Best way to run an engine in is at 8k RPM'z,,, looks good btw...

My engine got a 10 minute run in, dropped the oil and filled with fully synth then drag raced it,
If its going to fail it will fail in the first hour or two, If its built right I cant see how that could harm it.

looks good debo, looking forward to vids of it running. What turbo is it running, GT28R?
Just a question,
why does he rev it and spray wd-40 in the TB?
interesting.
Had no water in either, on that vid - I don't think the guy has a clue tbh!!
Ok, so a few of you know about the car.
So, I'll try and answer a few of the questions:
* Throttle body is 60mm, welded to a GT3 inlet.
* It's currently unmapped, so it was a neccessity to spray a bit of brake cleaner around the TB. My dad's done a bit of tweaking, so it no longer requires that - but it is being totally mapped on bank holiday weekend.
* No need for boost hosing to be attached or anything, because it runs standalone. On a standard GT, if you did this, the car would run for 20secs then stall.
* GT28R Hybrid turbo, more specs will follow over the coming weeks.
Here's another vid of it running quite rough after he'd got it idling properly:

Thanks that describes why he was starting the engine like that .
Repost, watch this video ages ago
Revs quite quickly. You can see by the amount of movement in the throttle butterfly on the 1st vid - less than 50% open.
