johnny b... so you just wedged the negative wire inbetween the relay and the fuse box? you just jammed it down there?


have you thrown any CELs?


what happens if you turn the switch on when the car is on?

 

Doc you beat me to it I have all these (and the redline forum ones too) in my favorites!!! WopOnTour explained this pretty thouroughly (sp). I'm actually running the wires as we speak....or type....well actually I'm on a break. Engine goes in tonight!!!!!!!

BTW Doc you have an e-mail

 

You have a reply, with a few files.

 

i guess im still kind of confused...



Any way i can have these wires permanantly connected... so i can daily drive it normally...


get out of my car, flip the switch to turn the fans on and the intercooler pump on.



Then a little bit later, hop in the car, turn off the switch and drive away with a much cooler motor...


also, if i am in traffic... just flip the switch to turn the fans on???


Can i do all that and not mess anything up? (ie flipping the switch while the car is on already.. will that mess up the IC pump??)

 

Read the thread I linked.....not sure about how it would work during driving, but I am gonna have to steer you away from that.

 

yah thats all i want to do as well, hook up a switch so my fans and IC pump run full bore while my car is off and turn the fans off when i go to start up my car. I kinda understand the wiring but im not to good at it.

 

well its seems like what i am looking for, johnny did....

right?

 

Thanks for your help guys. I think I will just rig something up and leave the switch under the hood so I don't have to run wires anywhere just for the track day. I will take a jumper pack along too, might just hook it up while I leave the fans on for the batterys sake. I could just run the wires into it instead ha ha, never thought of that.

 

1) yes i wedged the wire in there(18 gauge is thin wire)
2) no, and i hope i dont
3) the switch will already be on when the car is on, b/c of the h/e pump kicks on.

 

all this talk of jamming and wedging bare wire in/around your fuseblock?....you guys are crazy.

 

^not really, i let you guys now if something bad happens...lol

 

Well i did this mod today... Johnny B's way..



i must say.. the car never reached 180*F while cruising... it was always 178*F or below.


The fans are always on when the car is started, and you can control it while it is off


One good thing i noticed was.....

I got the car up to 180* sitting in my driveway... the AC was off and it did not go above 180* even while sitting there for 5 minutes.

I turned the car off and flipped the fan/intercooler switch

I went inside and took a 10 minute shower.

Came back out and started the car... the temps were at 160*

Not bad at all for sitting for only 10 minutes

 

you need an interceptor.
your IAT2 temp is where youll see the big results....
and gain the most power.

 

my LS1m (grand prix and LS1 scanner) might be able to read that.. ill check another time

 

well your intercooler pump is goin right? so your intake temps are whats gonna be affected....
thats where we lose all our power anyway, heatsoaking from the blower.
your coolant pump would have to be going to get the benefit in your engine coolant temps

 

i might have to do this tomorrow.

 

hmm ill have to try this aswell, seems easy enough and i could put it all together before the track if i wake up early 2mm.

hey syp how did you do it? or actually are you coming up to gld 2mm?

 

glad to hear that it worked well for ya.

ps the water pump does NOT have to been on to benefit... if the fans are ON, then start the car the coolant in the radiator will be cooler than just sitting in the radiator. so when the car warms up and the thermostat opens cooler coolant will be pumped into the motor = cooler motor (which is great for the track)...

 

so when you rig this up, if the car is running and the switch is OFF, the fans are still on? even if the AC isnt on?

 

yah i understand that.
but the IAT2 is gonna see the most benefit because it has coolant flowing.

IF you were to get the engine coolant flowing too.....that would really drop the coolant temps.

 

Actually the CAC pump run is VERY important during hot soak. This allows the Laminova cores in the intake manifold to be significantly cooled. Eventually the entire intake acts as a big heat sink for the supercharger and IT gets cooler too!

Fans+Pump@engine OFF=best results

^^ give this fella rep

Thanks again for the info from that other thread wop. i love this mod.

 

i was talk'n about the water pump for the motor, which is belt driven i believe. the way i was talking about is the ic pump for the h/e... im uploaded a video now.... maybe then we can all be on the same page.

ps i dont know what a CAC pump is, is that the ic pump. if your talking about the pump for the motor that wouldnt work bc that thermostat would close when temps get below 180

 

LOL OK...
