So waiting for me at home I have two electric fans, courtesy of junkyard Sentras. :) I got a diagram of how to wire them off the internet, but if possible I would like to wire them to a thermostat so they will turn on and off automatically with the engine temperature.

So my question is, what kind of thermostat am I looking for? And where can I get one?

you can get them from hotrod stores,like summitracing(.com) or jegs(.com) but the domestic stuff is usually big and kinda 80's lookin. pivot sells one that is really nice lookin.it's a quarterdin size controller that displays water temp,and oil temp.and controls fan engagement. i've seen them on ebay for around $100.search for pivot fan controller

autozone is where i got my thermo-switch from. they had two, one adjustable and one constant temp on/off. the adj. unit was cheaper so that was pretty cool. i used a set of dual fans from a taurus sho. the bigger fan comes on at the proper temp. and the smaller fan i can control from inside the car at any time. the thermo controlled fan only works when the key is either in acc or on. with both on at the same time is pretty cool.
