C5 Remote Cooling High Speed Fan

[@regispontiere4031]

Thanks ! Nothing worse than setting in traffic watching your coolant temp rise. I Just ordered one!

[@St3v30h]

A fuze puller is included in the fuze box. It's the little white thing beside the center attach bolt.

[@lancedolan]

My C5 ran at 220 consistently, and 240 on any hot day. I took an airhose to the radiator (underside facing road) and blew out 4 lbs of dirt. No kidding, I weighed it. The car never got above 180 after that.

[@joerosas5956]

Damn same here I'll give that a try

[@1wtrahan]

Hey Chris check under the battery compartment there you will find vacuum hoses make sure they are ok not cracked or off . They control the doors in the box for direction of A/C and air . If the hoses is leaking or no vacuum you only get air on top close to window had to fix mine the other day , though of you about your a c issues hope this helped .

[@do5e]

8:26 there is a fuse puller that is inside the fuse box that you didn't notice you had (it's a tan color).. mine is missing, but i have that yellow one like you have, shame it doesn't fit where the one that comes with the car is in the fuse box.

[@williamgoswick4392]

My ground stud broke off , I had to drill a hole next to it in the frame and drive a self tapping screw in it to get ground back

[@do5e]

@@williamgoswick4392 about half of mine broke off too, there remained enough threads to clean and re-attach the ground cables. I bought self tapping screws to do what you did, glad i didn't need to do that.

I love that little contraption from Sac city. Well made and installed no problems!.

[@bentrishaleemartin926]

Man when I bought my first c5 as I was driving it home I stroked out when it hit 220plus . I had no idea it was normal 😂😅😅

[@Stugots6]

Thanks Chris for the video installation and heads up Sac City.

[@SteveAZ711]

Nice installation. In this AZ heat it is always nice to be able to get that extra cooling... on demand. Looks like a very good product.

[@jaybogreenbo2441]

I will add this to my wish list. Since my Blackwing CAI install I've noticed at normal speeds the Temps have been 185-195 (stock). But at idle and traffic jams the Temps are pushing 220-225. So this will help. Thanks again for another great suggestion👍

[@thevettboy]

Great info Chris. My wife and I participated in a cruise from Roseville (Sacramento area) all on back roads over to St Helena in the Napa area a couple of weeks ago. On the way back our cruise director took us over Mt. St Helena, which was quit a climb and it was about 104 that day. I noticed that my car was topping the 235 mark when going over the pass. Needless to say, I was a little concerned. Once we crested the mountain, my temps dropped down to normal (about 200 to 210). I'm going to contact SacCity and buy a Cool It for my car. Better to rest easy during the hot days we have here in the Sac area. Thanks

[@lwelk273]

Knocked it out of the part Chris! Very cool during my rain storm here in the valley this morning. Your friend from Soapbox Detailing!!! Best to the family.

[@davezarem]

Chris thank you for the video.It was a great help for me to watch it.I installed the quick cool and it works great.

[@MrSegraves1]

Adjust the fan temperatures with something like HPTuners/EFILive. The on/off temps for the fans on my '04 are set as follows: - low is 190/185 - high is 195/190 I'm here in Phoenix as well and it never crosses 200 (stays between 192-199).

[@mycorvettelife]

Is your car stock?

[@MrSegraves1]

@@mycorvettelife No. Overall mods are very similar to yours.

[@kemtitan4469]

Awesome job!! I freak out when I see it creeping past 220 deg. Ive been using the AC to cool it at lights on hot days, but this is a much better option. Thanks for posting.

[@tlusa1950]

Great product Chris, I bought an '01 ZO6 about 6 weeks ago, I bought it specially for autocross and have participated in 3 events already. It's a blast! My second event was a track day at NCM, I made 23 passes and saw a lot of elevated temperatures. Being cautious I popped the hood in the staging lanes all day as I was seeing temps at 235ish. The next day the car saw double duty at another autocross event while sharing it with my son, same temps, 235ish. I think this will help keep temps down while I'm in the stock class. I definitely plan to make some tune changes once I start modding the engine. Thanks for the video and info.

[@bluedevilsdrummer]

Before I even clicked on the video I thought to myself I should tell him saccitycorvette makes one haha. Good video as always!

[@christopherdutro168]

Do you know which one our "99" uses? V2 or V3 ?

