mine takes about 10-15 mins to get to 90
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

Mine doesn't even get to 90  :shocked:

Though that may down to my Aux/Booster heater not working and the extra coolant required for the rear fans in the bus, which I hope to sort this evening  :smiley:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

when my car is cold it fires up very quickly but then splutters for a second and smokes a bit lol
other than that mine depends on how i drive it, if at a constant 50 or so it warms up in 10mins but if start stopping its over 20mins.
