SPAL Fan Controller - can't wait to install
Underhood heat has been a bear since installing headers. I found the SPAL FAn Controller that allows full ECU control of fan functions, but then supplements with earlier-on setting, as well as lower-temp off setting. (At whatever temps you select)
I farted around for too long and it went out of production. Today I picked-up a brand new one (as well as 2 used ones) on Ebay. Very jazzed to get it installed.... SPAL USA |
Did you have the headers wrapped to keep in the exhaust heat? Maybe put on some aftermarket wrapping or a heat shield to keep your electrics from dying prematurely. :) Have any pics of the headers? Any difference in power or sound?

Using wrap in a climate with regular wet weather is a major mistake. It is an invitation to rust/rot. Wrap manufacturers often warn against street use. Unfortunately I didn't realize the 'ceramic coat' was just a ceramic powder coat at the time of install...
Definitely a change in sound. Borderline what I consider acceptable. I don't want to sound like a 20 yr old with a fart can on a Civic. |
Can you fab up a heatshield by chance? Or maybe just shield the electrics? That is one NICE looking header setup :)

What 'electronics'? My problem is overall underhood temps. This controller will allow me to set the fan to come-on when I want, most likely about 200. Then shut-off when I want, probably about 190.
