Remote oil cooler fanrelay with thermostatic switch - wiring help

[Krmass25]

I'll be installing the IABED Skota S2000 oil filter housing and 1.8t oil pump balance shaft delete. Along with this there will be a remote oil thermostat (Also IABED) which has the ability to have a fitting installed for an oil temperature sensor.

My oil cooler is a SETRAB 19Row with a 12v fan. It would be great to get a relay kit that has an adjustable (or fixed if right temp) switch to thread into the thermostat housing to activate the fan at the right temperature. Seeing if anyone here has done this yet and has the simplest way to do this. .

I figured if someone has done this already there may be a hack to do it fast and easy or any recommended products to accomplish this easily without having to hunt down the right solution. [wrench]

Brand: Setrab Oil Coolers

This compact contoller switch assembly mounts in any 10AN hose to turn your electric fan on and off automatically.

The black anodized adapter fitting has a 10AN male fitting on one end and a 10AN female swivel on the other. Simply disconnect your existing hose from a fitting (for example, where the hose attaches to the cooler) and install this fitting between the two. The included thermal switch activates your fan relay when the fluid temperature reaches 190° F (88° C). The switch turns off when the temperature drops down to 175° F (80° C). Two 1/4" spade terminals make electrical hook up easy. A red dot on the side of the switch identifies the 190°F version.

Probably your best bet. I've only seen a handful of aftermarket oil coolers done, none of which had puller fans.

Just waiting to see if the thermostat housing has a 1/8 NPT fitting for the thermostatic switch to control the fan which costs about thirty dollars (Setrab 190). If it doesn't go in the thermostat housing then there is an inline -10AN fitting female to male that goes right in line with the lines but costs forty five dollars.

That Thermal fitting is not rated for fan operations. You will require a independent relay. Using a 4 or 5 pin will be the best. The hot side of the thermal switch will be your “trigger 86 on relay” (85 is negative). Constant power to the 30 pin, and from the 87 to your fans. The relay 30 pin will require over current protection. That thermal switch needs more info. Most often they’ll be 12 V fed (to the low temp side) and the switch happens automatically at temp making your red dot a positive 12V output when the high temp is reached. For a bit more relay information search: relay fan temp controlled there’s a bunch of drawings. (You need to know correct wiring of thermal switch b4 you do anything)

In all honesty the controller and the fan is a waste. Travelling speed will cool the oil regardless. I’d suggest a Sandwich plate style controller. It goes inline 10 an from block to cooler and opens/closes without any sort of electronics. Oil is crucial to operations. Electronics are an easy failure point. This is why mechanical pumps are used for oiling systems.

Thanks for info I'm definitely well aware of needing a relay to switch on the fan.
I picked up a weatherproof 40 amp complete harness
Setrab sells a bosch style that is bare without an install kit so it was better to get an already made harness to save hassle.

The thermal switch is for the fan only. There is a setrab inline thermostat 190* that will open the flow to the cooler.

I opted for the fan due to the metro areas I frequent and the stand still traffic. I would find the car getting the hottest when in stop and go traffic. The fan will supplement the cooling when there is little air movement.
