Engine + Driveline / Re: Fan Delete Mod ... with a/c ??
« on: June 01, 2013, 12:00:20 PM »
I've been reading through the various fan delete mod postings and am considering doing this on my '91 E30 318i, similar to those done by cristimm and deekay a few years back.
I'm sick of hearing the howling clutch fan and my goal is to replace it with an electric one from the E36 318 (p/n: 64508372039) plugged into the cars' a/c fan harness, along with the 80/88 degree temp switch (p/n: 61318361787). From what I've read, this seems to be the hot setup ....actually I guess it's the cool setup!
What I haven't been able to find is if anyone has done this and is still running a/c, and if this single electric fan will provide sufficient engine and a/c condenser cooling. Most folks indicate that they've ripped the a/c out of the car but I'm keeping mine and want to be sure the fan mod will work. Sorry if this has already been addressed but I couldn't find any posts about it.
Thanks
