Default S13 Electric Radiator fan?

I am looking to install an electric radiator fan(s) to replace my clutch fan on my s13. I need help with what size fan(s) i need?, Will it run cool enough with one fan?, and how do i hook a thermostat up to the fans so that they kick on at a certain tempature?

I purchased a single 12" fan for mine with it wired to be on full time. I've never had a single issue with it and have run cooler than stock no matter what my driving situation is.

hit up a junkyard and pull all of the parts out of a car with an electric fan set up. If you are good at following wires, then you will find the thermostat for it too. The key thing is to get a fan that will fit on the radiator. Don't do the dumb thing I did and get a whole set up just to find out the fan was too big... I had to go back and get some taurus fans and wire those in.. lol...

Like the massive cracks every one I've ever seen has? Send a fan blade through the rad and you'd be just as eager as I've always been to rip them off and throw them away.
