Key Features:
-
Manual intercooler fan override for 2017–2025 Can-Am Maverick X3
-
Flip between ECU control or fan on-demand with a lighted dash switch
-
Plug-and-play harness with relay and weatherproof OEM-style connectors
-
Relay-isolated to protect the ECU – no check engine lights or backfeeding
-
Helps reduce intercooler heat soak and improve consistency during launches, races, and hot-weather riding
-
Clean install using the factory accessory/bus bar and dash switch locations
From drag racing and dune pulls to hill shoots and short-course launches, one of the biggest hidden performance killers is intercooler heat soak while you’re idling, staging, or cruising. From the factory, the ECU only turns the intercooler fan on under heavy load, then lets it run for a short period after you lift. That means as you’re sitting in line or rolling around off-boost, your intercooler is just getting hotter and hotter.
This kit gives you manual control of the intercooler fan at the flip of a switch, so you can pre-cool the intercooler before you hammer the throttle. Dyno testing has shown a consistent 2–3 HP gain for roughly 10 seconds after staging vs. letting the fan operate in stock mode, simply by keeping charge temps lower going into the pull.
Detail Features
-
Manual fan control at your fingertips
Lighted dash switch lets you choose between ECU control (normal) or fan on demand for staging, idling, or slow cruising. -
True plug-and-play harness
No cutting, no splicing, no guesswork. Uses OEM-style weatherproof connectors and a dedicated relay for a clean install. -
Relay-isolated for ECU safety
The relay keeps the stock ECU fan circuit isolated, so when the switch is on you’re not back feeding the ECU.-
Switch OFF: Fan runs under factory ECU control.
-
Switch ON: Fan runs whenever you want, with no check engine lights or fault codes.
-
-
Lower intake temps = more consistent power
By running the fan before you launch, you reduce intercooler heat soak and get cooler, denser air into the engine right when it counts. -
Perfect for racing, dunes, and hard weekend use
Ideal for:-
Drag racing & roll racing
-
Hill shoots & sand drags
-
Dunes, desert, and hot-weather riding
Anywhere you sit and idle while waiting for your turn, this switch pays off.
-
-
Mounts to factory dash locations
Designed to integrate cleanly in the dash and powered via the accessory bus bar for a tidy, professional install.
How It Works
From the factory, the X3’s intercooler fan only kicks on at higher load and then only runs briefly after you lift. So if you’re:
-
Warming up the car before a pass
-
Sitting in line for your shot at the hill
-
Cruising around looking for a race
…the fan usually isn’t running long enough to keep the intercooler cool. When you finally go wide open, the fan turns on, but the intercooler is already heat soaked and takes several seconds to come back down in temperature. By that time, the pass is mostly over.
With the Treal Performance Intercooler Fan Override Switch Kit, you can simply flip the switch and let the fan run before you launch or need all the power. That way the intercooler is already cooled down and ready, giving you a noticeable edge in consistency and repeatability, with a horsepower advantage at the start of the pull.
