cheers m8.
im not running an icv, as im running the at power tb with c2 inlet.
so needed to set the tb open at 3% for it to get air to idle, just tightened the screw down till the gauge said 3%.
andy spent a bit of time setting up the ecu as everything is new,(bigger injectors,charger)
i used 3mm vacum hose taken from one of the outlet clips on the inlet. you can take from the one the hose going to drivers wing goes to if i recolect??
it took abit of time for the engine to finally burst into live, everything is new and never been run before, but its idling nice and smooth now, just got a couple little leaks to sort out, and my fan doesnt kick in,
altho the sensor i have in the rad is a 2 pin(non aircon) but the last one i had was 3 pin so that maybe the case.

[sliderz]

nice one many thanks for that info as at the mo my fan is prob same as i have 3 wire going to the switch but only a two pin in rad so going of your info i need a air con one then , andy mention he needs to set the tb at about 3% for mine as it wont run and was , is gonna do it via remote , ta for the info on were to take the vac feed from , is that 3mm intrenal diamater , what leaks are you having , as this thread is helping me loads as both cars are not far of same apart from yours is charger but both forced , same internals same injectors same ecu , soon as its done and run in ill bob down for a beer with ya ,

not major leaks m8, just one coming from the cooler take off plate, between that and block, and the cam covers are leaking. ye its 3mm internal diameter.
and defo pop down be nice to take a look at urs.

When is it going to see the road?

[adzvtr]

will hopefully be next month m8

[adzvtr]

ok i let it run, till everything was upto temperature, and the fan finally kicked in at 99 deg,
which is normal for these i think.
but i think for satisfaction i will be fitting a back up switch so i can turn fan on when sat in traffic.

[blackie_2k5]

wha are you using to control your fan currently?

[rorz_vts]

looking very very good mate cant wait to see the road going vids, think you will need to get a bumper cam vid tho to show off the speed once you've run it in

[adzvtr]

running the fan controll from the original fan switch in the rad m8.

[blackie_2k5]

is all that wiring seperate to the ecu and engine loom mate? as i think im gonna have to this route for my pred, not really looked into it yet, got a full mk1 vts outside, so can scavenge everything from that

[adzvtr]

the wiring for it wasnt part of the engine loom no, it is in the loom that goes through the wing,altho it does connect to engine loom via the round plug, if you arent messing with the wiring you just need to tap into the signal cable from the sensor plug on the rad sensor,
does ur sax use the rad sensor???

[blackie_2k5]

vtr's are ecu controlled on 3 plug, no sensor in rad, was gonna convert to vts but im not sure how thatll pan out as ive not looked into how it works yet

[adzvtr]

mk2 vts has no sensor in rad either m8, i think if i remember rightly it takes its signal from one of the sensors in the thermostat housing.

ai thats the one mate may try find a gauge and swith kit and run a feed from that very sensor, may be the most sensible option... if anyone reading knows where i can get a kit like this from please pm me

edit- just found a kit on flee bay from america, adjustable thermostat too, may be worth a punt

[adzvtr]

ill ask lippy how he did his fan m8, he is running a slimline on a mk2.

[Andy_K]

Kenlowe do adjustable 'in-line' thermostats for aftermarket fans. They Tee into the rad hose i think. Can be had off ebay 2nd hand for £10, but arent much more new i dont think.

edit, like this one: Ebay link

awesome, should help me greatly, nice one andy, its the same unit i was looking at from usa, but couldnt findany uk, now i know what theyre called,

i think they work by sticking through the fins in the rad and probing the rad temp
