Tfs says 500 miles under 3k revs, then oil change, then 250 miles to 3.5k revs, then another 250 up to 4k revs. Then remap.....hammer down then!

.5 of a bar for the first 250 miles & 1 bar there after in short bursts now and again or as said your glaze it

Short shift & use the gearbox & engine to brake, that will help the rings bed into the bores.

Best way Tim
You must nearly be there on the running in by now? |

470 miles now and oil change Friday
|
#214

Tell you what Tim do it properly and as Stewart suggested it his build not every not all these other engine builders on here.
he has quite a good record with engines |
#215
|
|||
|
|||
It's like everything on a forum. There are so many different ways of doing things. I followed what my engine builder said to the letter and would suggest that you do the same. It looks pretty much that is the case anyway.
Part of my running in was as much engine breaking as possible. Nearly there though mate, so not too much more to worry about |

I just drove to Cornwall one night and back... Then oil change and mapping

the main thing is engine braking.. the vaccum in the bore will pull the rings out and bed them better / quicker.

1bar imho is too much on mineral oil.. not that iirc Tims is on mineral.. but just need to be careful as lots of people differ on opinion to running in and oil to use etc... also 1bar on a td05 16g is a lot different to 1bar on a gt35r etc.,. if it is mapped to that then that is different.. Tim's has been mapped with 0miles on it to low boost and checked the fuelling and timing is correct should he accidentally boost it but it should be kept at low boost, minimum boost possible. if you needed 0.5bar or 1bar to run an engine in.. then I best go strap a turbo to my wifes Zafira as obviously with 80k miles on the clock it has never seen over 0bar as it is NA and clearly not run in.. there is a lot of stuff spouted and sometimes it is said in a way that makes sense but clearly when you look at it at face value is crap. A lot of Evo engine builders say drive it on boost straight away and for as much as possible... errrmmm... then like the guy on mlr that lost an engine as he hadn't tightenned the oil cooler pipe.. had he run it in normally I suspect he would have saw the smoke rather than the oil gauge at 0.

4x leakdown test's all spot on. My car spent 1 hour being run in at various rpm inc a couple of runs to 9k. Advised by my engine builder Jimmy Skyers X Mclaren. Is he wrong? I hope not! Same with my bike engine's over many years & 6years of that racing {so they didnt have an easy life} None of them ever seen more than a couple of hours running in. Ive never had an engine fail on me YET {that Ive had built} fingers crossed. Not sure about the guy's on here & how many engine's they have had built the Evo must be getting on for my 10th/12th engine build now. I dont build engines for a living i just pick the best engine builder. Simon you map cars & Jimmy builds them I'm sure he would not have given me the wrong info As said above different builder's Will have different views on running in. My above builds had mineral oil in for a short period 1st followed by whatever oil i was using at the time. This is not a rant or a dig at anyone it's just my past experience.
PS if anyone is about the RYE area today pop in to JRM see my car fall off the RR again {not} NIGE Last edited by Nige; 18-03-2011 at 02:56 AM. Reason: ??????????? |

Problem is the oil system and bearing setup on a subaru engine is very different to an evo.

IMO I think the only way to run an engine in is by adhearing to the builders running in schedule Tim's obviously running in as he's been told which is the best thing....

I wrote a reply about nige's being run in on the dyno as safe and sensible if that were your chosen route to run it in hard but it looked like I was taking the pee what with recent events.

"high cylinder pressure will push the rings into the piston and cause blow by"
Simon can you explain why? As for the past 30 years I've understood it to be the complete opposite. I'm not saying run loads of boost in fact the boost is immaterial higher cylinder pressure forces piston rings out not in. I'm confused......However Tims been instructed to run his engine in is what he should do....but on the technical side of this I'm interested as I shall soon be building up my 2.5 soon. No I haven't built a Subaru engine but I have built numerous others, but all n/a engines. Thanks Last edited by old93ra; 18-03-2011 at 10:01 AM. |

Was also of the belief that high pressure passing the rings pulled them out
(note to Tim: If you feel your threads gone off topic or would like the running in talk to be moved to a seperate thread, just let us know It is a good topic though and many people have differing opinions so definately worth keeping the discussions going) |
#231

There are many opinions and we will never all agree.
I feel the rings are what need running in, the bearings should be correct clearance and are non contact. As long as fuelling is not rich or lean then the rings should bed in normal driving which should include engine braking. Seens lots and one I actually liked was mineral oil, start it and set map up, drive at under 2000rpm to 3rd, engine brake to 1000rpm. Drive to 3000 and engine brake to 1000rpm, then 4000rpm, 5000, 6000, 7000, 8000rpm with cool down time between to make sure oil temp not too high, then drop oil and fill with fully sync and strap to dyno and map to 600+. But importantly the map was monitored and altered through out. Simon

