M35 Thermo Fan Causing Low Idle

Recommended Posts

hi fellows,

i have HDi FMIC fitted with 2*12" thermo fans (controlled by davies craig digi thermo controller and IGN relay, not aircon reply.)

the problem is when the 2 thermo fans kick in when idle, then the idle will drop a bit with some vibration.

that's so annoying to me. any solution?

thanks guys

Factory ecu's which use thermo fans automatically raise the iac valve pulses to ensure a smooth idle when the fans turn in.

You don't have that.

I can suggest nothing, except put stock fan back on.

the problem is factory thermo fan working logic is not suitable for aussie hot day. :angry::angry:

Can you pull in staged; one, then the other?

It's the huge load pulling both in at once that does it.

yes, the logic of digi thermo controller is pull the 2nd one after 5sec. the low idle is happening when the 2 fans running together after kick in

Why are you running 2? All of us currently run 1 without cooling issues (and i live in qld and dint have issues in middle of summer).

just want to make the engine be more cooler. i will wire one to stock thermo switch that will kick in with ac on and high engine temp

    • This morning I carefully reinstalled the manifold and started looking at a couple of things I need to do.  Heat wrap arrived sometime today so I popped into the shed with the missus dishwashing gloves and started wrapping the first half of the dump and the screamer/plumb back.  Once I do the second half I'll be able to final fit the turbo and exhaust up.  Also pulled the harness out today and started terminating it at the ECU end. A connector is done, just need to run the remaining wires that arent in the harness - 12v, gnd and couple I/O
    • A31 is pretty much the same thing without HiAIDS I mean CAS, no improvement lol. Not to late to send it.
    • Thanks for all the replies! I also wanted to ask if wheels that were fitted on Ford Falcons would fit the 350GTs as well? In the area I'm at there aren't that many options for secondhand wheels and new ones here are way out of my budget. From what I've seen, most of the wheels that are available that were fitted on Ford Falcons have an offset of +33 to +36, with a centre bore of 70.5mm whereas the stock 350GT's ones are 66mm, can't seem to find any hubcentric rings that fit that difference though. 
    • 215/45/18 tyres are probably a little on the low side compared to the factory tyre, it should be closer to a 245/45/19, which will get you about an extra 11mm of height, and should make you speedo read a bit closer to reality. 245/45/19s will be a bit too far the other way and you risk a speeding ticket as your speedo might read slower than your actual speed.  245/40/19s would be correct if you are going to 19in rims, they will give you a similar total diameter to the 245/45/18 tyres.  
    • That's something I forgot to put in my list. The aggressive anti-squat in R32 is a f**king menace. I still need to decide if I'm going to drag the subframe out of my car and weld in the GKTech corrector kit. The main reason to dither is the need to switch to spherical joints in the lower arm to account for the twist induced in the rear pivot caused by lowering the front pivot. And yes...we do put better subframes in R32s, and I wish I'd gotten an S14 one instead of an A31 when I did the "take off and nuke it from orbit" HICAS delete all those years ago.
