NBC Surveilance footage of DELL LAPTOP EXPLOSIONS - 2/6/2017 - CLICK HERE How long should you warm your engine up on a cold morning? Everyone has a different opinion. This video might finally put the debate to rest... Thanks Dave. Most manufactures strive to warm up their engines as quickly as possible in order to reduce the fuel enrichment necessary to operate the engine under cooler cold start scenarios thus reducing emissions. Two minutes to achieve full operating temperature is a long period of warm up these days with most engines achieving normal idle speed in less that that time. The opposed cylinder design used by Subaru get a slight mpg penalty because of the large surface area dissipating heat rather than producing power. I find it interesting that this engine took so long of a time to achieve idle speed at cold start at such a mild cold starting point. I would like to see a comparison of this test with a 5 cycl Volkswagen engine where the cylinders are are as close and you can arrange them thus reducing heat lost through the cylinder walls. Also, my understanding is that the newest engines with direct fuel injection (much like diesels) are about 5-10% more efficient than the indirect injection into each manifold runner. - Ed Prince lets his 80 FALCONS fly about the in-service airline cabin Gathered 2/05/2017: Guess what I like? - COFFEE Gathered 2/04/2017: Turmeric May Not Be A Wonder Spice After All As Trump Eases Russian Sanctions, Norway Reveals Kremlin Cyberattack Gathered 2/03/2017: Latest Email Scam Targets Amazon and PayPal Users Florida woman’s iPhone 6S Plus exploded at her bedside, according to report Google cozies to Trump but calls for his impeachment This just adds to the reasons I switched to https://duckduckgo.com/ several years ago.
