Electric fan controller

Man I don't want to hear that. LoL I had design problems on my last setup causing heat issues so I'm revamping it all. I hope it works out. It's not easy to find a fan that will fit in the tight space I have. This was the biggest thinnest fan I could find only 3". I didnt look at any spal fans though. I plan to wire it to run high speed only. I wanted the same controller the OP bought and I listed above but my budget is coming to an end on this car. So I went with a Derale preset temp. Contoller so I would still have the funds for subframe metal. My controller is preset to turn on at 180* then back off at 170*. Which at that temp it may never shut off during the summer here until the cars off.

Mine was set to come on at 190° and the Hayden controller will shut it off at a preset value below whatever it's max temp is ( not sure what the actual temp range is ) . Here in FL mine never shut off in traffic in the summer time, but would never run while out on the hwy at 60+ mph ( slant six with aluminum 22" radiator ). You should be fine either way, the original fan setup never shut off either :lol:

Pauly, I personally don't worry about the cooling after shutdown as only some newer cars even run the fan with the engine off. I may worry about it when I get the 360 running and see how much cooling it needs.



OH, And for those of you reading this and are thinking about just wiring the controller straight to constant power. Do not work on your car unless you unhook the battery as the fan could come on at ANY time.

I had mine wired that way for a couple of days during the "winter" here in FL while I was redoing some of the wiring.....the thing fired up the fan about 10 min after shutting the car off as the engine bay heat soaked...I can only imagine what would have happened if my arms were down in there.
