AU Thermo's into EA/ED - a few biggish pics

**Polyal** · 25-04-2005, 04:01 PM

OK, well yesterday I had the pleasure of meeting Matt (aka EA Turbo Ghia) and his mate to pick up/install some AU Thermos into my car. Over time Ive seen people say how AU's dont fit, well they do.

I am next to hopeless with electronics, and Matt did an awesome job of installing them for me

Hope the Walker went down well

:

So here are some pics. There is a pic of where the relays are sitting (infront of the battery); and might I say god bless the guy who invented cable ties!

I think the reason why people say AU's dont fit is because of where the fan used to fit on the pump; but once this is ground off there is atleast 10mm clearence.

While there has been no difference in how the car drives, it sure is a bit quieter. One thing I am having to get used to is how the temperature fluctuates a bit. With the old fan it barely ever went passed dead center in normal. Now it goes a bit further, but once they kick in the temp comes straight down.

So thanks Matt! Couldn't have done it without ya. :sm_headba

I tried to do the [IMG][/IMG] thing but it didn't work, sorry

sounds like you need to adjust the temp switch al.

No air intake snorkel either??
None on mine. Seems to be plenty of cold air coming from the fans (excluding the last 48 hours)

I took the snorkel of because I was taking the pic..lol..got a XH one.

Temp switch?...dont think it is adjustable, its got the thingy (thermostat I guess), that goes into the housing, but how the heck do you adjust that?

It works well now, would be good if i came on a fraction earlier though.

yeh dude, well done, ive got AU thermoes in mine aswell, but the amount of gap you got between the belts and yours is heaps more then mine... i had to file into plastic to fit. zip ties are the go dude!

Does your wait untill its nearly out of the normal zone to turn on? Im thinking I might need some sort of switch that turns on earlier; albiet just a fraction.

nah my temp doesnt go past the first stroke on the 'N' of normal when idling in traffic or sitting on 3000+rpm on the highway ofr more then 15mins... they work well...

AU thermos have been covered many times and it has also been proven before that they fit. Bozza bought a set off me a while ago and did it.

Good work.

**Polyal** · 27-04-2005, 10:07 PM

Does anyone know the exact point where its meant to kick in. As far as I am aware its a factory switch.

Sprint_ED · 27-04-2005, 10:57 PM
