Sorry if this is a double post. Dont know if the first reply went through. But I went to the local junkyard today and picked one up. Every villager/quest between 93-98 so far has the same fan.
As for wiring it in, i haven't done it yet. Brian I might have missed it, but did you splice it into anything specific?

Yep it oughta do ok. May want to consider bumping the idle up a hair to compensate for the current draw of the fan if you run it on switched ignition +12ve constantly.
Anybody else try the fan out yet?

Nah. For a regular non standalone car, just grab yourself a relay and switch it using the switched +12vdc power hanging off the green plug near the driver's side head light. Fuse the battery power to 25-30A. Use 12awg wiring and wire the power portion off the relay to the BLUE/RED lead to the fan. That's high speed.

Even the crude mechanical fan attempts to sync it's performance with the temperature, wiring the efan to be ignition activated ("Always ON") is a step back from that.
Why do you need/want any fan action at all before the thermostat opens?

What is the point of installing the efan if you're not going to exploit it's greatest advantage over stock?

On my Turbo II, I've got my Fiero fan wired in to the Haltech and it ground-switches it on at 193*F and then shuts it off at 188*F. So, in theory, it's not coming on really when the car is going down the highway; just at lower speeds where there's not enough air moving through the front air damn and into the heat exchangers to pull heat out of the rad.
I'm going to have to eyeball your thread a bit more. I think it deserves a sticky.
