Although I agree with Dave Swingle this exercise was not without merit. In an extreme case if the cooling fans were to fail at least the list now has the knowledge that you could sustain cooling if you can keep the foward motion of the car above 35-40 mph. This could be usefull in an emergency and could be a good "get home" tip. To carry this to a further logical conclusion maybe Fanzilla could be speed controlled so that above a certain speed it could cycle 1 and then 2 fans off. Admittidly this would involve complicating the electrical circuit but with the level of quality that the Zilla products have I would be very confident in it. On automatics it would be easy, it just has to know when you are in 3rd gear! And if there was a Transzilla it could be a plug in affair.
