how do i make the radiator fan stay on all time w/ign. on?
 

how do i make the radiator fan turn on using the ignition switch so it says on the whole time the ignition switch is on? ???

Just use a switch like I did. On/Off 8)

i remember hearing once all i had to do was connect 2 wires in the connector of the fan and that was it. i don't wanna do it using a switch, i want the fan to turn on when i turn on the ignition switch.

You can pull the plug off the connector on the thermostat housing and stick a paperclip in it or you can put a scotchlock on the two wires.

well i stripped both wires(without cutting) on the fan switch sensor conn. then i twisted them together and waraped some electrical tape on'em. i had a overheating problem. i gutted the thermostat and did the constant fans on and now it runs way cooler, even after a few hard runs in 3rd and 4th it stays at normal operating temp then falls down a bit if i don't get on it.

its not good too remove the thermostat. It can cause your coolant to flow to fast and it wont cool in the radiator like its suppose too, and you have no heat :-\.

i never thought about that. coldest it gets here is in the high 40s' and that'll only last 4 days at the most. i live in miami,florida.

Put a thermostat in it. Your motor was designed to run at "operating temperature". ;)

the way it is now, it gets to normal operating temp. after i run it real hard a few times. then if i just cruise, it'll be 1 line on the temp gauge below the normal operating temp. what happens if the engine ran a little cooler?isn't that better to prevent detonation. ???

well I am not sure what it does but I would suggest that if you can find the hottest thermostat you can that might be enough to just bring it up a little and be perfect. BTW what is you set up. Kinda sounds like you are running lean mabey.

Re:how do i make the radiator fan stay on all time w/ign. on?
 

Something to do with engine wear. I seen a graph once(it might have been a bullshit graph)where it showed metal wear at different temperatures. The wear was way higher in the colder tempertaures below operating temperature.

why do you say it's running lean?it was dyno tunned.vafc,255fp,fpr,and dsm 450s' for mgmt. i picked up a thermostat today. now, even after hard runs, the temp only goes upto 1/4 of the way at the most. stock it would be just a bit below halfway :-\the car rips though. ;D

to make the fan stay on with the ignition switch just take the green wire out of the temp sensor on the t-stat housing and ground it to the block. that way you dont have to worry about shorting out the fan relay. what i did was put an alligator clip on the wire so i could just unhook it if i didnt want the fan on.

Re:how do i make the radiator fan stay on all time w/ign. on?
 

that's how i did it. just striped both wires without cutting them, just stripping the insulation. then i twisted them together and insulated them. worked like a charm.
