how is this done? havent heard of that before

im amazed at some of the stuff on the internet lmao

what exactly does LDBKR stand for anyways? it makes me think of: Learning Disabled Biker

my powerstroke is also oil cooled, hence my comment about watching EGTs....and were talking mainly about the SHO in this thread, since the comments started about FI cars (the sho being the only in this thread) not having timers, which is what prompted me to to mention that the SHO is liquid cooled. its listed in the manual to let the vehicle cool before shutting it off (oil cooled vehicles like our trucks and your probe), they shouldnt have to put timers on factory cars, people need to read their manuals. 30 seconds or less is sufficient for most types of driving to let the turbo cool before shutting off the vehicle....no need for several minutes, thats just excessive and in the case of the SHO, you dont need to idle it, pull up, put in park, shut it off...simple.

ok guys.... 1st - youre not going to overheat a turbo by idling 2nd - a timer isnt necessary at all, a lot of newer turbo cars are liquid cooled and use a pressure system that stays in effect after the car is shut off, and even have a fan system that kicks in a few mins after the car is shut off for final cooldown the SHO is one of these cars, you DO NOT need a timer because liquid cooled turbos dont bake like oil cooled http://www.insideline.com/ford/taurus/2010/2010-ford-taurus-sho-first-drive.htmlalso, a lot of people dont bother with timers because most people with turbo cars have an EGT gauge that they monitor before shut down...idle and let EGTs get into a nice cool range and then it off, sitting 5 minutes is not necessary unless youve been out beating on it for 6 hours straight, let EGTs get into the 300 range and shut it off...for my powerstroke, thats about 15 seconds of idle time on easy drives, and about a minute after 75+mph freeway trips or pulling a trailer at 70

ive never sped in my entire life

no arguments from me...itd take a lot to push a vmax to 168mph...even the new ones are solid 140 bikes, you can squeeze about 135 outta a gen 1
