I have a swapped car, and I am thinking about drifting it
how reliable is the m50 with drifting (high RPM abuse)?
any known problems?

You have Honda = I talk shit -
Its as reliable as you make it. Find a nice one and rebuild it up right. -
oil pump nut is the only thing i can think of that could cause a failiure... some red locktite fixes the problem...Comment

Secure the oil pump nut (loctite isn't secure in an oil bath - safety wire or weld it). You may have oil starvation issues as well.
Beyond that, cooling is important as a drifting car has poor airflow across the radiator.2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD 4WD LBZ/Allison

I think they are bullet proof, more than an m20 at least. My m50 e36 has been running forever with nothing more tan oil changes and basic tune ups!harry/harout

nothing safe about high rpm 24v :P
only real issue is airflow. you should do your best to fit a clutch fan.Comment

I only had cooling problems after boost got above 10psi. NA should be fine. Just make sure your engine is up to date on cooling parts.
