Re: Lower temp fan switch

Hi guys, i'm a newb with an 01 RC51, i will definately do this mod later. but about the sp-2 i have a suggestion. With my LS1 firebird which also ran hot i changed the thermostat and more importantly, when i had a custom dyno tune done i had the program the fan to turn on at a lower temp.

wouldn't that mean that a power commander should be able to change this setting, i would know about that though cuz i dont have one.

Does anyone do custom dyno tunes on RC51's and if so do they do it to a powercomander or straight to the computer like on my car?

someone already brought that up. The logic for the fan control is in the engine ECU.

You can buy a variable in-line device which changes the signal going into the ECU and it will fake out the ECU making it think it's 218 when its really only 195 or whatever you choose to set it to.

i'm going to put a thermal probe with an adjustable fan controller and relay in over the winter. it just bypasses the computer completely and i'll be setting mine to kick in at 205 and shut off at 195.

Re: Lower temp fan switch

Just got the sensor and put it in the bike. Fan comes on at 185 and stays on until the temp is back down to 170. Along with engine ice this should make an big difference.

Thanks for the new found mod !!!
