Default Hooking up extra cooling fan...how should i do it?

My friend gave me one of his old stock prelude fans. I only have one fan now and a blank spot on other side. I was planning on using this new fan for extra cooling, and just run it all the time. Where is the best place to tap the power into. I want it to come on when i crank the car and run constanly.

Put a relay on it or enjoy watching your car burn to the ground. Just wire a relay onto the large black and yellow wire on your dizzy.

more info please... One says that is pointless to use the prelude fan, and the other says car will burn. Please, a little more details.

why not just make connections off the stock fans wiring? Then it would turn on w/ the stock fan
