On my fan relay kit i had a prob style temp sensor that sits in between the radiator cooling fins(no coolant accually touches the sensor) and it works awesome you could drill and tap the waterneck for the upper radiator hose, what motor is this going in?

This is going on my stock ka, but soon to be sr. I'd rather not use a sensor that slips between the fins because your only reading surface temperatures which could lead to inconsistent temperature readings.

Do you think I bought the correct relay kit: turns on at 180 degrees and shuts off at 170 degrees?

What 12v ignition source should I use? Should I splice in under the fuse box for the ignition fuse?

Use ignition switched power to trigger a relay. The relay pulls power from the battery.

I discussed this so many times already. I don't want to do this any more.

Where can I locate that ignition switched power under the hood and what wire color? I don't want to run wire through the firewall to locate power.
