I just got in my Mishimoto Fan Shroud kit. I have the Expansion Tank already and a Fan Controller Kit on the way. I bought the 1/8 NPT sensor version.
I am going to use an inline NPT water temperature sensor adapter. I may or may not get Mishimoto, it will all depend on delivery dates, I need it before the Christmas holiday.
This is basically what I am looking to use:
The adapters are made in different diameters, and I only have one shot to get this before Christmas.
My question is: Which diameter do I get?
I realize that this may depend on what hoses I have, and the problem is that I can't measure the end of the hose because they are step down hoses.
Here are the hoses that I have:
Upper Radiator Hose: FEBI (Ferdinand Bilstein Gmbh) #37130
Lower Radiator Hose: Rein Automotive #CHR0014R
If anyone who has done this to their E36 can help me with this, I will greatly appreciate it.
I think i figured it out. I eye measured the outside diameter by putting a measuring tape next to it, and the OD looks like 1 1/2". I measured the thickness of the hose on one side which looks like 1/8" so times that by 2 and subtract it from the OD and I come up with 1 1/4"
1.25" converts to a 31.75mm ID, so the 32mm should be nicely snug on there.
I ordered a Mishi unit and it should be here at the first of next week.
All is well, as you were...

bruh. Fan Controller Kit is a rip off. Just wire it into the exist aux fan wiring harness and switch the fuse from a 35A to a 40A. Its 15AWG cable so it ought to support it. That's the way I've been doing it at least. Works great and looks OEM.
Maybe, but I have all of it on the way now. I will do a clean job of it. I do like the capability of adjusting the temp at which the fan kicks on.
We'll see how it goes. I just want to get rid of the PITA stock shroud and mechanical fan. I am already going to be removing them to do the Water Pump and all the rest so it is a good time to ditch them.
