Has capability to be operated manually, turns on with A/C, has delay for operation while starting, and runs after shutdown. It runs at 60% and as temp increases it goes to 100%. Issue may have been with fan placement, but I was limited to how far I could mount it away from the radiator.

Anyhow, I think manual is the way to go.

Ahhh yes, that's the one I was going to go with but they were sleeping over there at Flex-A-Lite and I needed one before they finished that. Plus back then theirs would only control one fan will mine will control up to 35amps. And now his controller does 50amps! The DCC controller came with an LED that goes from green (fans off) to red (fans 100%) that is an awesome indicator to put right next to the water temp gauge. I've got a switch that is auto, 50% manual on, and 100% manual on. Mine also runs when the key is off... Its cool to hear em spool when the motor is off, and sometime when the car heat soaks they turn back on for a couple seconds.

what did you pay for those twin Spal 12" fans?
Anybody know a good source for Spals?

Thanks in advance,
John

I paid $280 for both of those fans.... Yeah they are expensive but in this case you definitely get what you pay for, after having the original eBay fans fail (which weren't even a normal size even though they were supposed to be 12") I spent the money and will next time too. Spal's are worth every penny!

I got mine from a local off road shop called KarTek. http://www.kartek.com/Product/Cooling/SPAL.html

I'm pretty sure this is the one I went with in that application: http://www.spalusa.com/store/main.aspx?p...m=30102029
