Memo to self: When installing any intercooled FI system on a vehicle with e-fans, be sure to devise a means for turning on the fans whenever the system is in boost.

 

I just run my fan all the time. As long as the fuel pump is running anyway.

 

I was worried about getting my new elec fan to come on and off properly and DOHHH, it never occurred to me to just leave the freaking thing on! I'll just hard wire it to the Radix pump.

 

Thanks for the reminder! PS, how hard of a lesson was it?!?

 

Use a relay. The fuse on the fp probably can't hold the fan too. Just thought i'd clarrify that since you didn't.

 

Seems like everytime I think I'm making progress somebody comes up with one like this that makes me say "Yep, better do like he says".
And...

 

Well, the system usually is not into boost until the vehicle is in motion unless you have high stall converter? Then you dont really need the fans on as the air passing thru from the vehicle motion will cool it....?

 

Not that hard. Nothing broke. It's just that I was noticing some rather high IAT's and was wondering what was the cause? Then it dawned on me...
