Dear All,

I just transplant JDM engine into my car. I found that my engine radiator fan only turn on around 95c (external water temp meter). The default ECU setting are basically made for Japan weather which i think its not mean for Malaysia.

When search for radiator fan controller, i found some selling online but looking for an experience foreman that sell and install the said controller for my car. Hope members here can help.

Sorry to dampen your spirit, bro.

One Sunway sales rep said to me that PIVOT Fan controller is no longer in production (quite some time already actually). If the unit kong, or to claim warranty, replacement stock would not be possible.

Perhaps PIVOT could last long enuf.....if quality is good
