Im finally finishing up on my engine install. I have everything now but the turbo and was wondering if I can attach the air meter to my intake pipe and attemp to fire the engine just to see if it will run?
First Start Q?
- Thread starter lowtaco
- Start date
That's a good question. I don't see why not since it would basically be like it was running before the turbo spools. But before you start it, did you build oil pressure?lowtaco;1445673 said:
EDIT: I misread, is this install a rebuilt block, or used?

The question I have is why? Sure seams like a lot of effort just to satisfy your curiosity. Even if it does start, it's not going to run right (which will then generate a bunch of questions).
Wait until you have it done.

It is rebuilt and yes I plan on priming the oil system. The engine was bought from Too_Stand used, but when I got it home and started to pull it apart I noticed it had a fresh bottom end, still with assy lube all over everything. New pistons, rings, bearings, oil pump and ect.
And I understand it will not run "correctly", I just want to make sure it runs. I do not plan on driving without a turbo, but even with it off I dont see why it wouldnt hurt just to make sure it runs.
