24V Radiator Options

I found a Nissen from a e36 4cylinder in great condition (ltsted for leak) at the junkyard for $30. I'm planning to run this

id recommend a e36 mishimoto radiator,
I have been running one for about a year

butters - How are you overheating with your m42 radiator with a 16" puller fan??? I have a 14" pusher fan in front of my m42 radiator and it will keep the temp just above half when sitting in traffic on a summer day. Granted, I have to run my fan on high to keep temps down but I don't know how you would have a problem with a bigger fan in a pulling position.

Do you have your fan hooked up to the thermal switch on the radiator?

I don't have it hooked up to the switch, I manually turn it on via the a/c button. I realize I don't have "high" this way, but I can imagine how rough the engine would idle if I did run it on a higher voltage.

Sorry for thread jacking but butters, what fan do you run? And how thick is it?

[butters]

I run the very typical SPAL 16 inch "slim" fan mounted on some of Massive's brackets modified to fit the narrower M42 radiator. I think they're only 1" thick?
