Low tech but it works:
- Clamped some thermostarts to the radiator (near return (cold)) hose.
(Like this but 80 degC model) http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView...Max=&SUBCATID=
- Used those to drive two standard 12V relays .. connected to the fans.
Too easy.Rob the Aussie

It's a decent improvement in MPG. Also, in the winter the car warms up MUCH quicker. Which is great for up north. also makes the car noticably quieter, at least when the fan isn't running.Builder/Owner of Badass Panther Wagons

Plus it is alot easier to change the serpentine belt since you dont have to get it inside the fan shroud and then around the fan.http://secondhandracing.com/Home.aspx
