The reason I ask is because most of the time I drive it cold at like 2000 rpm until it gets to normal operating temperatures. I dont like to stay in my apt parking lot in the morning while it is idling at 2000 rpm to warm up because neighbors be trippin

 

I do the same thing. I drive it cold to the deli every morning, and let it idle there. It's the same thing as driving with it cold when NA, as long as your only using partial throttle and not boostin it. . . .

 

Just like when it was NA...I get in, start it up, let it idle for maybe a minute or so, then go. Mine sits at about 1700rpm, then drops to 1500rpm after a minute. When it drops, I go. I just baby it under ~3500rpm until its fully warmed up.

I do exactly what this fella does.

 

when it was on the stock motor I used to let my ITR warm up for like 10mins maybe.
On the built motor I let it warm up much more on colder days becuase the cold idle maps were retarded rich for a while. So I usually let it warm up until it went into the 12's a/f at worst at idle.

 

I get it in start it pull out of my driveway and take it up to about 8000rpm's @ 10psi. That gets the heat flowing much better on these cold days.

 

^^^ lol. yup. adquate warm up time.

 

I let it run for like a minute or two w/o moving it, once the idle begins to drop to a reasonable idle I just drive. No beating or anything until full OT, but I just drive.

PS- I have nothing against boosting part throttle &lt;5 lbs or so even when it's cold. I've been doing it forever. I figure.. .factory turbo cars do it

 

I have a Greddy Water temp guage, and what I usually do is let it warm up to 40 degrees celcius. And that usually takes me about 3 1/2 minutes. However I don't boost until I get up to normal operating temperature which is 80 degrees celcius.

Khoi

Hahaha

 

If its crazy cold I will let mine run for a good 3-5 minutes before even thinking about moving. Its nice to live in the country.

 

I let mine warmup till the normal operating temperatures.

same here

 

I let it idle for around 30sec then drive it lightly until the factory temp gauge is in the middle. This warms it up much faster than idling and gets the oil up to temp so it can do its job.

 

I have a block heater, so my temps are partially warm when I start up the car. I let it sit for about 1 min and drive off until the temps are fully warm before putting load to the engine

And you are probally beating your motor to death. There is probally alot of blowby while its cold and boosting. Not fully expanded psitons = no good for boost.

 

I let it idle for about 1-2 minutes before driving, then I drive like a grandmother until the coolant temp gauge is normal and oil temp is about 140F, then I let all hell break loose..

 

I normally turn on the car lock my doors and go back inside to have my morning coffee, so about 5 min. I always warm it for at least 2-3 minutes though. Better safe than sorry for being in a rush.
