        It actually get's very hot here in the summer not for long but it does. And we get no breez so the humidity is stupid and coupled with all the car fumes it's horrible, Never had an issue with heat as the e32 ac fan produces more air than any viscous fan especially in traffic at idel. Btw I used to live in malaga spain where it is proberly hotter for longer and has torist traffic, No issuses there with my mates turbo m30 or my old 2.7 with electric fan conversion !!!.

          Where is Doghnut? He has an M30 out here. In fact it gets fucking hot and fucking humid (sometimes both at the same time) I've never heard of anyone with a highly strung car having issues with a leccy fan when it's sized right and you have a good shroud/undertray

                here is pics of my conversion. i am sure that i will over heat my engine and warp the head now since i *2* electric fans . (one pusher, a pusher from a Z-3 roadster and a 2500CFM flex-a-lite puller.) the puller is wired with an E36 temp switch the low speed and when it hits high speed BOTH fans come on. it has to get up to just over 1/2 on the temp gauge before the puller will come on and with in 30-45 seconds the temp drops to UNDER 1/4. no shroud, STOCK radiator. i am putting a musimoto in in a couple of weeks though for the extra heat from boosting the new motor.

                it gets HOT here and stays hot and shitty for most of the summer. NO issues at all.









                i have cleaned up and loomed the wiring since these pics were taken.

                when you FINALLY give in and go electric. i can forward you a simple wiring diagram to wire both fans up.

                  May I ask what compressor you are using and did you have to have custom lines made?

                  Would you mind PM me the diagram? I am going to go electric from the start.

                                no prob. i will when i get back home.

                                as for the a/c lines, are you running a rotary comp or the stock comp?
                                you are supposed to get new lines made up with the rotary. i don't know why though. my stock lines bolted up th the rotary comp. i did get lucky 2 weeks ago and found a car that had the conversion so i snagged the remade lines for my car.
