Heat Exchanger without Tune?

[orangesvtbb]

Said I would post a pic when I had a chance so here it is. Only mods are Michelin Super Sport Tires and 15% tint :-D

I want to save up for a TVS and not even bother buying pulley/tune yet. I wanted to start with a heat exchanger and thermo/cooling mods but it sounds like you need a tune to get the fans to kick in at correct temps? Would buying those be pointless or harmful without a tune?

I know these engines are pretty much bulletproof, but I have a phobia of wanting to keep the warranty for a bit at least until I get some miles on the car to see if anything does actually break and then mod the piss out of it.

Thanks

I still can't see your picture. You don't need a tune for a heat exchanger. Your stock HE doesnt have any fans so adding fans will not be an issue.

you can change your thermostat and not need a tune either

Yes it has been done before. I've got them in stock and available to ship. Give me a call for special package pricing which includes a TSTAT, Reservoir and the heat exchanger.

Thanks

Tune can control the radiator fans, but that is different from the aftermarket fans on the H/E.

Popular set up for the H/E fans is to tie in the relay trigger to the IC water pump power wire.

That ensures your H/E fans are running when needed, and it also means they are running when not needed...... A manual switch can be installed, or a temp sensor can be installed.

This is a great option, as all three items work together....

Love mine so far :beer:

And Van is an outstanding vendor to deal with.

The fans will turn on when the intercooler pump turns on, so there is a benefit even on a stock PCM. A tune can lower the temperatures that both come on, but it will still be a benefit without lowering those temperatures.

Cool thanks for all the info guys! That sucks about the pics. I will see if I can host them somewhere when I get home from work.

Thanks Van - Based off everyone's high opinion of you and me reading these forums, you were the first one I was going to call I need to get some money put together first though haha
