[QUOTE="Jipster, post: 46184, member: 97"] Charles dude....apparently for us 6 potters the fan clutch conversion thing is not as straightforward due to clearance problems...if u noticed our engines dun have much space between engine and radiator.....dun even have nice big fan shroud like the 318s.... BUT it is certainly doable....either by custom electric fan job or......have to be creative here....an electric fan from another (non udm) car.....I've read about a fan from a ford escort RS turbo (!!) (check this link [url=http://www.geocities.com/punniracing/]http://www.geocities.com/punniracing/[/url] see the 2.7's specs)....... So its doable but I dunno if anyone wants to spend time and money on R&D for this......Kev can u confirm this? Is there anyone out there with a successful conversion for 6 pot E30s? 'Sounds like a Merc' ..........yes it does doesnt it? :) [/QUOTE]
