2G Radiator fan control

[green97gstspyder]

i just wanted to get some opinions on an idea i had about re wiring my fan controls so they will come on earlier without using link since that upsets timing as well. i am thinking of starting with the vfaq 2g fan bypass but instead of using a toggle switch i was going to use this

or this

my questions are one does anyone see an issue with this and two which one would be better to use? i was thinking about getting the 185 on 175 off. thanks in advance for the advice.

i forgot to mention i am using a 160 t stat but i am most likely going back to a 180 t stat

I thought these car go into open loop below 180 degrees. I don't see why you want it to run that cool.

i just want to keep it as cool as safely possible. especially when using my a/c. after doing some looking at how the switch is set up i don't think i will be able to wire it the way i mentioned but i am running my main power to my slim fans through relays so i could use it to trigger them instead of the original fan harness. would you think the 195 on 185 off would be too low? this is my ideal temps id like to stay at if i could

I would think that is probably fine. Have you looked into something like this?http://www.ebay.com/itm/Derale-16769-Mechanical-Fan-Control-Thermostat-/310719831816
This way you can adjust where you want it.

I've seen those but I just don't like the probe style. Not quite as accurate if you ask me.

switches really suck when you forget to turn them on.
dont know how many times i forgot to activate the switch in the winter in a drive thru. driving down the road i didn't need them, but when i pulled into drive thrus i would forget and then i would notice the idle change, scan the gauges and see the coolant temp 200 +degrees.
do a setup that you don't have to remember to activate.
i use link to control my fans, buggers the idle tune and i have to tune around it. i didnt know it messed with timing.
