yeah. 30 minutes is egregious. When the GM plant was open in my old home rip, it was something like 1-500 cars were ādrive tested.ā But nothing that would constitute engine break-in.
I canāt believe this to be true. Is there a source? Strapping a car takes 30 minutes. Iām happy to be wrong, I just donāt understand how this is possible.
ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ Some of us enjoy the wallet-draining bullshit to push a platform forward. These cars aren't in the 7s out of pure ass luck. Someone has to do the engineering, testing, breaking, and experimenting.
And.. for somethings, like the A90/B58 classes, there... are not better options.
They're likely heat cycled; I don't know for sure. It's incredibly unlikely that every engine hits a dyno. The amount of time that would take is beyond impressive.
Race engines do have break-in periods. Three actually.
Ideally, the first one is heat cycled by your builder. If they don't have a provision for this, you do it on the dyno.
Second, street miles, It's ideal to get ~50-100 miles on it before you really heat cycle it. Then you retorque the...
You can tell a lot by a person when they say things like, 'Screwel,' 'Kalifornia,' 'Chiraq,' etc. I'm not saying that positively or negatively, just stating as fact.
Fuel it is a ethanol content monitor. It monitors ethanol content. Not a flex fuel kit. You can do what ever you want, just adjust the tune to what makes sense.
If you have 91, run map 2, if you're on E40, you should have a custom JB4 tune from @Jesse DaBears. If you're on E50 with JB4 you'll...
