Fan Wiring

 

damn, your car will be a cool running car even in the heat of Vegas!

 

I hope so. It's already 110+ here

 

I did a Koyo radiator 3 weeks ago and in our desert heat noticed a hude difference in daytime performance. Put in a Stillen oil cooler 3 days ago and havent take it out midday yet. Also have a Nismo thermostat in and the Forged Performance rear cooling mod.

 

OP, you got gauges to keep tabs on the temps?

 

Arg. I forgot about that one. I should be ok without it though, but I need to keep it in mind for later.
I was thinking oil temp gauge in the voltmeter. I can atleast keep an eye on water temps on the stock gauge.

This might be a really dumb question and I have not research at all: If I have Oil, Tranny, and Water temp sensors, is there anyway to make a hub/switch and route all the info into one gauge allowing me to change the setting on the hub to direct a different signal?

 

If you haven't installed the fans yet I would return it and buy Sharif's(Forged Performance) new upgraded fans and custom radiator shroud. You can search for the recent thread on his setup.

 

I saw that but did they figure out if they will fit with the Vortech piping?

 

Get a PLX DM-100 and two temp sensor modules. That will allow you to monitor 4 temps all at the same time AND set alarms for specific temp thresholds. I have plx wideband and EGT sensors, one for each exhaust bank.

plxdevices.com

 

Subbed for info. Implanning on doing some of the same mods to the cooling system.

 

I saw the setup. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, I had to order the FAL fan. We should be finishing up the car today. It looks like with the thick AMS and the FAL fan, I'll be able to run the vortech just fine. It's tight, but it does fit.

 

I'll look into that Asap. Thanks

 

Nice shopping list...congratz!

I've had the itch to so some cooling mods lately so keep us posted.

 

We didn't quite finish today. We needed some different fittings for the tranny cooler and weren't able to get to the store in time. We plan on finishing on Tuesday. We still have to attach the tranny cooler hose once we pick up the new fittings. Afterwards, we need to do all of the fluids(Coolant, Oil, PS) and wire up the fan. The fan is being researched by a couple of people here to make sure we wire it correctly.

-We have the AMS radiator in with the FAL fan attached. Even with the THICK AMS, we found the width of the setup to be about the same thinkness as the stock radiator and fan.
-We had to uninstall the Vortech Bracket to get the Nismo thermostat in. Afterwards, we had to do some cutting on the Samco Hoses, specifically the hardline to hardline across the VQ hose.
-We rerouted the vortech oil return line to the front of the car where there are no rubbing issues.
- The mocal oil adapter needed some fittings. We were able to pick up these fittings as well as just about any other fittings/hoses from Checkers/Schucks/Kragen/Murrays autoparts. Oil cooler is mounted on the driver's side right behind the reflector.
-Tranny cooler is mounted on the passenger side right behind the reflector.

Side note: THANKS!! to my mechanics I8acobra and terrasmak. I'd like to have been more helpful, but being sick and working on the car in the heat just isn't going too well for me.
We'll have pics after everything is done.

 

Good news Stan (and everyone else who wants aftermarket fans), I may have figured out the fan wiring. If it works, I'll post up a new thread with a wiring diagram.

 

You can put the 3 sensors must be exactly the same sending units ! just put a 3 way switch and chose the one you need to watch each time.

Edit: Congrats on the process man i`m living in the same environment but with 110 at early morning time and 125+ at afternoon :P wow thats half of whats happening inside of the boiling water :P

 

^ Cool. I will look into this.

 

Do you please recommend PLX DM-100 over Autometer Nexus ? i`ve calculated the cost of both and i`ve found that the difference is only 150$ for my needs and on PLX i can add more sensors later.

Sorry for hijack OP

 

^ No worries. I'm curious as well.

 

I have 1 dm-100 display and 4 sensors, 2 EGT and 2 Wideband A/F. I'm really happy with them, not a single problem. The neat thing about them is how they communicate with each other for alarms, like setting boost (I don't currently have boost sensor) greater than 3 psi and A/F greater than 15 as an alarm setting. They are still pretty new, supposed to have a data logger soon as well as OBDII connector. Ultimatly I plan on replacing all 3 gages in the pod with 3 DM-100's and adding to what I already have the data logger, OBDII, Fuel pressure, oil pressure, water temp, oil temp, boost pressure, IAT before I/C and before MAF and maybe trany and Diff temps as well.

I do like the autometer gages and they daisy chain data the same way but the PLX displays look pretty trick and you can design them to look however you want them to, the down side to the plx display is the direct sunlight can really make reading them HARD. They do sell a hood to give them some shadow which should help to a great extent but for me it's never been a real issue as I don't race my roadster.
