Running an M50 radiator on my Eta...

[Ryan Stewart]

Has anyone run anything similar in an E30 at all? I am thinking of getting this to replace my leaking radiator and then running it after the swap. My friend has it on his E36 M3 and it seems quality and has been running well for a while.

For the price its kinda like "why not?"

I'm not really the person to ask, but I'd imagine you could get it to work with the right hose setup. Actually, I'm wondering if you are talking about an aluminum radiator or the stock one? If you are talking about an aluminum one Zionsville Autosport sells a similar radiator for almost the same price. But, it comes with a lifetime guarantee as long as you can prove you use BMW coolant and change it every 2 years.

thanks for the link but I am getting a hookup on this one and I dont use BMW coolant. I can guess that lifetime warranty wouldnt apply to a wreck, which is the only situation I coudl see the PRW one breaking, its got prett substantial seams.

This, a Spal fan, and mounting an oil cooler behind those slots this thing should cool well.
