Hey Captain, First question is why would you want to run both? Either one should be sufficient. I think you have two options for wiring that baby up; 1) Get a thermostat and you don't need a switch. You can pick one up at just about any parts store that sells electric fans. I went this route on my 280zxt 2) If you do go the switch route, you probably want to get a relay to handle the current. A little switch in your dash may burn up depending on how much current the fan draws and how long it needs to be on. Also, use switched power for the relay or else it will suck the juice out of the battery when the car is off. I went this route on my 260z 'cause it was cheap...

hughdogz Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Hmmm...that still shouldn't happen. Check to make sure your coolant is a 70/30 mix of coolant/water. Also, you can go to a hotter (or colder?) thermostat. It seems to me that if those fans aren't pushing the same amount of air, one would be a restriction to the other. Maybe someone with more experience will chime in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
