Background; 03 Eaton swapped. Start to overheat after about 10-15 minutes full blast on the road coarse. No issues with street driving. Not full blast overheating, just slowly rising as a result of the cooling system unable to keep up with the engines output. 170* Reishce t-stat, P71 oil cooler MartyO remote tune.
On the street, coolant temps will first rise to the 170, stay for a little while, then rise to the 185-95, unless I am cruising the freeway, where it may stay closer to 170, oil temps stay about the same. All of which makes sense since everyone I have talked to says the Panther fan cannot be reprogrammed to a different temp.
On the track first oil temps will rise over 200, then coolant temp begin rising over 200, at which point I back it down to 7/10 for a few laps and she cools back down.
So anyway, I am working on a few other projects to help the cooling issue (improved intercooler, CAI, ect) but was thinking about replacing the fan controller with an aftermarket controller with a coolant sensor that I would likely mount on the t-stat housing or coolant inlet.
Anyone using one they like? tried any that did not work well? another thought? I would love to setup the fan to run at a proper 170-180 temps.
