Ok, first off the bat, I'm gonna remove the Viscous fan, and install an electric one... just thinking how do I wire it up, to the temp switch ? If I buy a fan should it come with a plug ? and also what size fan ?

2nd, I want to do a big brake conversion, was thinking of using 330i calipers and 300mm disks (also I heard that E39 528i brake calipers r the same ? can anyone confirm) ... was thinking it shouldn't be to hard, just a bracket 2 offset the caliper ?

3rd, I'm gonna wire a switch 2 my fuel pump 2 turn it off, and on... Viable ? thought it would make a good safety thing, turn it off and u can't start the car...

4th, I'm gonna run standalone management, cause to get a chip is gonna cost just as much, and then I don't have 2 do the MAF conversion, I can just run a MAP sensor... and be finished. Was just thinkin what features I should look into having on the management ?

I was thinking of running a local system www.mrturbo.co.za ? what u guys think ?

Apparently a good electric fan to use is one off an escort RS Turbo, not sure if you have them over in SA though....
