[QUOTE="valvetronix, post: 742205, member: 25563"] Last time when my fan clutch was shot, temperature easily creeps up to 100-105c mark when stuck in jam even with aux fan on. After I replaced with a new unit, temp stays at 98-99c most of the time. I dont think its a good idea to just run on aux fan here in Malaysia, unless you're using lower temp thermostat i.e 88c. But I am interested in doing the electric fan conversion, my mech is doing some experiments on his car now. If it's a success then I'll follow through. Technically it's quite a straightforward process but my only concern is how is the setup going to hold up in our weather. I'm running on M52 so I would benefit from the lesser parasitic drag.