I think thread like these are great, because they can go a long way to dispell the many myths and dangerous untruths that get banded about at times like this. No-one has or would put anything in this thread maliciously, it just that there are too many theories and plans out there, it would be good for the people who KNOW to correct people. In this instance, Tim is doing it as he was advised by Stewart & Simon. When I did mine, it was everythingh that Vince and Simon said, simple as. Keep the information coming people |

Put it this way if you crank an engine over with say a 10:1cr (keeps it simple) at bdc the engine has drawn in air at atmospheric pressure (14.7psi) then go to tdc and the airs been compressed by 10:1 which equates to 147psi. If the rings did not expand to seal the gap then a compression test would reveal zilch or less puff than a sparrows fart. So rings expand under boost Simon. They have to and they dont need running in, any miniscule high spots off the bores would be gone in a few minutes. If your running at 3000rpm at say for 300 miles that took 3 hrs to do that means the engine has made about 544,000 revolutions: 180 minutes x 3000 revs. More than enough. Top Ring

Extract from the Cosworth instructions for their 2.5's
Pdf file here Before Starting During the break-in process, we recommend using a high quality API SJ or newer mineral 20W-50 engine oil. We also recommend using a genuine Subaru oil filter. Do NOT use a synthetic or synthetic blend during the break-in process. Replace the oil immediately after the break-in procedure or 500 miles (whichever comes first). We also strongly recommend priming the engine’s oil system before starting. To do this, make sure there is no fuel or spark by disconnecting either the ECU or by removing the appropriate fuses and/or relays. Then crank the engine until there is oil pressure registering on an oil pressure gauge (you or your mechanic must install one). When first starting the engine, be sure to keep the engine speed above 2000rpm to ensure the tappet buckets and cam lobes have adequate oil. Engine Break-in It is critical that your Cosworth engine is not started with an excessively rich fuel mixture. An excessively rich mixture will wash away the oil in the cylinders and the rings can potentially never break-in causing excessive oil consumption, crankcase blow-by and lower power output. This damage is permanent. If the engine will be broken in by driving the car, we recommend you keep the engine speed below 4000 rpm. Drive the vehicle at various loads, speeds, and throttle positions while keeping engine speeds below 4000 rpm for approximately 1000 miles or 1660 kilometers. The longer the engine is broken in, the better your results will be. If breaking your engine in on an engine dynamometer, follow the break in procedure detailed below. You can use the guideline for a chassis dynamometer as well, but load readings will differ. If using a chassis dynamometer make sure to keep water temperatures below 95 degrees Celsius and oil temperatures below 110 degrees Celsius. • Run at 2000rpm @ 50-60 lbf-ft. load for 20 minutes • Run at 3500rpm @ 90-100 lbf-ft. load for 20 minutes • Run at 4250rpm @ 100-110 lbf-ft. load for 10 minutes • Run at 4250rpm @ 125-135 lbf-ft. load for 5 minutes • Run at 5500rpm @ 125-135 lbf-ft. load for 5 minutes • Run at 5700 rpm @ WOT for 2 minutes (not to exceed 300 lbf-ft.) During the final break-in stage, the boost should be limited so as not to exceed 350 lbf-ft. of torque. Some initial ECU calibration activity may be required to complete break-in with proper air fuel ratios. The engine should be calibrated to achieve an air fuel ratio rich enough for the type of fuel you are using. Consult with a professional tuner if you are unsure of an air fuel ratio the engine requires. Boost should be regulated so as not to exceed 300 lbf-ft. of torque during the break in process. Once ECU calibration is complete up to 7000rpm, the short block should be ready for a WOT, full power run throughout the entire range.

I think the issue is the filter and inductn kit pipe length.
The induction pipe was collapsing as the turbo was struggling to suck through the filter. Just my thoughts after the event. Simon

If you suck on a straw and put your finger over the end the straw collapses but the problem is with your finger not the straw.

Smaller turbo and no vvt.
The filter kit is my best guess from how it behaved and inlet pipe was sucking shut Simon

Would be great to see a before and after with an RCM kit. Good luck Tim I hope you get it sorted

Go for th RCM Filter, u know you want too. It's one of m shopping list ites too.
And what Simon says makes alot of sense if you don't have a cheap ebay induction hose. I've not seen your inner wing filter but some are quite small/narrow. |
#245
|
||||
|
||||
I'd be tempted to agree - you could go for a cheaper option of a filter straight onto the intake pipe and try that - maybe even try borrowing an RCM kit or similar to see if it stops the pipe collapsing as they are easy enough to swap over?
