Would I be wasting my time?

[isaiah3g]

If I ran my fan wires for the radiator to a power supply that would turn them on as soon as the car had power?

Just thought I'd ask this stupid question,because....well,I ride the short bus.:shifty:

then your fan will die prematurely for running consistently

 

[isaiah3g]

ahhh....I see. like I said,the short bus....its good for me!

On top of that your coolant tempature would take forever to get to the operating temp giving you lowered MPG's and cooler heat on those cold winter mornings.

i sort of remember reading somewhere that Geno runs his fans all the time,either that or he has them run on high once they start, cant remember for sure.

 

[jrherald420]

That really serves no good.

Change your tstat for a lower temp one and have u computer run the fan at 180 instead of 220

He has an aftermarket rad ( griffen ) and I think a differnt fan. It keep his temp reall low he posted a pic of his temp reading after a few hrs of riding.

the computer will not turn the fan on unless the temp is 215 or the AC is running-the computer turns off the fan at 200. Thermostat will not, in hot weather, change operating temps-when the thermostat opens at 160 it is fully open at 172, when a 188 opens it is FULLY open at 200-so you are just introducing cooler coolant with a 160, but the fan will not run until the temperature sensor gets to 215 and the temp sensor provides that information to the ECM which commands the VCRM to make the fan do it's thing.
Sniper tuners CLAIMED to give you the ability to adjust the ON/OFF for the fan settings, but it was bull:q:q:q:q-a scam, nada. I have a 160 thermostat in now, today it was 93 degrees, in traffic I still got to 215 without the AC running while sitting in traffic, my so-called tuner does NOT change the settings like the bull:q:q:q:q SNIPER 'tuner' (that's funny) claims....I bought a JY fan out of a 93 and am going to wire it up to a toggle and relay so that I can MANUALLY turn my fan on when I sit in traffic in hot weather, since my bull:q:q:q:q SNIPER tuner does not do this...

Duh in order to have the ecu change colling fan temp is to get a tune how else are you going to make the ecu change the fan operating temp.
And maybe do a water pump change. A cobra I think run better I think

I think I'll just let this stand on it's own merits, or lack thereof...
