The e28 radiator didn't cool my m30 very well fwiw, but it probably is a hell of a lot more hot/humid down here

It wasn't overheating, the fan was just running a lot. I think the e36 m3 radiator or M-coupe radiator would be a better option, but I know clearance is tight with those- '88 m54 coupe

I'd go with the Z3M S54 radiator if you want extra cooling capacity.1974.5 Jensen Healey : 2003 330i/5

Here's what I'm working with. It's about 3/8". This is a m20 rad for mocking. I get the feeling I'm pretty far back around position 3. Any idea how much thicker the z3 one is? b34 btdubs on this one. I don't remember what incarnation Mr. Burns was swapping in.

Ether that's decent. Throw on the plugs and you might make it.
I'm as far back as I can go insofar as the the engine/firewall will permit.
I'll hammer in another inch or so up around/below fan panel for good measure.

The pulley to radiator clearance is about the same, but yeah. I'll most likely end up doing wasted spark on MS2.Originally posted by Andy.BWhenever I am about to make a particularly questionable decision regarding a worryingly cheap diy solution, I just ask myself, "What would Ether-D do?"
