First I would like to say thank you for your impute and your time. My s2k 02 has been down for a few months it will be running again by saturday. I would just like some impute I have read so many forums on this subject but I have not read anything about anybody breaking in a engine with a supercharger. I will use either halvoline 10w30 or castrol gtx 10w30 and valvoline synpower oil treatment.

I read some interesting info while breaking in the engine it would be good to get a little pressure in there and was recommended full throttle hits at 3rd or 4th from 2000-4000 rpms and around 500-1000 miles full throttle at 3rd or 4th from 2000-5000.

I am thinking of changing the oil around 1000 miles and slowly introduce vtec sorry this is so long but if you could kindly give me some impute if have the supercharger at first would hurt this car in the long run or what i have planed will be good thank you for you time.

I didn't break my car in with the SC. I put it on at 10,000 miles. I would use Mobil 1 10w-30 or Red Line 10w-30.

I would say to put at least 3000 miles on it before you SC it. To make sure everything is set in the motor right.

I would not do wide open rips on the car till it had 700 miles on it or more.

He has an '02 S2000. If you already have quite a few miles on the engine, then you don't need a special break-in after adding the blower. Just run the piss out of it and USE SYNTHETIC OIL!!! Mobil 1, Amsoil, or Redline.

It is an 02 but I bought a brand new bottom end and rebuilt the head
