Has anyone ever replaced an s13 belt driven fan, for and electric one. Can someone tell me where to connect the control circuit?? Is there a temperature sensor that I can tie into? Thanks ---

I know that racer240sx changed his when he did his sr swap. He’s just got it hard-wired into the ignition though. I think that if your car has AC there is some sort of sensor you can tie into. ---

i got an electric fan from a 87 pulsar nx, mounted it and wired the dual fans : one grounded to the engine, and the other, off the wind sheild wiper power (it gets constant power when the car is on). works well. ---

Cool, But I was thinking of something that will turn on and off… That’s a large power drain, to be on all the time. I just need to find something that I can tap into. like the thermostat, but electrical. ---

I shorted out my A/C fan relay. Car has never overheated. ---

So you removed the Mech fan and are just running the condensor fan? ---
