hey all, i've just started doing some auto-X, and the setup that is run in the club that i am participating in basicly has you "hotlap" one run through the course after another with about 5 min in line. i am haveing problems with my car getting and running "HOT".
am looking for a few ways that i may improve my chance of not over heating my car.. i have a 95 st, w/ the 7afe. what i am lookin to do is, put a set of switches in the cabin, that will allow me to: in the "off" position, let the fan's operate as per normal. but when the switches are on the "on" position, the fans (both, one switch for each) will come on, and stay on till i switch it back. now, i do know a thing or two about electronics, but i have been unable to track down the wire's, for me to manualy close the loop, like im wanting to do.. thnx in advance for any advice or help. mandrek. -------------------- |

well, easiest way to do so imo would be to hook up a test light and when the fans turn on normal when the car gets hot see which wires have current, then when the fans are off and car running normal see which ones dont (see which wire needs power to turn fan on) then all id say to do is run your own power wire to splice into that junction so that way even if your power wire doesnt have current the switch from the thermostat or whatever will give it power.

It's really easy. Just put a normally closed switch in the line to the water temp sensor which is located on the coolant neck on the 7A: http://www.celicatech.com/vfewdsou/1995/95...ic/componen.pdf item W3 on page 31 - light blue wire. Under normal operation, the switch will allow the power from the relay ( very low amperage ) to the water temp sensor. Turn the switch on, and it breaks the connection - turning the fans on. -------------------- Scott
