POLL: All out on the M30 or go back to M20?

What have you done already to try and fix the problem? There are several things you can do before resorting to craziness.

Erick, you need to post more videos, drifting or not. LONGER videos, if possible. Back on the issue, how does that rear-mount rad work? would you be running hoses thru the car's interior? If your car is already stripped I don't see why it should be very expensive or complicated to mount it in the trunk.

^ Thank you, I was having a hard time searching for it on e30tech!

There's an ongoing thread about that, where many have been helping out with suggestions for me to attempt in order to resolve this. I've replaced every single cooling component, down to the headgasket with little to no success. Coolant flushes, new thermostats, removal of thermostats, etc. It's on the M30 & Other Swaps section.

You need a bigger radiator and a new one not a junk yard one.
I run around the streets with my turbo M30 dogging the shit out of it with out any over heating at all.

It's a brand new e28 radiator Otis! :p

There's something wrong with that motor. It's got plenty of cooling capacity with all stock parts. Don't be crazy.

It's really tough to accept that when the motor looks to be in such great shape when it was taken apart. But considering all that's been done in hoping to solve this overheating issue (I know you've been following up on my thread... and thank you for that btw!) it might be the answer. I just have a hard time accepting it.
