If you don't excessively rev the car in neutral, I guess....Quote:

But I'd rather let the ECU do the warm up for about 1 minute, and then start driving off with light throttle and revs below 3000rpm. The K24 warms up very quickly after that.Quote:

I know in late model falcons the engine restricts the amount of water/coolant passing through the engine - thus allowing the engine to warm up quicker. Does the euro have this feature?
That would be called the thermostat. It's in all cars. It doesn't open till about 90 degrees, until then the coolant is just circulating through the engine. Once it hit's 90 the thermostat opens and start to send it through the radiator to cool it down.Quote:
