I depinned stock relays to run 12 gauge wire that feed the efans.
I jumped the second fan relay to come on with the first one - out puts have a 12 gauge wire to the fans.
No fire, no melted relays everything dandy.

I would not recommend to use the stock wires since they are 18-20 gauge thin on aftermarket e fans. I wouldn?t even recommend doing it the way I did. Honestly if you do not understand the relationship between the proper wire gauge for the amp current for your appliance please have a professional electrician do this, failure to follow proper procedures will result in a fire.

You know what... I had that before, and I actually had better cooling with the OEM one. I thought I installed it wrong; triple checked, even flipped it... but ya.. I dunno.

There's another brand that makes like... a stock clutch fan blade but it's got more blades. Oh, right. GP Sports. Looks like this: https://www.nengun.com/gp-sports/megatech-cooling-fan

I mainly wanted to go electric fans because it's way more convenient to work on the car with less stuff in the way.
