i dont think that a car that has been sitting over a year should do pulls without being broken in. i volunteer to drive it b and f across chinook till it is broken (in).

jenkin

can i bring the fd? will the dyno work on an automatic?

woundup7

Yup, just hold it in third or drive, not overdrive

hal

yes the dyno will work on a automatic because i did my 88 gxl about a year ago at the last time we did this at the same place. it worked pretty good also.

I thought the FD had a blown engine (or at least a poorly running one).

would be cool if Z could make it (maybe he can?). I doubt I will make this but it would be nice to see what type of numbers my $300 special volvo puts down.

jenkin

yeah, the fd has a toasted engine in the bay, and a rebuilt street ported 13 brew on the stand.... i just cant get them swapped because i keep getting to do neat projects like paint the garage, revamp the underground sprinklers, rebuild the door on the back of the rental mobile home (oops, manufactured housing), and go to family bd parties in cda when i would rather be engine swapping. i even sort of planned to do an all weekender to get this done but got waylaid by bday party and ripping furniture out of the house so chem dry can clean carpets....

i may finally have to break down and pay somebody to do the work. i think it would cost me more to get the motor swapped than you paid for the turbo brick!!! where is the justice in that?



oh, back on topic. i want to have the motor in in time to get to the dyno.... it isn't really a rebuild per se as the motor that i bought that was supposed to have a bad seal only had a carbon locked apex seal.... finally one goes my way! anyway, i shouldn't have to do 4K of break in, wouldn't 1K be allright before tossing it on the dyno?

rmriggin

run high octane (duh) and put some mmo in the tank for good measure, should be fine I would imagine.

woundup7

Hey John you may want to do the water in the intake steam cleaning thing as well. If its got lots of carbon that will definately help.
