If you ever hook your fan up to 12V youll see why I did not suggest you do that.
A. Scary loud
B. Gonna kill the fan SOON
C. Pulls the car down the road about 6 MPH.
OUr fans operate at about 4 volts average power and when hot goes up to about 8 volts. 12 is way too much and it will not last, but dont take my word, give it a try there sport.
OH yeah youll need heavy gauge wires to keep from melting the conductors.

Disclaimer for the knowledgeable. I'm completely ignorant about our fan control, fuse box and electronics in general.
So I need a 6 volt accessory battery to connect the fan to for track days? You know what I mean? A switch or perhaps just a battery and a bit of correct gauge wire. Unplug the fan from one and plug in the other. I guess it would be easier to remove my ECU and sent it and $800.00 to someone for a tune instead to get my fan on for track days. Oh, if only I could read schematics and knew what all those funny symbols mean. I just want the fan on at the track, not the street. I just may try it my method .... or send my money and ECU to a tuner.
