How are you going to fit two fans on the radiator? Are these fans the same size as stock?

It sound like you have a major problem with the cooling system...

A fan is NOT going to fix that...

I'd start inspecting components...

How fast does it overheat...

could just be the thermostat... or something else simple...

Oh and you may want to go with the dual core delsol radiator if you upgrade that.
