I have been looking at this post for some time...And am adding a few things for my setup....Since I live in TX and sometimes stuck in traffic for a long tim I am adding a 2nd relay a temp sensor for fan 2 and LED's that i am going to have in my dash for verifying fan 1 and fan 2 running.

First fan will run constantly
2nd fan will kick on when temp reaches(???) (not sure what to set this too any suggestions)
I will attach a wiring diagram.

Build parts list
2 Taurus Fans
2 12v 30/40a relays
2 lights and screw in holders Light one to show fan 1 is working light 2 to show when 2nd fan engages
1 temp switch adjustable surface mount (mounting it to the center of the radiator should work but will be testing the temp ranges of the radiator..Any Suggestions)

i had to cut a little spot out for the radiator and flip them upside down i got it from a scrapyard it said 1990? i was hoping they would fit watever they were but if they were taurus fans wasnt a bad fit

its kind of involved hiding the wires, mounting the toggle switches... it was fun

Ok Finally done all the wires temp sensors and lights relays etc etc hooked up....Here are some pics enjoy.....

Blue light is Fan 1 normally running and Orange light is Fan 2 temp dependent 130deg it goes on so far.

i did the electric fan conversion when i looked and figured out that my belt fan was cracked and ready to give
,<br> i put a ten inch fan on the outside(puller) and 15inch from a old school chevy diesel (oh yea its cold) <br>
and it keeps running colder than it did before, along with my new exhaust intake and 93 octane it made the difference in a race with a 06 mustang, it went from about 6-7 cars to a car and a half in a quarter (still tore that ass in the 1/8th though)

I just got a ser fan from a friend but only 1? U think I will be ok with just that n to wire it to the ignition with a ground to the chassis?

think these would work for an r32 radiator? i plan on swapping in the vh45de (infinite q45 motor)...apparently the stock radiator is equipped but poorly to handle the heat from the v8....
