Extra e-fan for hot summer!!!
Summer is here and living in a city with a lot of stop and go traffic kinda makes one keep an eye on the water temperatures a lot. and i already took some precautions to keep me on the safe side.
Mazda Competition Aluminum Radiator
Radiator Silicon Hoses
Petit Aluminum AST
Petit Down Pipe
2 bottles of "WATER WETTER"
most mods on my FD are Reliability ones and was thinking of doing the "Electric Fan Mod" but then i said to myself...
"Why not add another E-Fan like a Thin Flex A Lite In Front of the Radiator with a switch in side the cabin to turn on when ever i want it very similar to the E-Fan Mod to keep those temps down especially during those hot summer nights"
i was thinking running this mod with the stock fans what you do you guys think
so far im doing the corner light trick to turn on the stock e fans low speed during the day...

Sir Braps A lot
the stock fans should be enough to keep the car cool, i say run the car turn the AC on and watch the fans. see if they are running properly you may have a bad fan.

Are you having problems with your temps?
If everything is good with your cooling system you will not need an extra E-fan to keep the car cool.

Im not familiar with the e-fan mod you are talking about but you probably don't want the fans running at high speed all the time. Just get a FC thermo switch to make them come on earlier or if you get a pfc have them set to come on sooner. Lowering the temp they switch in is a good idea but you should let them cycle thru the speeds as they were meant to.

Unless you have a big front mount intercooler restricting airflow I wouldn't do anything. You'll just stress the electrical system.
I would recommend you install an FC thermoswitch if you haven't already. Otherwise you will be fine... 200F is not hot enough to be a problem. There are piston engines running at 220F (and sometimes hotter) all day long.
