Hey guys. I just wanted to share. I recently bought a 99 spyder gst. It was stock. Did the basic boltons , speed density , fmic setup. Nothing major , still stock t25. I'm running link. Well I got a start up map from kenny @justatune. Car started right up ran great. Started noticing the temp gauge moving on the highway. I was hitting over 230 degrees ! So then I started datalogging and I was hitting 210-215 just cruising normally. If I turned both fans on via link it would get to 200-203. Still no good. I have mishimoto slims btw. So I came on here and read a shit ton of articles and brain stormed with my mechanic to solve this issue. The fmic is a ets btw.
So he ordered me the mishimoto x-line radiator, mishi radiator hoses, and he bought this fan pulse modulator which now controls the fans and not the ecu and we also cut the black part on the front bumper. So this module starts both fans at a low speed at operating temp. And as temp increases so does the rpms on the fans.
Today is 92 degrees out, pretty hot. My cruising temps are 193-196 consistently with no AC. On the highway I'm at 200 dead. On the highway with AC I'm at 203- 206. I'm very happy with the results. And according to my mechanic link seems to read 7 degrees higher than his thermostat.
I'm hoping once the car is tuned properly it will run a little cooler aswell.
Just wanted to add my experience as I read alot of threads on here with alot of suggestions but alot of people dont put what actually resolved their issues with data.
