    L322 Viscous Fan Speed

    Yes and all of them that use electric fans have oversized radiators as a result. Its not about whether im listening to him or not, im just saying i dont agree with him, i dont think its going to work for my situation and im providing facts as to why i dont think its going to work.

    L322 Viscous Fan Speed

    Im not sure why you are calling the viscous fans unreliable. All the P38 fans that ive read of not working where all just 20 years old and failing. Thats to be expected, you just replace them with the actual borg warner and they last another 20 years. All the L322 fans where also either just...

    L322 Viscous Fan Speed

    So controlling the fan wont be a problem, im going to be getting all the info like coolant temp and engine RPM and road speed from the OBD 2 port and feeding that to my "fan control board". I cant seem to find where i read that about the L322 fans. The P38s though i personally know of 2 cars...

    L322 Viscous Fan Speed

    So the L322 fan is currently on my P38 and i have a little control board with a PID algorithm and i can request a fan speed and then the board engages the solenoid to hold the fan at the requested speed. Ive only been brave enough to take the fan upto 2500RPM and it gets ****ing loud and i get...

    L322 Viscous Fan Speed

    The Fan exploded on my brothers P38 and we've bought a second one in the meantime that has the same marks in the bonnet of the fan exploding. But in the L322 workshop manual its specifically mentioned that a car with a siezed viscous must not be driven because of the exploding fan.

    L322 Viscous Fan Speed

    Yeah I just want to know if there is someone out there willing to check what the max RPM is on the L322 fan and what the PWM frequency is on the fan solenoid.

    L322 Viscous Fan Speed

    @Datatek ive read about your mod. Ive decided against it and rather for the electro viscous fan. Reasoning I dont want that extra load on the alternator. Im guessing those AC fans are around 30amp draw and then the largest SPAL i can fit is another 40 amp. So extra 70 amp almost constant draw in...

    L322 Viscous Fan Speed

    Ive joined this forum just to be able to post here. Ive got a P38 with the bi-metalic viscous fan and im in the process of fitting the elctro viscous from a 4.2 sc L322 to the p38. Ive got 3 main reasons for doing this. - Increased fuel effiency form a better fan blade design and having way...
