[QUOTE="d4ngerz0ne, post: 742241, member: 45572"] Did it ever pass the 105 mark? You're right though, would probably need the 88c thermostat to get away running just the aux fan comfortably. I spoke to the mechanic i normally patron, and it seems that electric fan retrofit is fairly common. Since the m5 guys that run the zionsvilli kit only electric fan use 2070 cfm . (I think i've come across someone in texas that runs it without a problem). My train of thought is if a 2070cfm is sufficient for the v8 , it would be overkill for the I6 ; so i've sources a mishimoto fan that will push 2200cfm (just to be safe). Hopefully i can get this done in the next 2 months, i only get to work on my little projects every other weekend :( nice retrofit, did you DIY ? Did you mount the fan directly to the radiator? I thought the e46 electric fan+relay didn't work properly because it couldn't communicate with the dme? [/QUOTE]
