Just ordered a CIA, no chip yet, have about 650 miles. Is there a break-in period that should be followed before adding any performance additions?

 

Chip?

 

Probably the same break in as the one mentioned in the owners manual.

 

After 500-1000 miles change the oil and you should be totally fine to run it hard.(what I did) Some say 1000-1500 before running the engine hard. Hell, some swear by a "Hard" break in...drive it like you stole it for 500, then change the oil.

Either way a ECU tune/Chip wont break the car...assuming you don't get too aggressive right off the bat.

 

I always put around 4-500 fairly easy miles on a new car just to break in the trans,brakes,etc.The rings seat in like 25 miles of driving so i am never worried about the engine.At 1k miles i change the oil,then its driving the way i want to after that!!

 

Awesome, put about 500 highway cruising miles on first but have gotten on it a little but now. I might wait till 1k, change the oil, and then add my mods. Thanks!

 

Couldn't wait till the 1000, put the CIA on, love the added performance and sound!

 

120 miles and a tvs blower was added to my car.

 

Welcome to 1990.............



There is no break in on the motor. It's done at the factory.

 

Drive it like you stole it day 1. Change oil to base 4 synthetic between 500-1000 miles. I have 18,000 miles and couldn't be stronger.

 

I drove maybe 20 miles before going wide open... now have 15k no issues
