KA24DE OEM Nissan Fan Clutch Engages up to ~3k everytime on start up after changing

BEFORE YOU SUGGEST EFANS, I already decided on a fan clutch setup so just don't even mention it because that's not helpful.


So my original fan clutch used to disengage after like 5 seconds of driving it. When the engine was warm and I'd start it, I wouldn't even hear it.

Of course it went out and I had to get a new one from autozone which was some cheap generic one that weighed almost twice as much. That made me sound like a semi and wouldn't disengage until I went 3k rpm after starting, then it'd be quiet.

Now I installed a new oem fan clutch (lighter) along with the gktech fan (more air) and it's doing the same thing, except wayyy quieter.

Granted it's a different fan but the issue should be with the fan clutch engaging. Old fan was beat up a bit anyway

A couple of factors:

-top part of the shroud broke off because I had to put on the autozone fan clutch right before a final and i panicked... this is the only thing I factor that remains changed.
(Have yet to find a replacement)

-just changed my water pump, was doing this before and after

-about to change my thermostat for preventative maintenance

Theoretically I should be able to get it back to how it was prior to it going out the first time so don't just say oh it's supposed to do that or to go efans. It's Zilvia so I figured I'm gonna get those answers anyway
