Default Running radiator fan all the time.

Is there anything negative about jumping your fan to run all the time? I have a turbo setup and the IC is blocking flow to the radiator. I currently have the fan on constantly, and after hard pulls then running up into stop and go traffic the temps slowly climb.

if I pull over and splash a little water on the radiator the needle drops back down so I know for sure that the problem is teh radiator isnt getting enough air to cool it. now I want to add a second fan as a pusher, to suppliment the puller. and have them run constantly. will this be a problem?

I didn't have any problems when I wired my fan to be on all the time. It's electric, not mechanical.

Mine unfortunately is on a switch because it decided It didn't want to work on its own. 3 months on a relayed switch, no problems here.

yea mine done the same thing, my fan never kicked on and my car ran a lil hot but nothing too bad, but i hooked the fan up to a toggle that was a month ago. it still warms up fine because the thermostat doesnt let the water flow until 180degrees anyways, you should be ok.
