Wondering how cold you've run your s/c's or aftermarket turbo.

It was 13 degrees in the morning today.

 

prob in the 30's

 

27today
i love cold weather for FI......

 

^
why is that? i remember looking at that vortech race sheet that cautioned going under 23...of course trd omitted that tidbit...

 

Cold air is more dense which means more power. Maybe the caution for under 23 has something to do with oiling issues.

 

^
yes.
any temp you would NOT go under?

 

I drove my tC out the other day when it was about 25 out. Ran fine I just let it warm fully up till I left in the morning. I could see how the oil ptemt could mess a turbo or s/c up though. I would like to know what everyone think about the oil temts too.

 

so i guess i am the lowest at this point?

at 13 degrees?

it's been a warm winter so far in NY...

 

9 degrees this morning for me. Let it warm up fully and no issues that I know of. If something goes wrong oh well i have 45,000 miles on my warranty left.

 

8 degrees this morning, not counting the wind chill. Turbo ran fine from Boston to Hartford, but I had to warm her up a tad bit longer. It's been unusually warm here in Mass too, but this cold front is a bone especially since I just got back from a cruise in the Gulf.

 

a freezing cold 35 degrees in houston this morning . but with the oil temp thing, just let ur car warm up before going and it should be ok.

 

I have friends here in the AK that run their S\C's and turbo'ed tc's and other cars with aftermarket FI and they run great. If you give your car lots of time to warm up, you have nothing to worry about. Hell, they prolly run better as long as their warm

 

10 degrees this morning.

 

I've run mine in the low teens. I don't know that I've had single digits yet.

 

I've had 18 and 19. No issues. I always let my car fully warm up and and let it sit at idle for about 1-3 minutes after driving. I would suggest at least letting it warm up. Vortech states that the supercharger should not be run without letting the car warm up and run for about 3 more minutes. That way oil temps in the sc are good.
