The temperature you see on the gauge is the coolant temperature, what is more important is the oil temperature, which takes about twice as long to get up to temp as the coolant, so dont go by the temperature gauge as to how warm the engine is.
15 minutes after smoothly driving at the recommended coolant temp may help. Yeah, it is good to wait another 15 minutes after the temp is at the desired temp before pushing the car a bit harder :D

Its not a proper launch if you didn’t hold the rev and the break for at least 2 sec and 2000 rpm is good not risky like 3 or 4 and 1.500 is low for a launch its either 2 or 2.5 or near the 3
I said in the video that just because for me 1500rpm is best, doesnt mean you guys should too, depends on temperature outside, quality of the road and tires. In my test the road was dusty so tires where more prone to slip hence why I did it at 1500rpm, tried 2500rpm but huge wheelspin.
@@VuckoHD This is not called launch control. It's called brake boosting, although it's not very effective on a NA car. The car will limit revs to 2500 rpm because that's the limits of your braking system before it loses friction and you start moving. As you have bigger brakes with more friction, the revs will go down. Also holding revs instead of letting go while the rpm are climbing like you did, will not give you any benefits at all, or at least very little. By holding the rpms, you allow the suspension to compress and give you a better launch. The reason why you're spinning at 2500rpm is because you probably don't let the car suspension settle, and you have probably crappy tires. I have 500 treadwear tires and I don't spin (even on dusty streets where half of it is sand) unless I do some stupid shit such as pulling a u-turn at full throttle.
@@TienTran-kw3il Where did I say I'm using 'Launch control'? I didn't mention that at all but just showed how to launch an automatic car at higher revs, not 'brake boosting' like you said. Also I get what you mean by holding the revs and then let go but my launch was done at such low rpm and cars suspenssion is tight enough that you can see my car launch wasn't unsettled...it hooked up
@@mls.design some people prefer this method because they believe building boost and then full accelerating give you a better launch than only brake then release and accelerate

If you would have said the 200t was better I don’t think you would have gotten as much crap as you did lmao. I actually don’t recommend the 250 at all 🤣. There’s a reason they came out with the 200t anyway
Wait hang on.. I have an is250 as well, but I'm curious as I've never actually put it in S AND turned the ECT PWR mode on. Is this why your car " Auto shifts " at high RPMs even though it's displaying What I thought was 4th gear..? I've definitely changed it to S mode, but I usually end up using the paddle shifters to go up or down from 4th. But the gear changes on the display. HAVE I BEEN DOIING THIS WRONG ALL THIS TIME?
Nah fam I got one too and it’s just ecu programming likely to keep the trans from any possible damage. I do the same thing I use the paddles cause it doesn’t seem to hold the gears long enough even in sport and with ect
I found out it’s a gear limiter, not shifter- so if you put it on three at a light and hun it it will go to almost redline but once at third gear it won’t upshift
so ur telling me i can just throw it in sports mode put it on 6th gear and the car will automaticlly go up and down on gears? So Like if sports mode was just a button?
I wouldn't use the term "proper way to do it", since you're loading up your drivetrain while the brakes are keeping the car still which isn't really proper. All that strain is still going through your drivetrain and can damage it pretty severely over time...
@@TienTran-kw3il Negative. brakes aren't harmed while doing this because it's just a hydraulic clamp. Unless you're doing a brake stand (ie Burnout) and you're spinning the back wheels while the brakes are applied, then yes it would damage the brakes. What this does is lock the wheels, all the slop from the drivetrain is tightened up and the regular old auto transmission starts slipping itself. All the tension is still inside the drivetrain putting pressure on everything. Don't get me wrong, I do this shit too, and it's not like it will break the car right away. But it's definitely not proper. Either buy a car that has a dedicated launch control or get a manual if you want to be launching you're family sedan all the time.
Yes, they use a very soft front lower control arm bushing which is good for comfort but it does make the front tires wear hard. I've replaced the whole front end and partial rear end with spherical bearings for track use and it's not really a problem now, wouldn't recommend this for a daily though.
Yeah it’s like a warning light you can set it from 0-100mph idk how many kph but there is a red light that comes on at 100 mph and I don’t believe you can adjust that one the orange one you adjust with the button on the left of steering column that says set and has two arrows pointing left and right
Depends on your tires and road conditions. Got decent tires that are heated in dry conditions? Dump the traction. Got worn out tires or wet conditions? Use traction
Bruh come on. 1,500rpm? Realistically it's best if you can time it at 2-2,200 rpm. At least in the 350. With my 285 summer tires I can push 3k and barely get wheel spin.
