I'm sure this has been answered numerous times, but I've yet to run into anything about cooling fans and have not much time to spend on the internet this afternoon. My '97 GSX has plenty of modifications, including a 16g evo iii big turbo and a megan racing intercooler/radiator. The reason I point out those modifications above all else is because my radiator fan has yet to turn on since I bought the vehicle about two weeks ago. An owner of a successful auto shop and an old friend of mine assures me that because of the time of the year, the engine probably won't get hot enough for the fan to turn on. Another friend of mine who has owned a similar DSM strongly disagrees with his opinion, stating that it should turn on nearly as soon as the car is started. I've noticed that the turbo manifold gets incredibly hot as soon as it starts, there's a burn hole through the heat shield above the manifold, and yet I've never seen the fan spinning. I live in NY and it is anything but warm out right now.
ANY advice/suggestions/words of wisdom would be appreciated as I'm not willing to drive the vehicle until I'm sure that I won't be doing any damage.
