How many times have you heard of a LS engine putting a spark plug through the hood? Just shy of none.

Something similar happened to me when a 7" flapwheel kicked back and hit me in the chest. Left a nice burn mark diagonally across my stomach and chest.

Post'em up. My Beetlejuice last year.

Uh, you sir, might, uh, have the wife "checked"..

Slow learner?

The magic is the fans. The $200 is just one way to control them.

That is correct. I think Spal says you can control 10-12 fans off one sensor. However, the reason for not doing this with a standard brushed fan is inrush current. One these fans this inrush can be double the operating current. That's tough on your electrical system. Brushless fan start...

I know exactly where it is. I didn't say is wasn't done, I just wouldn't recommend it personally.

Using the cooled side of circuits like this can detrimental, and not optimal. Especially in a circuit that DOES use relays. This can often cause it to cycle more frequently. In some cases it could weld the contacts in the relay from rapid switching. The HOT side is typically more stable and...

If computer has PWM outputs it can control it with a standard temp sensor input versus the Spal sensor. The Spal sensors have a narrow temperature band, and they are expensive. However, they do allow for basically a standalone install if a car was being retrofitted and didn't have the option...

Is the Delphi ecu used capable of PWM fan control? Or, is it energizing and deenergizing the override wire at the temps noted above? Even if the override wire is used as "control", these fans still have a somewhat soft start.

The way I understand this, the Oversight committee's report is more of an opinion piece requesting the DOJ's attention. So, you would be correct in "nothing will happen" until a body with actual authority steps in.

100% this. Remove the relays and upgrade wire direct to the battery.

Tighter temp ranges makes the circuit cycle more. That is what kills the components. on/off/on/off/.....
