Re: Dual Electric Fans

You should be able to take the blades off one of the motors and turn it around making it blow the same direction as the other. Which direct depends one where you plan to put the fans. But you always want the fans to pull cold air into the engine bay, so if you mount the fans on the front of the rad you want the fans to push, and if you mount the fans behind the rad you want them to pull.

Re: Dual Electric Fans

They are DC motors, just reverse the positive and negative to make them turn the same way. Or put one in front of the radiator and one behind it.
