okay im rebuilding my ka24de with eagle rods, .020over JE 9.0:1 pistons, and BC v2 cams. i was stuck with the question, "can i build the engine (with cams) and still break in the motor without the turbo setup on it?" if i was to do so would i be sacrificing an entire build or what. any input would be great help, cause i know im not the only guy that builds his motor but doesnt have the cash for that shiney hair dryer yet.

(i am having a pro build the bottom end due to the fact i want it right the first time....he's buildin my bud's srt4 right now)

It won't hurt anything breaking in the motor without a turbo installed. Think about that question for a second, what do guys that build the motor without the turbo in their plans do? They break it in just like we do, no change.
