Message	engine for what 5 rwhp (if that -- never seen a dyno) .. you can have a fully functionally electric fan not run and overheat your engine because a cheap thermistor or relay goes bad ....these are not OEM designed electrical components road tested for severe under the hood driving conditions ( wet / cold / heat ) ... if the electric fan setup is designed to come on and off in the ecu based on engine temp as read from the temp sensor .... I would be a little more comfortable with the application ... IMHO, it's foolish to use cheap non OEM components that may have a catastrophic impact on an otherwise good running Z. =============Sig begins here================ The Devils Z.com The Devils Z Pic 666 rwhp dyno The Demon Z pic (in progress) View Me!
