the motor has been used before, and nothing has been changed internally, it's a simple swap. Or am I just reading wrong and the break-in stuff is for motors with new parts?
well this is just me but if its a used motor i would put about 100-200 miles on it then i would drive it like normal, or whatever
yeah i wouldent do a complete "break-in" run on it, just drive like a grandma for a few miles and see how everything is working, leaks ect. then drive it like smokey and the bandit
If the engine is completely stock and running the correct ECU for the engine, there's no reason to tun it no a dyno.
take it easy for the first week to make sure nothing ticks or leaks, ect. Then kick the shit out of it
Thats what I did, I got a motor from hmotorsonline, it already had maybe 25,000 miles on it and after it went in I let it run for a while sorted out the issues and then started driving it like It like I use to drive it.
