Hi peep's,

Going to swap the viscious for the kenlow but a bit lost of where to start? :?

What fan will fit?
How does it attach?
Front or rear of rad? Preferably front.

Going to put a seperate switch aswell as the fan coming on automatically but do i just wire into the wiring to the sensor?

Has anyone else done this before?

This conversion will be on M20 B25.

Any help appreciated :cool:

I used an E32 aircon fan on mine, just about fits in the gap! Very quiet on low speed, you hardly notice it running, but high speed moves a serious amount of air! Would cool down the hottest of engines.

I personally would only put a manual switch into the high speed side of the temp switch wiring.

If you dont have the hole in your rad for the temp switch then pm me and I can get you a T-piece made for the top-hose :wink:
