how does it run now w/o the downstraw??

[sitn2lo]

krazydrifter shut up i wish u posted like u used to it was fun making fun of you.

[fallguy]

The way I always break my motors in is to don't give the car alot of high revs at first, but do mild boost and do 10 runs in 1st gear and then let motor vacuum pull down, then 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th etc. My motor has a 7200 or so redline, so I revved it to 3k,4k,5k, but no more than 5500. Each time let it vacuum pull to slow. Put about 30 miles on it doing this and then change the oil to whatever your going to run. Preferrably Mobil 1 synthetic 10w-30. I've had good luck doing this.

we were in a hurry honest mistake... annoying/expensive/time consuming mistake, but its no biggy, just hope u didn't crack the head...

[Jim]

did you overheat

[Joel]

nope never went about the half way line in the heat mark, it happened right after we did a 5th gear pull to see what it was like, wasn't even at full throttle, so it was a mechanical error, not from beating on it... pulled over right away after we saw 3 quick puffs of white smoke... the overflow tank has a little tiny bit of oil in it, like 5 or 6 drops, so we shut it of in time...

[KA-T_240]

dont feel bad. we all make mistakes, like forgetting to do the final torque on cam bolts:icon_silent:

[Joel]

or forgetting to buy good fuel management? lol @ 97jeep...

[KA-T_240]

^WTF what that suppost to mean? ive havent blown anything up.

and what i have well be just fine(used by mass majority off people in the nissan world who are not running budget setups with afc's as there only engine managment). i may add an afc later but it is not needed. also a good number off the nissan d1gp teams run his ecu's
