    Where to place NPT cooling sensor for electric fan conversion

    Hey guys

    I am researching the parts needed for my cooling overhaul. Plan on changing to an electric fan. I have read buildjournal.com DIY using the Aux fan controller and prefer to leave my aux fan and controller in tact. The next options would be a Mishimoto fan kit with the NPT sensor (vs the probe) but I am leaning toward a CSF or Koyo radiator due to cost and better performance. The Mishimoto radiator is nice as it has the NPT bung welded in to thread on the NPT sensor for the electric fan conversion. The Mishimoto wiring kit comes with the 1/8" NPT sensor. If I go with the Koyo or the CSF I'm not sure where to put the 1/8" NPT sensor for the wiring kit. Two options I have come across. Mishimoto sells an inline radiator hose coupler with a 1/8" NPT bung which could work (I have see others use this would need 38 mm https://www.mishimoto.com/mishimoto-...BoCeRQQAvD_BwE) or VAC sells a manifold with a 1/8" NPT tapped hole which replaces the factory part which connects to the thermostat housing (https://store.vacmotorsports.com/vac...old-p1768.aspx).

    Or should I just pull off the aux fan controller and use that.

    I’d just stick with an OE radiator, ditch the OE controller and wire a switch into the upper radiator hose.

      Can you share the same stock lower hose sensor with the new e-fan controller? I think it should work and just splice in the wires together.
