I took mine out, running just A/C fan… no probs yet, been two years. I grounded out the relay, so the fan comes on in ACC mode. ---

i don’t even run a fan…well untill it gets a little warmer I’ll unlazify myself. I ran stock AC fan and wired in a switch to turn it on in traffic…other then that if I’m moving I don’t have it on. Good to run a temp sensor that trips it on for you when rad comes up to certain temp if your type to forget about it. It can overheat quick in traffic if fan isn’t on. Andrew. ---

It might be good to note that this really only applies to lightly driven KA’s. If you beat an SR without a fan it will get hot pretty quick, even with a larger rad. ---

Also took it to two track days without a problem. The only time it started to get hot was in a traffic jam in Montreal in the middle of August… around 35 degrees out. I put the heat on and it calmed down
