Hi mates, as i told you a couple of months ago, i rebuild my engine, tu3 1.4 motronic zx, the question is i've done 1750 miles and i wanna know when can i have the full potential of my motor,i'm still doing the breaking in and at every 300 miles i rev it up 500 rpms starting from 3000 rpms at the begining of the breaking in and touch the throttle at 1/2,i'm at the 5000 rpms now,so, when can i step on the gas at full throttle?

thanks

If you are saying that you have now done 1750 miles since the rebuild i would say as slong as eveything is working ok then just drive it as normal now.

I believe in drive it hard, but get it warm from day one.... Eg: my CX was a demonstrator from new (CNAN plates) and would have had the sh!t thrashed out of it from day one ... basically 00000miles. It's now about to hit 140,000miles doesn't use a drip of oil or coolant between changes. Not bad for a 20year old turbo charged car !!
