E36 325i Sedan Fan Delete Mod Episode 8

Mine was very noisey so I took it out from fear of it exploding… my car sounds awesome now. Hoping I survive the start of Australian summer while I wait for my cooling overhaul electric fan stuff to arrive. Thanks for documenting and for your insight

I used a real temp sensor in the head instead of the dummy gauge. Rarely got over 100c in the Louisiana summer heat. You should be fine. If everything else holds up.

I do recommend to use a waterpump with a plastic impeller with good bearings, because the extra weight of the metal impeller can wear out the bearings fast and you can have a potential scenario that the impeller eats in your head

How is your setup running. Any issues with over heating.?

[@plinkynut]

my e36 fan exploded and i'm debating leaving the fan off and replacing everything else as you did in this video did you happen to run into any cooling issues since?

[@hackedfab8090]

Biggest cooling issue was just bleeding the system after. Which is a pain in the ass in itself regardless of efan or clutch fan. Summer is coming so if I do run into issues my plan is to remove the existing aux fan and run a two stage puller fan fan and just use the existing aux fan wiring and relay system to power it as opposed I wiring a stand alone set up as I see others doing.

Let me know if you think the car will overheat with no clutch fan?? Also that weird airbox sensor is apparently a thermostat switch that allows coolant to flow through the throttle body in low temperatures. so that is now gone. RIP in peace.

Did you ever run into any issues?!?

[@hackedfab8090]

No issues! But I must tell you my AC doesn’t work so I’m not sure how it would perform on a hot day in traffic with the AC working. I still have all the condenser and AC equipment on the car but I just roll the windows down. I would try to get it sealed up and test it but it’s not my daily so I don’t mind riding with the windows down.
