Can you conversion guys tell me how your electric fans operate and if you've modified the air dam?
Put in my 15.5x28 Griffin radiator with 944 Turbo fans on a shroud. Crusin at 70 on the freeway the temp starts at 170 for 6 miles and creeps up to 195 when the fans come on and bring it back to 170. This continues to cycle like this both on the freeway and around town. I'm using a 160 Tsat until the cooling system is done. I ran with the lid off so I know the cuts in the wells are ok. So I figure I'm either blocking the airflow with the fans/shroud or the air dam need to channel the air in somehow. It doesn't seem to me like the temp should cycle like this. I'd like to hear how yours run. Thanks, Tyler '70 914/350/4 webers |
