dakal Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 can i install this housing on a renix engine? where is the heater hose you can't see going to? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geonovast Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yes you should be able to install it on a Renix head. What heater hose? There's only the two, and they're the same as a Renix one. The third thing you see is a temp sender for the ECU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche County Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 The third heater hose goes to the water pump, not the thermo housing. I replaced my housing when replacing the WP and Thermo, broke the housing by torquing it too hard,,,:wrench:,,,that metal is fragile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLHTAZ Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I used the H.O. housing on my Renix so I could have a place to put the switch for the electric fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche County Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 I used the H.O. housing on my Renix so I could have a place to put the switch for the electric fan. :hijack: Did you run that to a relay to activate the fan? How does it recognize the right temp to turn the fan on? Just asking cause I think that's a good idea,,,I might do the same! :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLHTAZ Posted April 5, 2009 Share Posted April 5, 2009 It is simply a switch that is run through an adjustable thermostatic control mounted on the left fender above the ballast resistor. The control that I got is not the greatest quality, and I would not use the same one agian, but Iwas in a hurry to get it done and grabbed one. It turns on a little too early and I have it adjusted as far up as I can. Look in to Spal contollers in you are going to do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLCollins Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Nice job. Is there a reason why you used an adjustable thermostat?? It seems all I need is a fixed temperture thermostat switch (On/Off) to screw into the thermostat housing. In my old system it was in the radiator (Closed System). I am not worried about the ECU, that sensor is on the drivers side of the engine block. The new open system does not have a thread hole for the Radiator temperature switch AKA auxiliary fan thermal switch AKA electric cooling fan thernal switch. I just need something to turn the fan on and off when it is to hot. :hmm: I am a little behind, could someone explain Renix to me. How can I tell which system is in my 1989 MJ 4.0 MPI I-6? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eagle Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 I am a little behind, could someone explain Renix to me. How can I tell which system is in my 1989 MJ 4.0 MPI I-6? :dunno: American Motors owned Jeep when the XJ (and MJ) was designed. Renault was a major partner of AMC. The design of the ignition and injection system was a joint venture of Renault and Bendix of Europe. RENault + bendIX = RENIX. The Renix system was used on the 4.0L engine from 1987 through 1990, and on the 4-cylinder engine from 1986 through 1990. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
