IS THERE A WAY TO KEEP FAN ON ALL THE TIME ?

[GOOBER]

I WANT TO KEEP THE FAN ON ALL THE TIME NOW,BECAUSE I HAVE A CIVIC RADIATOR WITH A SC B18C MOTOR , AND AFTER DRIVING IT,THE FAN COMES ON MORE OFTEN AND STAYS ON EVEN AFTER I'VE STOPPED AND PARKED IT,AND IT DIDN'T DO THIS BEFORE.

WOULD WIRING THE FAN TO STAY ON ALL THE TIME HELP THIS AND IS THERE ANY REASONS WHY I SHOULDN'T KEEP IT ON ALL THE TIME.

THANKS

Goober,

You can do two things. First, you can wire your fan to a switch so that you can turn the fan on/off when you desire.
Second, you can buy a dual row radiator that will "Bolt in" to your factory location (It even has the larger openings for the GSR hoses) to give you more coolant capacity. I have an extra one if you would like it. Cost is $259.00 plus freight.

I directly wire my switch to the relay in the fuses box. That way I can bypass the relay and when my switch is off, the fan can also start by itself when my engine is getting hot. Now the only thing that is missing is that the fan turn itself on when my turbo timer is activated.

As for your radiator, it maybe not needed but it's a security. You can buy a DelSol one, double row, direct fit. I bought mine from a radiator shop for $180 CND, and it's made entirely in metal.

Making the fan blow all the time, makes it blow when it's needed and not needed. So why have it blow when it's not needed? What you need is better cooling, when the fan is on. I think the radiator upgrade is the solution.
Also, double check your coolant/water ratio. The "coolant" has a high boiling point but is a poor conductor of heat. The water conducts heat well, but boils at low temperature. Too much of either will cause overheating. That's why you aim for a 50/50 mix.
There's also a new alternative to ethylene glycol that may cool your engine better. I can't remember the name of it.

If you spend much time in stop/go traffic... I strongly recommend it. Most of my driving is done on the Interstate... yet too many people around here can't drive, and quite often I am sitting still on the Interstate waiting. This is when you will overheat: when you aren't moving. I wouldn't have done it myself if I didn't think that there was a good reason to do so.

to keep the fan on allt he time when the ignition is turned on, unplug the two prong plug fromt he fan switch (near throttle body and at the bottom where the top radiator hose connects to on the head). Stuff a paper clip in the two plug contacts and tape with electrical tape.

vtec4gs: can you please be a little more specific? if you unplug the connector to the fan, then there's NO POWER going to it so jumping the conector won't do anything?? please specify,thanks..
