Quickest/Easiest Way To Crank Engine Without Firing

[NobleGuy]

As per the turbo install instructions I need to crank the engine without firing it up to get some oil through the new feeds to ensure they're clean, and then into the turbo to pre-oil it.

What's the easiset way?

Pull the fuel pump fuse or relay

[NobleGuy]

Cool. That was my thought (honest ).
Is that one of the four in the engine compartment?
I'll have to dig out my paperwork to identify it.

Or find the fuel pump and disconnect it.

[NobleGuy]

Yep. Got it.
Fuel pump relay near the bulkhead in engine bay, rightmost one when facing towards front of car.

Thanks for the quick response.

pull the plugs out and it will turn over quicker and with less strain on the battery.

If your that worried about oil starvation pull the pipes off and fill them with oil

I'm not to be honest. It's just in the terms of the warranty.
There was oil dripping out of it when I got it so they probably pre-oiled it a bit by the looks of things anyway.

And yes, killed the battery LOL!
Recovered enough about an hour later to start without help though.
