    Trying to jump the hydrofan solenoid to get it running, but having no luck

    ok, I used a 22 Ohm resistor and it ran at about 30%, and a 15 Ohm resistor kicked up to about 50-60%. I ended up with a continuos (switched) supply from the 22 Ohm, and then the 30 Ohm line will be controlled by a cicuit set to temp on my Stinger ECU. Seems to be good set up. I'll write...

    Trying to jump the hydrofan solenoid to get it running, but having no luck

    I came up with a better solution last night after I thought about it last night. I'm going to shim the solenoid so it runs at about 30% all the time, then wire it into my ECU to open 100% at 190 degrees.

    Trying to jump the hydrofan solenoid to get it running, but having no luck

    got it open, now all I have to do is determine the correct resistor to put in line to reduce it down to 2-3 volts, or maybe even a potentiometer under the hood.

    GTE pistons in a GE

    you can run GE pistons just the same, as long as you run a thicker head gasket to lower the compression

    Trying to jump the hydrofan solenoid to get it running, but having no luck

    yeah, motor is/was running. I tried both a 5v & 12v lead, and nothing. I spoke to Aaron, and in the morning Im going to try shimming the solenoid with crush washers in order to mechanically open the valve. If that doesn't work, I will try to remove the solenoid all together and cap it to see...

    SupraMania: What Do Yo Do? Who Are You In Life?

    best. Post. Ever!!!!! :icon_bigg I was in the Army in the early 80's to the mid 90's, then I got out and was a practicing structural engineer / construction manager (BS in construction management & a MA in engineering), then I realized that I missed being in the Army, so I joined again in Jan...

    Pre-1JZ drop in checklist

    just like it was said before, replace everything rubber. Definitely the clutch, Rear main seal, take a look at the harmonic balancer (replace the front main if removing the HB), vacuum lines, gaskets, and ensure everythingis sealed up & not leaking. It's easy to replace on an engine stand, but...

    Trying to jump the hydrofan solenoid to get it running, but having no luck

    ok, tried putting 12v to the yellow/blue, no luck, the fan still free spins. Then I tried to ground the yellow/red to the neg battery terminal as well, thinking that since the hydrofan ecu wasn't in place, the circuit wasn't complete, still no luck. WTF? This is why I HATE wiring. The...

    Trying to jump the hydrofan solenoid to get it running, but having no luck

    ok, thanks Jono. I'm throwing a 2ohm, 25w resistor in it (Aarons recommendation), but I didn'y know it was a 5v lead, so thanks for the heads up.

    Trying to jump the hydrofan solenoid to get it running, but having no luck

    there are two lines, yellow/blue & yellow/red, an if I read the wiring diagram correctly, the yellow/red is the 12v & the yellow/blue is the ground. I've tried to run a 12v lead from the battery to the yellow/red, but the solenoid isn't opening to turn the fan. Being an electrical dummy...

    anyone have a picture of the hydrofan ecu connection on the engine harness?

    no problem at all Jay :-). Yesterday was a fun ride home, a lot more torque than I expected. I'll get it sorted out, no worries
