Guest jaimesix Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 ok progress today i mocked the radiator up and made some mounts for it (need to drill holes)i have made a bracket and for the upper mount and my dad brought me a fan out of a 92 honda accord it fits like it was ment to be there it clears everything and moves more air then any other fan option i have all thats left is to plug the hole for the fan switch in the radiator get a lower hose make brackets for the fan bolt it down fill with coolent and im down the road pics of the mock up and fan this is the clearence between the fan and water pump Looks good, and you are right, adds clearance. Great move. :thumbup: Jaime._____________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment

bonvo Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 well its done but it runs hot when im sitting at a stop light it almost hits 3/4 of the gadge when im moving its fine around half a gadge though Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 my 620 runs like that but mine is hot on the freeway and cool at idle. from what i have been told these little L motors are beefy. it'll take the heat no problem. when was the t-stat done last? glad ya got it runnin. that switch was a perfect fit huh?? :D Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 that switch was absolutly perfect yeah i havent hit the freeway yet mine when im sitting at a light it gets warm but earlier tonight after ti cooled down some outside it never went over a half a gadge i think it was because it was 105 outside :D maybe i need to run a second fan Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 i have heard Sciroccos run a dual fan setup. also teh Taurus fans work well also from what i have heard. might want to look into that as well. i think those are pusher fans though..... Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted September 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 im gonna be looking into a few fans as time progresses but it actually hasent hit 3/4 yet its close but not there yet ill take her on the freeway tomorrow and see how she does there im seriously thinking its the high weather and the fan just cant move enough air Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 pretty much. just not enough air moving will cause it. but like i said 34 is still ok from what i have heard here. :) Quote Link to comment

zerow Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 more bad news now the damn thing isnt charging :mad: i cant win Check your voltage regulator and/or fusible link. Ask jaimesix, he had problems recently with his 710. PM him for more info. Quote Link to comment
bonvo Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 where is the fusable link at:confused: Quote Link to comment
Guest jaimesix Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Bonvo, just read about your issues. William is right, check this out: http://forum.ratsun.net/showthread.php?p=79148#post79148 This is the thread I initiated back when I had that trouble. I just wrote a final explanation about that issue for you to read. Check it out. There are pictures, feel free to ask about it. In my car's case, chaffed wire at the selenoid/starter , as well as an engine wire harness section shorting blew the fusible link away and simultaneously burned my Voltage Regulator. Since you have a blown Main Fuse , that means this is not a case of a simple alternator going bad, nor a VR gone bad. In either case, the fusible link does not have to blow up. The issue with the blown fuse tells of a short. Since you have connected your electric fan, make sure everything is connected well, as well as insulated against chaffing. Make sure that fan is compatible with your car's electrical system. Perhaps you need a relay for that fan, check those issues. I doubt you have other wires involved, because all this happened after you changed the fan for an electrical one, but since you had that unfortunate traffic accident, perhaps you left a wire loose and shorting out, so check you fan connections as well as all wires you have worked with during your body operations. Most probable, your VR went bad, but before you buy one, take your alternator off the car and have it tested, so you can be sure the alt is not the problem. Done that, alt off the picture, zero in on the VR and cable/wires shroting. take care of any posible shorting wires BEFORE you install a new VR, or else you will blow the new VR itself. later.....
