So I was in the shower and had an idea. In this 100+ degree weather my IAT's are around 150 degrees once my car is fully warmed up and I've been driving around...and that's WITHOUT the belt on. (they were around that same temperature even when I had the Euro-R IM manifold) So my idea is, instead of the having the fans come on only when the water temp reaches 206, how about rewireing them to where they stay on ALL the time. Basically, I'd just wire them into a 12 volt source that came on once the ignition was on and vice versa. For example, I'll sit at a stop light, and my water temp will reach 206, and then my fans will come on, cool the water temp off to 195, IAT's will drop to around 140, and then they shut off. I'm thinking that if they ran constantly, it would really help keep the IAT's significantly lower. I tried raising my hood (installed 4 washers between the hinge and the hood) and that only helped to keep it about ten degrees cooler. What do you guys think?
