Default Spal extreme fan installed, no low speed

I just got my Procharger fan shroud and 16" spal extreme fan installed,
Not a hard job, looks and came out nice,

Ok I have the SLP manual control fan switch, but the fan only has one high speed now, If i turn the SLP fan switch on either way the fan only runs at high speed, even in the low speed setting.

also when the coolent hits 224-226 degs the fan comes on and again only at high speed,

is there any way to get the fan to work at low speed also,

will this one high speed setting afect how the car will be tuned , to have the fans come on early.

The SLP fan switch you are talking about was originally set up to run either one fan or both fans. Which is what you might be thinking of when it comes to hi and low.

The only way you would be able to get your new spal fan to run in a hi and low setup, you would have to do a full re wire mod with some type of a voltage regulator, some way to step the voltage down.

Ya it would be alot of work. Like I say I still use my switch to have independent control as well. But if you decide to wire in another fan just use the stock other fan output-control and the switch will run either one or both.

I am going to use the other feed-side of mine for some small fans on top of my intercoolers

Look into getting that Fan to come on before 226 deg.. Have your motor re-tuned for it to turn on around 190 or so..

Have had it a few times on real hot summer days that the temp will climb. Few reason why, I think. Running the bypass valve back to the hat, so I keep recirculating hot air vs dumping it overboard. Along with the 10% underived balancer so the water pump is running a bit slower. I think the main cause is the bypass valve dumping the air back in to just heat it up again. That is why I am going to mount the small fans on the top of the twins.
At the current time I am working on a intercooler to take place of my (Y) pipe off of the head unit and act as the air dam, and still use the twins as well.
