Thread: What did you do to your car today? Vol 2.0

Was there ever a picture of said relays?

That's a good point, I don't think I ever took one, they're in a relay box under the arm rest, on the other side of the door panel. It's on the outside of the peel n seal.


For the record, whoever said 9C1 fans swapped into Grand Prix is wrong.

Why were you doing the fan swap anyways? Have you turned down the fan on temp in the tune?

I put a 1" gtp rad in my car...which BTW is not an easy bolt on swap either, took a lot of choppin but it fit. The new rad made no difference in my temps. It was then I realized that there was one more setting in the tune that I missed, which gives control of the fans to the pcm. You can't just lower the temp because the bcm still has control of the fans. Anyways, once I figured that out I now have no issues holding any temp I set. The thicker rad probably helped, because as soon as the fans kick on the temp drops real fast.

Since I wanted better cooling and the A\C to get colder faster. I have a Reptile tune, and the temp should be lowered, but I haven't checked I know the fans should stay on after the car is shut off and they don't, so I don't know if he forgot anything else.

I was never able to get my fans to stay on either. That feature just won't work for me.

I don't care about that really, it's just one of those things where "If that didn't get done, what else didn't get done?"

It might be a feature that all pcms can't enable. I even looked through all the settings in Tiny Tuner and there is nothing else to enable it. I have mine set to stay on 90 seconds if temp is over 150 but it won't work. That is the only thing that I have found not working in the tune though.

That's kinda what I figured, just something that didn't work. I noticed everything else that he mentions in the tune, except it seems to be a bit on the rich side. I understand why he'd do that though, better to be rich than lean. It could just be my car too, my LTFTs hover from -10 to -15%. Yes I know this is unrelated to the fans, lol.

Didn't you say an AVT was on your short list, or something like that? you NEED a tuner!

Yes it is, and it's next in line after the rocker panels. I had a few leaks to plug up this week and it kinda go out of hand with these fans. I hope to get the rockers done before winter, then get an AVT box for tuning during the winter (Snow doesn't typically hit til January or so).

Crap, I'm still trying to dial my tune in and its been like 3 months since my swap lol. Have no idea how a canned tune can even be close. Get dhp and I bet you forget all about relays for awhile. Its addicting. Too bad I only get to drive my car once or twice a week or I'd probably be dialed in. I'm just working on my start up a/f and cruising trims. Otherwise its running real nice.

Lol, relays were means to a end, and other than the rain sensor, I'm at that end. Rain sensor shouldn't use very many relays though.

Quoted because I don't believe you. Haha!

Is there anyone on the forum that does custom CNC stuff? I want to get a badge or two done in aluminum. I ordered one off eBay, said it was aluminum, but alas its just cheap china plastic. I want something nice but small to put on the decklid.

Send me your pcm and I'll do it for you.

Lol, careful, Scotty offered that I and I did it. I got this Reptile tune thinking it'd be better and it is (Scotty was just starting to tune), but not as drastic as I expected. I decided not to put anymore money into tuning until I'm doing it.
