Fan settings - hp tuners Hello,
I need to know someones fan settings.
System - General:
VATS control, Stage one fan temps, Stage two fan temps.
I hope thats not to much to ask
One other thing.
Under, Engine - Idle:
There seems to be some new options for V1.5, Cooling Fan Airflow. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Kyle

Kyle,
On my 2003 Z06, I set the two fans to go on low speed at 176, and off at 173. Then, high speed is set at 180 on and off at 177. This keeps the motor typically under 180 in most traffic.
The factory settings on the car are low speed on at 226, and off at 219. Then, high speed is set at 235 on and off at 227. This keeps the motor on 2003 Corvettes under 225 in most traffic.
I hope that helps a bit. I am not familiar with the fan airflow. My fans do a great job of cooling the motor. The only trouble was that they were programmed too high. HP Tuners fixed that problem.

Thank you Paul. The '00 trucks don't come with electric fans, so I just bought a set. That sounds great.
Thank again,
Kyle

Does anyone have an idea about the Cooling Fan Airflow setting under Engine- Idle? The help menu didn't quite have the answer I was looking to find.

Hmm. I'd suggest a Lower stat then. If you keep the stock one I'd say low on at 205 off 195. High around 210. I'm just guessing though. The key is to not set HIGH to cold, or else they'll run constantly and have no effect except extra alternator drag.

OOPS. Good call. I have a 160 thermo. Now with cold weather in MA, cruising down the road in 4th or 5th gear, the coolant will read 169 degrees. That is about as warm as it will get.
The thermostat sets the minimum coolant temp, whereas the fan settings set the maximum coolant temp. As Smokin WS6 says, the fans have to be set to work with the thermostat. My fan setting and thermostat is just about the same as those that Smokin WS6 is using.
