Overheating, suggestions?

[Jack]

Pete, I think you should make the shroud anyway. Especially for the street.

 

[Scott Rowland]

The shroud will make the fans more effective. Instead of having fans tight to rad surface on only pulling air through the fan dia itself, the shroud will lift fans off core and draw air through entire surface instead. It's kind of a big deal. lol

 

[Jack]

Yep! A minimum of 3/4" to a two-inch offset should be okay.
The shroud needs to be sealed around the radiator too.

 

[Howard Jones]

This seams to work very well.

Just ordered some Maradyne fans. Anyone need some stock fans?

 

[Garry 20 B]

Pete, just get enough CFM, if Allan has the fan that works, you can believe in that, he has the most experience in this department.

 

[PeteB]

I ordered the fans Allan recommended.

 

[Michael Crowley]

Mike, I think your car is wired the way a lot of Allan's cars are, which is that if either the AC request or the ECM request for fan is on, both fans are powered.

This is easy to do- you just tie both fans to both outputs, so if either one is on, both are powered.

Mine is that way, too.

My System is set up so that when you turn on the AC, one of the radiator fans come on, the other fan turns on when engine reaches 205. The person who charged my system says that both fans need to come on when the AC turns on. How do you wire that up so the engine temperature fan comes on even when the AC is off?

Are you running the Infinitybox system? If so, you can send the control module over to them. I had them program mine to have both fans come on with either AC and/or engine temp trigger.

Hi Mark. Yes I have the Infinity Box system that came with the SLC in 2013. I was hoping to find a solution without having to disassemble and ship.

 

[PeteB]

Just bypass the Infinity Box and run the fans from the ECU and A/C trinary switch.

Damn Pete, that sounds easy. Unfortunately I pull teeth for a living so winging it on the wiring front is pretty scary for me. Thanks for the advise.
