  • manual fan

    Tomorrow Im installing my 160 degree thermostat and wiring manual fan switch in. I was just wondering what gauge of wire should i use for the manual fan switch dont want to burn the wire up from to much current.
    R\\T .270<br />60\' 2.561<br />1/8 10.910<br />1/4 16.858 @ 82.99<br />Bad day at track have better timeslip next (I hope).

    I used 22 and have had no problem. It doesn't have to be large, you can use 18 if you're worried about it.

      im not much of an electrician, but when i made mine, i used the prettiest wire i could find at the cheapest price. no clue what gauge it is. i don't think alot of current goes through it to b honest. i've had no problems either though. and it always makes people think i've got some top secret supercharger if i turn the fans on 2 seconds b4 i start the engine or leave them on 2 seconds after i cut it [img]graemlins/evilgrin.gif[/img]

          It will cool off your engine and a cooler engine should run a bit better. Let us know how you do. [img]smile.gif[/img]

              From the schematics I've seen posted online, there's not much current flowing through the wires since it only powers a relay. ;)
