I would say maybe look up some aftermarket fans for the FD and then see what the specs are on those.

If its an electical issue to use the fans it can just be fixed with an additonal tranformer or something. I would say try it out of the 4000cfm taurus fans are cheap.

I think the Taurus fan was like 30amps on start up, and 10 while running. How often do you need the e-fan later at night with the lights on?
