Hello, I recently swapped a JDM B16 in my car and I have a Dual Integra Radiator but I dont have the accessories to mount it. So I was wondeing if any of you could tell me how i could hook a switch upto my fan so that i could turn it on... please let me know. I only want to do this so my car will never overheat... thanks...

i would assume you just run a switch inbetween the power and ground. then mount that bad boy where ever ya want

so a wire from the battery to the body of the car or whatever?

easiest way would be to take some female spade connectors, hook those to the pins on the fan. Put one to ground and put one to a switch and then to a positive wire inside the car (Say from something easy like cig. plug/stereo power)


But youre not going to overheat w/ a teg radiator, unless its some other kind of issue

I know I wont overheat with the teg radiator but I dont have the time to do the custom install. I have to put new mounts and everything I dont have the time for that right now....

And another thing, my car used to have strobes in it. In the headlights, I had a switch next to my steering wheel.... i might hook it right upto that. I had taken the strobes out and just cut the wires for the strobes to the switch... would that work??

I'm about to do the same thing to my car, I'll take some pics when I do. Hopefully it'll be soon.

Why don't you just run wires from the second fan to the wires on the first one so they both trun on when the fan switch tells them too? I'm sure you could do this in a couple minutes with some of those plastic wire tap things.

Yea i dont have a second fan... When i got the teg radiator I only got my one stock fan. I dnt have 2, beacuse I got just the radiator from a friend. Brand new.... I was just goonna run the 1 fan... Unless i could use the fan for my ac on it also??? I took out the AC and the fan is still on the AC Core or whatever its called...

you need to just hook the one fan up to your stock fan plug,so it's controlled my the thermo-switch.you will definately not have cooling problems with that rad,and i guarantee if you wire the fan up to a switch,you WILL forget to cut it on sometime(don't ask how i know)and overheat your car.

is there an issue with running the fan the whole time the car is on?

it would take the car longer to warm up,and i guess there's a possibility of it dropping below normal running temp since the fan is running when it isn't required.
on the other hand,it's really no different than driving nonstop where you always have cooling air flowing through the rad from moving.i dunno,hard to say.i CAN say i'd much rather have it running all the time than on a switch-that way there's no chance of forgetting to cut it on.

Cool. I'll see if I can't get more creative, but if not thats how I'll run it.

so should i run 2 fans or only 1 when I install the teg radiator? Ive read the write up on Hybrid Honda and the single fans seems like it would do great.... which should i do? Let me know. Thanks
