Re: E-Fan controller option
Yea, these motors and similar LSx all run 205-210 normal operating temp. They definately radiate the heat...that doesn't mean its doing any damage or operating wrong.
If your motor is shut down and you contunue to run the fans pulling air through the radiator...(i'm just throwing this number out, no factual data) Id be suprised if you were cooling down the system at 5% of the cooling capacity its capable when running. You will not be circulating any fluid through the block. You would only be cooling the fluid trapped in the radiator. You'd probably be better off pointing a fan at the engine block directly blowing air over what your trying to cool. Its the circulation from the hot enging to the cooler radiator is what does the job.
I hate seeing people spend unnecessary money or pissing it away on something that doesn't work as intended. Add in the electric water pump w that setup and it will do it.
Still thats alot of money...and I'd still say get a Ron Davis radiator over this entire setup. Search the forums for others that have that radiator, see if you can get a reply out of them how they like it...It really sucks the heat out of the 6 liter and so much more effecient than stock.
