I want to thank everyone for this sticky, it inspired me to try a electric fan set-up on Rusty. I did things a bit different though. I got some electric fans out of a 91 Sentra (GXE?) which came out in two separate fans/shrouds. They both fit the KA radiator with ease. The fan motors had 4 wires: blue, black, green, yellow. I used the blue for power and black as ground.
The fan (Main) nearest to the drivers side, had the power wire mushed into the fuel pump fuse and the ground wire bolted to the headlight ground.
The fan (Aux) nearest the passenger side was butt connected into what used to be my A/C?? fan plug. It was a plug that attached to my old secondary fan on the radiator. It had a brown/white wire and black wire. I spliced the black with the black and the brown/white with the blue. I assume that the black wire was ground and the brown/white was power.
After many hours and many snapped bolts, 2 total thats why its called Rusty, I turned the ignition on first. Bam! the main fan started right up. I let the car idle till it reached half way on the water temp. The aux fan hasn't come on yet so it makes me wonder if I wired it right. I turned on the A/C to see if it would but nada. I figure it the main fan is doing its job well for now.
I have yet to drive the car so we'll see how it holds up. Later this week I'm installing some gauges so we'll see what kind of temps the fans hold. I'll say this, removing that clutch fan actually lets you see your engine. Thanks for the write up guys.
