NoHachi my man;

When i drive my car i always let it stay on neutral for al least 3-5 minutes.

&.... 5-8 minutes calm driving get the engine onto working temperature.

At this point the enginge oil is still not warm enough in order to puch hard.

engine oil akes about 20-25 minutes to heat up.
I always have the fans switched off untill the engine reaches about 75% on the temp-guage. then i swith tem on.

I have a special mixture of 92/AE86 waterpump - without the housing for the thermostat... Anyways - no real racecar has an thermostat attached & my car tends to over heat quite easily.

But i´ll soon attach an potensiometer which will direct the fans to the right speed.

I like my engine´s running cold . below 85 degrees.

Mux: true.. a lot of slow driving without wind-cooling - therefor the fans are connected as follows...
front fan - puches air through radiator - rear fan suchs air from radiator.
