Default my engine got a little too hott.. Help please!

yea haha the title says it all. i swapped a D16z6 into my 88 CRX Hf about a month ago and for some reason my fans arent coming on to cool the radiator. can anybody help me out and hopefully tell me why the fans arent coming on? could it be because the z6 doesn't have the thermosensor on the back of it like the Stock D15b had? thats the only thing i can think of right now. if anybody has anything just let me know. thanks.

you could just hook your fan up to a toggle switch inside the car.

Bingo! It is now located on the back of the thermostat housing. Thats the radiator fan temperature switch. Extend the old wires to the new location and put the different plug on it.
