Re: dual fan swap question

for the fans, you'll need to get the dual fan upper and lower mounts to hold them in place. for wiring, you may opt to go with an aftermarket solution, since it opens up a wider range of adjustments for turn on temps.

Re: dual fan swap question

would i be alright to jus buy a temp sensor that turns on earlier and like a 160 thermostat and jus wire the fans to the original single fan wiring?

Re: dual fan swap question

keep your stock tstat, 180 at the lowest. 160 is not going to get the most out of a fuel injected setup and will cost you gas milage.

the purpose of a dual fan setup is to allow 2 stages of cooling; running both fans at the same time (all the time) is quite an amperage draw. both fans need their own relays and power because of this. how you turn them on is up to you, but you can get other opinions and options here:
