Pointless, the standard viscous does the job perfectly.
You could fit an electric fan, but why cause yourself more work

Upgrade in what way? As said above, the standard set up does all that's required, so what is there to upgrade?

modern semi-synths can come just fine with the heat of the m20 without the heat exchanger.

im running an electric fan setup on mine.. no earth shattering gains anywhere or anything but wngine seems to warm up marginally quicker and temperature seems to be kept around the halfway mark a bit better.
im running a 16 inch universal push/pull mounted on the front of the rad as a pusher controlled by one of those cheapy adjustable thermostats with the probe u slip into a coolant hose. running that setup for a good 4 months or so with no issues.

im using a 14" electric volvo push fan, i find it better in traffic, doesnt sap the power of the car like a viscous does ,also in traffic fan will come on and cool engine better than viscous imo,
and before anyone pops up with comments, this is my opinion,
and my viscous, blue sensor, and any other part of my car was fine and running right
