Then good luck...
Radiator fan that actually work, will only come on for a short time. My twin 12" Spals will come on for 6-15 secs if car temp is 205-210 if sitting in traffic depending on outside temp (they flow close to 2000CFM....a PIECE!). Cools down to 185 and done.
Also, please check on EbAY fan ratings. It seems the way they come up with 2000CFm is some black magic and unicorn juice mixed in. The 20AWG wire they provide with most of their kits will burn up within the first 2 secs of operation......
P.S You cannot measure coolant temp by measuring they radiator surface temp. That's just NOT the way it works, so please do not use that as any basis of measurement. That's how people blow shit up......
Get a proper Temp probe or use a VDO or any other reputable brand. You are literally shooting in the dark now and not providing us with useful info to diagnose considering your methods of measurement. There is a reason a temp prob is placed in CONTACT with the working fluid, not on top of the medium (radiator) the coolant travels through. The whole point of a heat exchanger is just that. Transfer heat from one medium to another. So chances are the radiator external temps are several degrees higher than the working fluid (coolant).

Thanks for your input, as far a measurement of temps, i listed all the areas (top of radiator, front of condenser, lower radiator hose thats attached to the thermostat inlet pipe) i point the tool to get those reading temps i mentioned above posts. My water temp sensor is in the top radiator hose. P2M of phase 2 motor sells a upper radiator hose that goes to radiator to the water neck, in the middle of that hose is where my water temp sensor is. I would like to have an water neck from the s14 sr because is has the bleeder screw and a place for a water temp sensor. Im still also trying to fix my gauge clusetet too. It goes from cold to hot in about 5 to 7 minutes of idle while my gauges read 140. I replaced the smaller one wire sensor from sr to a ka one and still does the samething. I have a spare sr sensor and a spare sensor that goes to ecu also but havent switch to test it. Could you link me to the twin spals you have and will they fit my fan shroud? Again thanks for your info and continue with more info.
