    can you please make a video explaining how to properly use the green wire bypass the relay for people who don't want to use a probe and just want the fan to come on when the car is on

    Jesus Christ people, chill the hell out! This is obviously just a FYI to give people a quick idea how it's done. I didn't know we were watching a full on build video that's a month long detailing every little part of a build...
    To Mishimoto, Great jobs guys, keep up the great work.

    Finally the first kit that uses the reading to turn on the fan from the cold side. Other than the shotty worksmanship during the install i am definitely liking this much better than the flexalite controllers that put the sensor on the hot side.

      Google Email You want the radiator to do its job and only its job. As soon as you add other stuff such as the engine temp to the equation everything starts mixing up since now you have the thermostat doing a different job, then you have the engine and the ecu doing a different job so you get 3-4 different systems all working in eachothers way. Long story short the fan turns on at the wrong times.

    WOW! I understand you want people to know the basics of how to wire up the fan but god damn this looks ghetto. If I was Mishimoto I wouldn't want my name on this video. But for the record all the Mishimoto product's I've had a great quality.

    Hello. My fans have a blue and black wire. Which one is the positive? Also, I'm going to use one as a pusher and one as a puller. If I have to reverse a fan, is it simply removing and reversing the fan or do I have to also reverse the wires? Thank you for your help and the video.

    I thought Mac Guyver was the previous owner of my s13. It had these fans when I bought it. Apparently it was just someone who watched this install video and matched it up exact except the part where he sealed it to the radiator with duct tape. Eh at least i know which wires are the fan controllers now. I'll just redo the wires with proper splices and loom them in better spots.

      The green wire is for override, for A/C etc. This is not a high/low fan switch.

    • @TheKingOfHalo

      The radio signal wire tells the fan to turn off when the radio turns off. Otherwise it’ll keep running when the engine is off and it’ll drain your battery.

    • @mishimoto
      @mishimoto  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      No, you cannot control the controller with the ECU. Either the Mishimoto controller will turn the fan on or the ECU will. If you are not interested in using the ECU settings, we suggest installing the fan controller as shown in our install guide and ignoring any wires from the ECU or on the OEM harness.

    If you add a single pole double throw switch in series with the black fan wire, you can bypass the NO/NC single pole single throw thermostat. May God enlighten the unknowing.

      This wire is meant to be an override and can be set up to a manual switch or hooked up to the AC compressor to have the fan turn on with the AC. This will all depend on your preference, some customers simply don't connect it as well.

(without having to add the switch control to route inside the car??) i have a 2001 chevrolet impala with recent fixed aircondition and the my overheating issue seems to have started once i fix my aircondition and started running it..... please help (-;

    • @mishimotorob5769
      @mishimotorob5769 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hi Mocha Love! It is possible to wire the fans to run constantly, but I recommend against it. It wont allow the vehicle to warm up properly from a cold start and it will put a strain on the cooling fan motor, control module, and charging system. Cooling fans are not designed to run constantly. It sounds like you have an underlying cooling system issue that needs to be addressed first. Running the AC creates an additional thermal load on the cooling system, which is revealing the problem. Once you figure that out, you can wire the fans to kick-on automatically when the AC is engaged by attaching the green wire to the positive lead on the AC compressor clutch.

      Mocha Love The reason you are overheating is because the AC condenser generates heat in its function. You have an underlying issue that is causing you to overheat. Check your coolant level, thermostat, water pump, radiator fan operation and radiator for faults.

      The green wire would be spliced into the trigger wire for your AC compressor, other than that everything else would be the same
