ESP Race ported engine - Breaking in procedure & first thoughts!

[tizdaz]

Hi guys!

What's best method for running in an ESP race ported engine. (G320).

With stock engines ive always just done:

1st tank: no more than 1/4 throttle with little blips of throttle
2nd: as above but no more than 1/2 throttle
3rd: as above but no more than 3/4 throtle
4th: normal useage!

...but with modded engines i take it that its a slightly different procedure?

Any info much appreciated! thanks

Let idle to warm up, drive easy couple minutes up to half throttle, start giving it! Tune for good plug colour after one tank

No break in required. Just tune it according to the sheet it comes with. I actually called the guy who owns ESP and he talked me through it.

Doug always has break in instructions included with any of his products. Let it warm up fully and go drive it, no break in

As above, warm it up and run it.

Well, took it out today for 1st run...

What a difference from the stock g32! I know you guys said it don't need to be run in, but i ran 2 full tanks through it, each tank at around half empty (or half full whichever!) id stop for a 10 min break and let engine cool a little. each time the engine was definitely loosening up as it would have more power/speed etc, think ive got the tuning bang on, will do some fine tweaking next outing, but yup, very impressed, woke my dibby up as before the low end was meh, but now its got lots of power.

I have 2 pipes atm, a Bartelone mid bleed silenced & the Olimat end bleed unsilenced. Not tried the Olimat pipe with this engine yet, so I'm going to wait until ive ran a few tanks through it with the Bartelone & then I will swap pipes over to see what its like with the Olimat to compare them, but on the stock zen, the bartelone definitely seemed to give more performance than the olimat, so will see!

Once ive decided which pipe I will use, I will be selling the other!

My way is no breaking in...i warm the engine first and give it hell, until my wife says "why do i see a charge of 2000eu on credit card?"
