I searched and couldn't really find my answer...

Anyone know what the stock fan turn on temperature is?

I looked at an e mail I had from Lidio, 210 degrees.

210F for low speed, and about 218F for high speed.

I am gonna do some tests once I get my new pump installed. I want to figure out which wire (at the fan harness connector) does what, and when. I firmly believe that a switch/relay device can be installed to provide 12vdc and run the fan at ones request while say sitting with the motor off at the track.

I haven't had time to look closely at the harness, but I recall seeing 3 or more wires at the connection. Perhaps there are separate loads for each speed and a common return?

Anyone done this research yet? I mean beyond what we have already posted in other threads?

I had mine changed to 190 turn-on temperature with my latest program.

The electric pump runs with the key in the "run" position, I would assume something could be wired up to switch the fan on also. Either an "on" or a "normal" setting with a two position switch. That would cool the water in the radiator but it won't change the engine temp since the thermostat is closed. I suppose cooler water in the radiator would keep the engine cooler longer though. I have noticed mine is a little rough running if I leave the water pump on too long in the staging lanes, it's as if it needs to be warmed up at least a little bit to run right.

Mine is currently set to turn on at 200F and off at 194F. High speed fan is set on at 210F.

I have not run into a cooling issue at the dragstrip. :duel:
