      Going to try a summit 2-row radiator. I'll let you know how it handles the heat. I measure the max dimendions and stuffed it in there. Has room for dual fans and intercooler.

        Im running an old nathans that a buddy had layin around from his nova. Same demensions as the e30 rad just like a 3" rather then 1" then cut out the rad support and moved rverything forward so i could fit a taurus fan behind it. Nvr gets above 192 now with the t fan.

          Haven't updated in a while. I've ditched the turbo setup and went with aluminum heads and a custom grind cam.

          This time around I'll be using a short block I rebuilt. I am going for a reliable build I don't have to monitor so closely like a boosted application.
          I'm pretty close to having this thing done. I'm waiting for a buddy to finish welding my exhaust flanges.

          This picture shows that e30v8 brackets need to be notched for clearance and reinforced as they started bowing.

                Another small update. THR bushings came in and I wasn't feeling the fruity green. Stripped them and did a quick polish, then I finished them off with clear.

                    Been driving my e30 for about a month working out some bugs. Everything seems solid as of right now.

                    The wilwood slave/master/pedal kit has been a pain in the ass but I did my research and I made it work.

                    I'll post a link where I found the same problem and solution. Basically the threaded rod attached to the piston backs out and leaks at the the o-ring.

                                225/45 falkens wheels are 15x8. They don't hook in 1st even with a 2.93diff. I really want to try a set of Hankook rs3's.
