3S-GTE USDM Turbo Engine intercooler fan switch opinion

MDoe8 · 10-14-2009, 12:04 AM

I've currently got an intercooler fan that's not hooked up. I've got the EMS dual engine bay fan kit, would it be bad for me to just tap into that setup and run them both on the one switch? I'm not sure if that will draw to much power at once or what. Any input would be great! Thanks!

How would you "tap" into that line? Would you use an auto relay to split the line off?

I would use another relay with it's own power source and everything, just the same remote from the current switch being used. I'm just wondering if both fans coming on at the same time (and the radiator fan probably being on too) would be rough on the charging system. Fans pull a lot of power so i'm just making sure it would be ok for them all to be running at the same time more or less.

You shouldn't have any problems. That will work fine. Just make sure you're running something around 12 gauge wire at the least.

Awesome, that'll work! Thanks! Will get to that some time this week hopefully.
