What about the good old tried and true Nissens / IPD 3-row radiator, Tropical fan clutch & done?

Beats an engine that's heat soak damaged from the turbo.
Lol old guys are funny, I should know I'm one of them. I'm using a 940T water/oil cooler, efan and radiator. I doubt Volvo went that route because it was cheaper, I don't think they would compromise on their reputation for reliability either. The Saab tee in the lower hose comes on at 199F and back off in about a minute at 189-190F, I don't smell anything the RWC is cooking. Different strokes for different folks though I reckon.

So just being clear, the tee goes in the lower hose on the left? And is it recommended to get a fuse for the wire that goes to the battery?
Tell that to Thomas / stealthfi.
I seem to remember he couldn't find a good E-fanned 940T engine block to build.
But hey if you're in a hurry and it revs up a tiny bit faster go for it!
Nice, I've watched the video from David Bello a few times already, but this is more in depth.
Quick question, a friend has a relay and plugs, but the middle plug for the fan switch is missing the wires. Can I just rewire that plug or do I need a new complete one?
....... If it has those, then no. It will ultimately produce less airflow through the smaller 940 shroud opening that the stock belt fan can pull.

Doesn't the total airflow in SCFM depend upon how it is controlled? I don't believe the LH2.4 ECU controls the 9 series E-fan in the same fashion as an external trigger source.
I know you went far beyond 99% of TBers in E-fan experimentation and development of control for your 2 series. For most of the users, I expect their issues occur when bogged down in traffic with AC cycling..... the 9 series fan on HIGH moves some air. The only T-stat fan I've got in my fleet is on my 93 AERO Van with 4.0L, and I know I can hear that thing ROAR in the cabin when engaged..... but that is only in traffic with AC operating.
