Excellent!
I'm not sure why it couldn't be plug & play if it used a variable voltage input for speed control (feeding a transistor fed by the supplied beefier relay), but as stated above, this is well beyond my field of expertise. Pulse width modulation sounds like it would be much more precise than voltage modulation though.
The only issue I could foresee is that, if the car "knew" through coding that it had an 850w fan instead of a 600w unit, it may decide in a certain situation that it only needed say 80% of the 850w unit's speed rather than 100% of the 600w's. I don't see this as a biggee though, it will just cool things down a little faster.
