Should turn on the aircon fan when the coolant gets too hot.

That was my intention too. but is it connected to the ecu?

I´m asking because the AC is completely removed and I need a location for a temp sensor to controll the Spal fan.

Have you got the wiring diagram? I only have the R32 one, which would very likely be the same, but I wouldn't bet on it. I don't have it here and I'm too busy at 17:30 on a Friday to dig through it anyway - End of the week means I have to start doing the work that should have gotten done on Tuesday!

I´m not sure. Can´t find something about this sensor.

Yuh, looks like it goes through pin 6. I know nothing about Links. Fair to assume they don't care about the niceties of last ditch engine cooling, in favour of more injectors!

I think so. Just wrote a mail to Link tech support. Let´s see what comes around ;)

Pin 6 switches to ground determined by your thermo temp cut in / out range in software and your radiator thermo switch is in series with that input. Just reassign that input that is wired to pin 6 to thermo control. If you want to switch it on lower than what the thermo switch is the switch loom needs to be bridged, so you could turn on at say 80deg C for example, which is lower than the radiator switch closes at.

I´ve already installed a control unit for my electric fan which is independent of the ECU. But the temp sensor of the control unit is located in the drain plug of the radiator.

So if the Link ECU don´t care about the stock A/C fan temp sensor I would like to use this location for my temp sensor of my electric fan control unit ;)

But unfortunately I´m still waiting for an answer from Link

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