[@andreu99C5vette]

@@christopherdutro168 i don't remember if you go on their website they show you photos of both relays one has small notch in the corner of the relay pointing to the front of the car and the other version has the notch pointing to the back of the vehicle. I ended up making my own relay and switch to turn on the high speed fan so i never ordered this one.

[@hondamancl450]

Just what the doctor ordered 😁 great option to have

[@Wsmith247]

I couldn't stop looking at the fuse puller that's already in the fuse box the whole video...LOL

[@45scoot]

Thanks for info Chris, I add front spoiler recently and my temp was running high i thought at 220. Ordering this part now...

[@ianleckie922]

Question about the front spoiler: does it block the airflow to the radiator?

That's so cool that's wt I need for my Z06 Ty I live in San Antonio TX and was getting worried about my temps I have ceramic headers straight pipes and a radical cam my temp were no more than 218 but I never had a car get higher than 210 that's what I need Ty

[@babybugy1]

i have had this since 2014 defiantly helps i have a twin turbo 04 z06 and it gets toasty

[@genej50]

that's really neat. don't know if I need one. in wa. st. it gets hot for a month or so. temp hits 230F and the fan kicks in and brings it down to 220F. normal is 198F. it jumps around during the drive. your under the hood housekeeping looks as good as mine. bought it from a dealer. had a broken grille on the dash, missing a reflector in the drivers door, missing the little cover on the door pull,, and was showing a check engine light. my mech. cleared everything up for less that $300.00. oh yeah. I had a friend, I showed it to, before buying at les schwab. he said the tires were dry rotted. I jumped the dealer about this and got a free set of bridgestone runflats thrown in. the car had just gone thru a very nice detailing inside and out. iv kept it clean so far.

[@Trevayne4]

Great video thanks

[@lorigilbert3173]

Hey Chris, Love your video's, 👍 since I started following you a short time ago. I have an overheat issue, only when my A/C is on. I've had this problem for yrs. now 😫 But after seeing your video, I knew I needed to try it. Just ordered one today 😀 and can't wait till next week for it to arrive, so I can test it out👍 Got a new air dam installed days ago, and it did make a huge difference. Now with this lil gadget, hoping for even lower temps. 😀👍 Keep the video's coming!!! 😎

Make sure you clean your radiator and a/c condenser yearly. Or if you daily, quarterly.

[@holditonhanson1]

I run a larger 2 core aluminum tank's radiator- plus i came up with just adding a new relay to the current system with a manual switch to control the high speed fans inside of the car ,this set up works great but it does set the check engine light on when the system detects the fans turning on at a lower than set temp maybe a seperate positive wire not coming from the stock relay would correct this ? keeping the computer from seeing the manual fan operation .. i just sodered leads coming off the 30 and 87 poles from the oem high speed relay to a separate new relay that i have a switch inside of the car to tun off and on the new relay .... it works perfect exccept the check engine light , will update when i get this figured out ... the vette hardley ever goes over 200 degrees in hot 100 plus summer weather and never above 210 ...reading the digital dash gauge ....

[@13megagreek]

[@johnstuckey2723]

Chris, when you turn on the fans and later turn off the vehicle do you need to turn on the remote again for fans to come on or they on until you turn off with the remote?

[@mycorvettelife]

The fans run just as they normally would unless over ridden by manually pressing the button to turn on/off.

[@nashrambler5246]

So when will you put the Z06 vents in the back? You know you thought about it. 😆

[@mycorvettelife]

If I did, they would have to be functional. Idk, I have a few other things on the list before I get there.

[@nashrambler5246]

I don’t know if I would go with a remote, that seems like it could have a problem down the road. My auxiliary fans are all on switches in my “cup holder” because we all know it won’t hold a cup worth a damn. LOL!!! I also have switches in there to kill the reverse and brake lights, you never know then that can come in handy. 😃

[@corvette6161]

Nash Rambler just ? Why kill the revers and brake lights. Thanks.

[@nashrambler5246]

So that way the local cops can’t see my black C5 at night. They like to hang around the local Moose club and try to nail people for DUI based on how long we have been parked at the club. It makes it more stealth like to sneak out of there and drive out the side alley. It has been working for me since 2003.

Chriss My 98 Vette never goes past the 200 F mark, but I realize there is only one fan running. According to the fan diagram, the fan circuitry is configured to run in series at low fan speed and in parallel at high speed. The question is: before modifying your car, did both fans come on or just one? I know my car is probably having fan relay issues, but should I fix this? The car runs at 194 F, I'm from Puerto Rico, the summer is hot and the car runs fine. What do you suggest?
