Best cooling for e36 ?

[Ptank]

Hi lads. Currently building an e36 with a m50 2.5 in it. From peoples experience whats the most effective way of cooling these ? Iv no rad or anything so its a blank canvas. All suggestions welcome

From what ive experienced myself alloy rads are a waste in them. Stanard rad with vicso Fan and a eletric on the front if its.a.track car.. Imo anyway.

Cool. Prob just go standard rad with fans front and back so

e36 328 aircon spec rad is what you want

[trd-gt]

waterless coolant with viscous fan welded and an electric fan in front, keep the shroud on the viscous and raise the back of the bonnet to let out hot air

I always wondered what the waterless coolant would be like in an e36. Did it cost much to fill the system?

I didnt get a fan with the engine so ill just run two electrics. So 328 aircon spec rad, fan front and back, waterless coolant and raise the bonnet/ cut a few "speed holes" in it
