Sambo Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 I want to convert my D21 to run an electric fan, just because. I've found a whole bunch of thermo switches that will fit the available hole, but I'm not sure what temperature range I want. It's a bog stock Z24 engine (carb, sohc, low as anything compression). It does do a bit of sitting in traffic and the odd light thrashing etc, like any daily driver. Everything seems to be available in the right format from 'On 85 - Off 80' through to 'On 105 - Off 100'. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mof Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 The one I put in my Samurai was on 92 off 82 and it was spot on Hope that helps 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 You'll want the "off" slightly higher than the thermostat temperature. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 Thanks @kpr. That's exactly what I needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 Keen to see how you get on. I wouldn't mind ditching the mech fan on my d21 either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sambo Posted February 28, 2021 Author Share Posted February 28, 2021 I wasn't planning to do it immediately. I just have a hole in the cooling system that needs a bung and I thought I might as well put the correct thingo in the whatsit to save draining coolant later. It doesn't actually look very hard though, so maybe I will do it soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
