Thats just *way too normal*

 

Yeah, for anyone like myself running a race battery, I usually have to babysit the car after a hot shut down. I'll let it idle for a couple minutes to stabilize the temps and then shut it down. When the temps drop below 200 degrees I'll power on the car, make sure my fan switch is off and then shut the car down. This forces the fan to stop.

I've let the fans run and came back to a dead car. Thankfully my protection switch tripped so it didn't allow the car to totally drain the battery.

 

Thanks for the further replies. I am hoping we don't have more hot weather here, and if that happens I'd rather use my DD for commuting on hot days.

 

Anyone know why thermos would run constantly have installed the rx8 cooling kit mazsport with the two relays attached to wire with ground started car from being cold and they come on with ignition and dont go off untill turn car off about 10seconds after being turned off anyone can help to know why they would run constantly

 

It's normal. But it could be the Mazsport curse as well.

 

Even though the car completely cold and lol whats point of the temp sender least wont cook the motor i guess

 

Oh well then something is not wired right, it's a pointless modification anyway, remove it.

 

i need to have something making thermos come on sooner than factory because temp getting to 100 degress on autometer gauge and dont want to cook motor its had thousands spent on it its race ported 13b turbo

 

100C is fine. But if you want an improvement get better fans.

 

Yeah i might have to what temp does yours run and are you on facebook ausrotary page and rx8 club bud thanks for the advise

 

I have the Flex a lite 420 fan setup and I am turbocharged and I have to really be beating on it in 100+F weather to get it above 215F. FAL also sells the 490 setup which flows even more. I do have a dual pass aluminum radiator as well. The FAL setups has been working well in my car for several years, you just cut the connectors off and wire it in like stock.
