Mishimoto Questions

[sharky]

OK so instead of using the perfectly fine E36 radiator that I have I am going to go with the Mishimoto.
Do I use the E36 size one and just fab some brackets or is there a better option?

What about a overflow? I need external but where to put it? Whats a good overflow option?

Can I use a pusher fan (slim) in front of it instead of the large stock plastic one?

Any help on this or other concerns is greatly appreciated as I am starting to order all my parts.

I think the E36 rad is too wide, I might be wrong.

Use the E30 M20 sized rad and use all the stock overflow stuff.

They are the same.:D

To the OP, use the e36 mishimoto rad. You will need the E30 late model expansion tank from a 325i.

Yes a nice pusher fan can go ahead of the rad. Works quite well.

Awesome, anyone reccomend a good but resonable priced pusher fan?

I've only seen a 5 series one, I made the assumption that they were the same.

Spal fans are the way to go.

Perma Cool makes some nice ones too. I used to run one, but it busted, and I had a SPAL laying around.

You can use either the mishimoto e30/e36 and run any late model overflow, or run a 318 m42 radiator and have the overflow built in.

We just put an E36 Mishimoto in my buddies car. Bullshit fitment. TBH

^Really? I've put them in E36's before without any issues...

[jrdeamicis]

Yup, The shroud did not fit right at ALL.

Did they claim the stock shroud would fit?
