So this morning after a small family dispute and being late to work i let my disarray get the best of me and i made a mistake.
Seconds (maybe even just a single second) after starting the car today my foot hit the accelerator and smashed the revs up to ~7k before i got off the pedal. It was a frigid mid 30s today and was concerned that the OPG didnt immediately shatter. I check out the car quick and dreading the worst but nothing seems out of place. I let it warm a bit then go off to work.
12 hours and one long work shift later i go to head home and think hmm the car seems a bit louder but it must because its cold out (30s - barely 50s all day) so i start on home. Its a 15 minute highway drive where i average 70mph or so. I get home and think hmm the car is still loud. I pop the hood and i feel the air rushing as the fan is on pretty damn high.
I check all temps on the dash, IAT is 52, cyclinder heads are 203, and oil temp is slightly below half on the gauge. I walk inside for a second thinking maybe something needs some cooling but still notice how loud the fan is, almost competing with the krona exhaust soundwise. A few minutes pass and nothing changes, i make the decision to let it sit the night and ill see what it does tomorrow morning during the day.
Did hitting those high revs when everything was so cold damage something? Is that fan activity in this cold normal and can it be related to the revs? Is there something else i can check or look out for, i also have an nguage to help diagnose. It is also lund tuned, i out that on during mid summer.
Thanks,
Matt
