Because of the pi intake swap there was no place for the ect sensor. so the guy who had the car before me set the fan up to run constantly.

this resulted in a burnt out fan motor. so i am replacing it with an aftermarket electric fan and a new thermostat but my question is what temp should i set the thermostat to?

I thought the manifold for the PI swap had a hole tapped for the ECT sensor?

Depends what T-stat you run. If you run the stock one, have the fan come on at ~212. It should bring it down to just above where the t-stat opens.

the PI manifold has only one hole. most people build a t fitting. the previous owner i guess hacked yours.
