I have electric fan on my torana, I have installed a 90 degree switch to switch the fans on
I thinking this may be to low as cycles an awful lot, given the AC isn't on and it isn't summer
The thermostat is the factory 82c
The switch is mounted in the thermostat housing where the vac switch would normally be.
What do you guys think re switch temp??

How long does it run the fans for? As long as they only go for a reasonably short time (e.g. 30 to 60 seconds when there is no significant heat generated) then it will be fine.

If its annoying you it could stand to go a little higher, definitely wouldn't try anything lower than that as it will end up too close to the thermostat temp.

They don't run very long, no more than 1 min
I think I will try a 95c unit, today they turned on when the thermostat opened for a few seconds.
