Fan Control now available!
 

FYI, for you guys.
UpRev Pro Tuners have the ability on some ROMs to adjust the fan duty cycle and temperature on\off. This will allow us to finally get away from the low speed (half speed) 212 degrees coolant temp and high speed at 221 degrees factory settings. This should help with running cooler.

For those who have tuned with me in the past come in (give me advance warning) and I will adjust your fan settings for improved temperature control.

:excited:

About time :tup::tup::tup:

seb, fan control seems to work great. it was great to meet u today, the car is running great! got stuck in traffic on the way home and temps never got over 190. guys, the fan control is the ****!!

was cruising doing some honeydo's, normally around town stop and go the z would reach temps of 200+f, today with the fan control the temp never got over 190f. works great:happydance:

Do you know what type of setting he used for your tune? I am looking into a tune very soon and could use updated fan settings.

Sub'd for more info

I know that there are three stages of fan speed, low, med, and high. the low setting would come on at 212f if I remember correctly. seb changed the low setting to come on at 185f and the med to start at 200 and the high to come on at 212. I may not be correct on the temps but I know that it works amazing, oil temp stay much more consistent in stop and go traffic and low speed cruising.

Seb, can you give us the settings you used for henryo844?

henry0844 = Aaron from 3/24 tune session after mr bonanni. just so seb knows who I am so he can look up my settings.

interesting. subd

This is the factory setting. As you can see the actual duty cycle of the fan is controllable, along with the speed and the most important part the temperature of when the fan will kick on.

Here's where I set Aaron's control up (henry0844).

Seb

wow..that's awesome. I need to setup my uprev and have them do that as well!

Pretty cool! Might have to get this done.

Any negative effects?

none so far,works just like stock just at lower coolant temps.:excited:

hey seb can you do that to my car? i was in there on 3/23. i will call you tomorrow:yum:

Yes! No problem.

hey seb thanks for the fan control mode. been driving for almost a week know and notice a different in oil temps. i"ll be in this summer for a oil cooler tho.

Can this be done by UpRev thru the etunes feature?

i think so. just call seb at specialty z

I have to get this done. My car is p*ssing me off, if I hit some light traffic or do some stop-and-go city driving, the oil temps jump from 180 to 220 - it's so annoying. I have an oil cooler and it's doing it's job, since the oil temps will never cross 220, but at 55-degree weather, it really shouldn't get that hot, especially that fast.

I went to have this done and My ECU is one of the ones that can't have it done so my tuner has my ECU # and will call UpRev Monday and see what they can do for the rest of us.

I don't believe this option in UPREV covers cooling the oil. I think it is for the radiator fans to give your coolant some extra cool. :tup:

But I could be wrong ...

I was going off of the below:

Regardless, I'm going to go out for a drive and test it now. I just had it done.

I did 45 mins of stop/go heading down 805 during super rush hour. I'd normally see 220+ even with 19 row oil cooler since there's no airflow.. but I was surprised it stayed 195-200. This fan control is a must!

I stand corrected sir... learn stuff everyday on here.

I have a 6.5in spal fan in front of my cooler and a CSF radiator so I'm not that bothered that I can't do this.

Right on! I know you're FI'ed and everything but how are your temps with the fan and CSF radiator?? I may do those mods as well once I FI down the road.

sUB'D!

So what determines if you can do this with your ECU? Someone said they couldnt?

If you have a the oil cooler set up like the DIY cooler. The ac fan will pull a constant draw of air through the oil cooler at dead stop.

Having the main cooling fan come on at a lower temp could help with cooling the oil better as well because the constant air draw through the cooler.

With temps in the 90s here I have my ac on perpetually so my oil is always about 180 unless I start passing all the slow retards on the roads.

I dont know if having PW is a good idea because nimrods on the road must think I am a cop. I find them with 10 cars between them pass them and the next guy the same thing. They slow way down below the speed limit.

I think you have to open up the rom files and check.. don't think there's a database or anything

As far as the radiator I don't watch the temp I bought it to help oil temps,but my 6.5in Spal fan turns on @ 190deg and my oil temps haven't gone over 210deg.

Including 30 dyno pulls yesterday @ Z1 and some of them where 5 in a row:happydance:

Chris, John @ Z1 tried to mine yesterday and he couldn't so he took my ECU # and is going to call UpRev Monday to see what can be done.

Frank

That's perfect. My car feels like its 100% pulling hard around 200-210F. Any video of the dyno pulls??

Here is one before he retuned it.

GTM Supercharger Stage 1.5 - YouTube

Just beat the piss out of my car on the same route I take home, with the same type of temps out and normal. I did local driving from GF's> highway for 8 miles>2 miles of local town driving with plenty of stop signs until I reached home (I like the scenic route home).

Just beating it as much as I safely can on the streets, keeping it in 2nd and 3rd gear mostly, downshifting frequently to 2nd. Normally, oil temps would be 220 immediately, timing would be retarded and loss of low-end power would be very noticeable.

With the adjustment done, oil temps remained 180-190, no feeling of timing pull, and hardly any feeling of power loss. Car felt fantastic and zippy all the way through the town, which is normally where it just feels flat. There was no sun out, but weather was in the 60s. We'll see how it performs under hotter conditions as they come - but I am very confident in this mod.

Seb - I noticed this in UpRev last time I reflashed my car a couple weeks ago, it's there in the regular Tuner version as well (not just Pro). I turned everything up to 100% sooner of course, and it helped. What I'm wondering about: mine had the data columns for 214/217/221 like your factory image - how did you get the columns to switch to lower temps (your second image: 192/196/205?).

Jon is working on it for me too Frank, hoping for the best. :tup:
