Default electric fans from supra fan shroud

I was wondering if anybody has hooked up the electric fans on the TT fan shroud? And if so how much of a pain is it to do or even worth it? Just got a TT fan shroud on receintly and was wondering if I should try and get the electric fans for it as well.

I'm puzzled as to what exactly you're asking? Usually if you're going to run Electric fans, you don't run a fan shroud?

Electric fans bolt directly to the radiator...

the automatic supra turbo fan shroud has a secondary electric fan to help with cooling the transmission

to the OP:
you need to wire up the fan, or at the very least you need to patch the hole up. A shroud with holes in it isnt going to do its job

if I were you I would call Carson Toyota or go to a local dealership and get a new one. the one for my na supra was $50-60


I'm not very good with the wiring, it's probably best to let someone else answer that question

What's the reason to use electric fans? Doesn't the stock one does it's job?

I don't want the hole there. That's why I would like the eectric fans, and it would do a better job if the electric one was there. Has anyone wired up the electric fan for the shroud? Woudl it be similar to wiring FAL electric fans or it there another better way?

it should be very similar to wiring up a set of fal/aftermarket fans. it needs to be supplied a key-on 12v or to a 12v supply with a thermostat or manual switch. Youll probably have to throw a relay in there.
