Advise on Electrical Fan
i'm doing an electric fan setup in my FC....any advise from u guys as to what setup i can run in regards to some kind of temperture automatic turn on feature, so it doesn't have to run constantly when not needed?:Wconfused
|
just wondering, why?
and run a relay to switch it on and off. theres a how to on aaron cakes website. google it. |
because having it on and off causes two problems....one...if you forget to turn it on...two drains the battery...badly draws too much amps
|
I wouldn’t it’s just a waste of money up front, you wont get any gain, and it will shorten your battery life. You shouldn’t need the fan if your running stock even with a port you only really need one when your running major horse and/or a 20B conversion. Stick with stock fan.:)

i've already started the setup, took out the stock fan, and installed electric one. |

Most autoparts stores sell relay kits that have either adjustable sensors, or standardized sensors like 185 or 195*. They use a probe that goes in your radiator fins. Personally, I would buy a GM or aftermarket temp switch that completes a ground at ~190* and use it to complete the ground on the relay. It could easilly be mounted in the thermostat neck or waterpump housing. Right now, I have my Taurus fan running the low power off of a 40A relay. I ran the relay ground to the cockpit and mounted a toggle between the relay and a bolt on the shifter. It works well given that I actually remember to turn it on, but Im used to it now.
