    Jeff, Do you have a link to what sensor you used ?

    Brian, thanks a ton. I think I am going to start with a pusher but if there are issues, I will move it to puller.

          My pusher works really well, but in summer (like last summer, my car over heated ALOT. 90+ all summer... I wanna switch to puller. but my damn clutch fan won't release.

            Brian, I just ordered the tool for the fan and can help you get that off. 

            These radiators really lose a lot of flow when they age. I never overheated in day to day driving but the car was HOT on the track. A new radiator is being ordered as part of this build. 

            When new, the rads work very good and they are only about 175 bucks new.

                      Ha ! ... I didn't mean it that way .. I was pointing out my awful grammar ... 

                      Jeff, that sensor goes in the rad where the aux fan temp sensors were ?? Am I thinking of that correctly ??

                        yes in the radiator where the aux fan sensor goes. take the sensor out go to lowes or napa and get the adaptor so you can thred it in the radiator. the sensor is 1/8npt thred.

                            I have a brand new radiator in the 535I. still warms up. I got my radiator for $100 shipped. Autopartswarehouse= direct fit, not a single problem. rad showed up, no fins bent, nothin.

                                        I have a 16" slim fit spal puller on my e30 with the relay kit from bimmerworld if you need any more advice.. wired it up to the AC temp switch on radiator so that it kicks on right when the coolant needle passes half way..

                                          I ran a 16" pusher in front of my m20 radiator with the m50 swap, rarely need to use it But its a great thing to have in case.

                                          Would have ran it as a puller, but it wouldn't fit between the radiator and the motor..... Lol.
