electric fan, and knocking feel

[craigieeb]

what parts exactly do i need to change the vicious fan and fit an electric one?

ta

also totaly not related to the fan conversion, when im pulling away in 1st i can feel a slight knocking thru the clutch pedal, what could that be??

ta

[koos]

A rad cowl to hold the fan, think M3's have an electric fan, thermo switch in the rad or somewhere in the cooling system, fuse. Or a manual switch
Oh yes, an electric fan. Someone will be along shortly to correct me or add stuff, hold on.........

[Brianmoooore]

Fan and thermo switch from an E34 5 series with aircon, or a seven series, plus somw wire to connect it up to the already existinf relay and fuse sockets in the E30 fusebox.
I've posted more details in M50 c0nversion threads.
gains from doing this will be minimal, unless you're doing it to clear an engine conversion or similar.

cheers, koos & brian

anybody want to take a shot of guessing what the slight tapping is coming thru the clutch pedal??

[optima]

could be warped clutch plate or the thrust bearing on the way out,

craig,i fitted a fan from a s2 rs turbo.Works a treat.Blows through from the front.Temp never goes above half way.
