So I am told there are a total of 3 fans on the turbo version supra correct? The first fan is the big on of course. Then there is the AC heater Fan which is the smaller one right next to Main one. And I am told theres one on the radiator somewhere else for turbo version correct?

Well my car was a NA swap to a Turbo and that third fan was never included so I am sure the cars allot hotter then normal. My car does not have AC or so but that fan is on there still. Is there anyway I can get that to run at all time to help with the cooling rather just leaving it there? I would take it out but then that was leave a empty hole so its pointless. Will I need to run a relay or something? Any help would be nice.

Yeah I live where its 100+ ish with 2 hour traffic when it should only taken me 20 minutes to get there.

Plus I just want to put that fan to use but do not know how to rewire it to run without melting any wire. Is running a relay what I need?

ok are you talking about the two fans on the inside of the engine bay that are stacked on top of eachother? i have wired these straight to a switch/fuse then to the battery,, get a good size gauge wire.. get shrink tubing.. dont use a plastic switch..
I did this and it worked fine.
in 100 degrees and traffic you WILL need those fans. i was in similar conditions a while back so i wired my fans all to turn on together, and stay on the whole time my car was on, which worked great.

remember though, do NOT do any shortcuts or halfass work (not judging you)
because you will regret it.. make it look good, hide the wiring, protect it accordingly with some plastic tubing, etc.

Thank You, going to do it this weekend. My car only has two fan. That third turbo small fan was never installed from the last owner.
