Looks like they're taking good care of the car to make sure nothing is scratched or dinged. Seems like a real reputable shop.

Those fans do not look big enough to power the car. You should probably put the motor back in.

I see. I strongly suggest you to send your engine now because building it takes time I know they will say say 1 week the timeline but thats just not gonna happen. especially if you're ordering custom pistons.

Yes sir they are reputable shop but labour charge is quite expensive (which i dont really care as long as they dont give me any headache)

Indeed, I already have aftermarket fans to install that I posted on first post.

For all those who build the engine, which method you used to break in the engine?

There are over thousands of threads about break in the engine and each one use different method.

I came across this method which seems quite interesting..

What's The Best Way To Break-In A New Engine ??
The Short Answer: Run it Hard !

Why ??
Nowadays, the piston ring seal is really what the break in process is all about. Contrary to popular belief, piston rings don't seal the combustion pressure by spring tension. Ring tension is necessary only to "scrape" the oil to prevent it from entering the combustion chamber.

If you think about it, the ring exerts maybe 5-10 lbs of spring tension against the cylinder wall ...
How can such a small amount of spring tension seal against thousands of
PSI (Pounds Per Square Inch) of combustion pressure ??
Of course it can't.

I would love to follow these steps but the problem is I also have to break in the stage 4 transmission which i dont think its a good idea to run it hard because its its not what GTM said on their manual lol

Your suggestions will be appreciated

The radiator is the most important. The OEM fans do work great and can be tuned to work more efficient with Uprev.

G37sHKS · 08-04-2013, 04:30 PM

I agree that the fans are good enough and all it need is better performance radiator but for $400 extra to have massive 14" dual straight blade fans SPAL I think thats a great price/combo for turbo

I've read that thread and thought it was very interesting. The same can be said for our ecu. I've read tuner threads where people claim of you run the car hard the ecu will turn it into more power.
Not quite sure if either are true but it's interesting to say the least. I'd say to go with what ur builder and tuner recommends.

Sub'd. Cool build!

seems most folks missed the joke...

SPOHN · 08-04-2013, 08:13 PM

I'm a little worried. Builds don't go smooth or steady like this. Great people your working with.

G37sHKS · 08-04-2013, 08:31 PM

I really hope the build keep on going up without any troubles

Funny thing is when today i went there for those pictures i posted earlier, I asked the manager if there is any estimate to finish the car yet.
He said 2 weeks. I was kinda shocked and said I got you fully assembled short block and transmission all you have to do is remove and install and other parts like can be installed once you put the engine back.

He said "look, this is not the case here, I can install your whole project in 2 days and send you a text msg to come pick up the car. but we have to clean every single part in long block with fuel and other materials and check all the timing chain if they need to be replaced or not. Additional to that, he will send the Heads to machine shop for redecking, inspect and clean etc etc.."

Lol i just said okay take your time and kept my mouth shut LOL
