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.

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

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

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.
