Can I wire a dual fan setup off a single fan connector??
I have a 91 Camaro RS with a single fan setup. Can I wire a dual fan setup off the single plug?? Is it safe or will 2 fans cause too much of a load??
It's marginal.
For a while, I had the dual fans set up off of one relay. It always worked fine, but I found after a long trip, the relay had gotten so hot it had melted together with the plug.
I would just get an aftermarket relay able to handle the load.

good point I guess I should!! But the reason I want to change it to a dual fan setup is for better cooling plus I'm in the process of putting together a TPI swap. I figure If I can wire things like the dual fan setup in now it will save me time later because I will already have it in place.
I see no draw backs to haveing a dual fan setup with a TBI engine anyways. I figure the engine will cool faster with 2 fans running resulting in shorter fan running times.

i wired my fans up together for better cooling. i have never had any problems with it and the cooling is far superior. don't know why it wasnt designed that way in the first place.
