Hot weather VS Renesis warm up
Hi guys. When the car is inside the garage and we start the engine, it takes a couple of minutes for the temperature needle to go up to the middle mark. I don't go full force until the engine is warm enough. The question is , if I leave the car outside, temps around 90F, it takes seconds for the needle to go up to the middle point instead of minutes. Does having the car and engine warm from the sun compensate for those initial minutes of normal (inside garage,shade)minutes that the car is bypassing because is hot from the sun?. Is the car ready for WOT or is just a fake temperature and I should wait a couple of minutes ?
Thanks

That makes a lot of sense. Always wondered about it. I was never going to WOT the car till I was sure about the mechanism of ambient temperature on the cold renesis.

So because of the metal expansion due to heat production, does the actual volume of the engine expands and have more space for the gases to expand producing more energy coming out of the engine? If so, is the 1308 cc based on a cold or hot engine?
