Hello, i want to know more about what time a thermofan should turn on in relation to the temperature the thermostat opens up etc?
currently i am running a 3t-gte engine.
thermo stat opens about 86 i think thermofan comes on at 92 and turns off at 88 or there abouts.

on my 3TGTE, I have an 82 degree thermostat, the motor runs between 84 & 88 degrees normally. my thermo turns on at 91 degrees, and turns back off at 88.
What radiator are you using??

I am still running the stock RA28 radiator, recored though and a 14" craig davies fan.
Gets hot in traffic though so trying to work out if i had something setup wrong or too small radiator/fan.
Thanks for the info you gave me.
