Re: another cheap electric fan build!

Is anyone running this with AC?
I'm still not cooling the way it should and I'm beginning to think I have a radiator issue. When its only about 75-80* it gets up to about 200* in traffic.
Thats with a lead connected to the ac unit so the fan runs constantly when the ac is on (gotta have It flowing through the condenser to keep the high side pressure in check). I think I'll run a smaller fan on the condenser to run when the ac is on.

Also with the ac on high and the fan running mine drops to 12V at idle. What alternator are you all running. Mine is new but factory spec. I think 60-70 amp. Anyone know of a high amp unit that fits? part number?

Ok, now some positive info.

I decided to go with a adjustable thermostat. They were nearly $70 at my local parts store. Found one at Autozone for $35 and its a nice unit and easy to wire and includes the ac override which can be used for the ac or hooked to a toggle for a manual over ride. TorqFlo part# 733647. This is the radiator probe type.

Also here is a site with some good relay wiring schematics.
