Electric fan thermo switch temperature advice

[Sambo]

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?

The one I put in my Samurai was on 92 off 82 and it was spot on 

Hope that helps

You'll want the "off"  slightly higher than the thermostat temperature.

Thanks @kpr. That's exactly what I needed.

Keen to see how you get on. I wouldn't mind ditching the mech fan on my d21 either.

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.
