Default Mizu Fan shroud question

I am looking into purchasing a Mizu fan shroud/radiator set-up but I have noticed that the Mizu fans have 2 wires per fan vs the stock which has 4 each. I am not very electrical savvy and I am curious as to the difficulty I would incur and what I would have to do to get the fans connected since the connectors would not fit.

I found a few other threads but there was too much electrical jargon for me to understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

make sure you get a 14in spal fan to replace one of those 12in fans. Honestly br0, I dont think its worth the headache, oem fans are better imo...

I had electric fans with very similar designs and the oem output was wayyyyy better

Simple to wire up, look at the posted diagrams and match the colors.

So if you run the Mizu shroud with 14" SPAL fans it doesn't cool as well as stock? Are you guys letting the ECU control the fans?

Question

BUMP

Has anyone found out yet what the CFM rating is for the Mizu fans? I checked the mizuracing.com site and they don't list the CFM ratings. I'm curious how they compare to the Mishimoto fans. I've seen some threads and posts about the Mishimoto fans being insufficient and not flowing much CFM (hence why some had added 14" Spal fans). I've also seen some fitment complaints about the Mishimoto shroud. I was wondering how the Mizu compares and whether it is much better.
