M30b35 in it's new home, Cone filter was temporary:

[ck_taft325is]

Without a heat shield, doesn't your intake suck massive amounts of hot air, Doughnut? Just curious as I've been considering the M30 swap instead of the M5x.

How much did this M20 cost???

[Be30mer]

^^^^thats such a badass m20, i didnt even recognize it with the hartge intake manifold, ITB's, valve cover, and spark plug set up.

Is this the 91 318is radiator that has the sidetank instead of the std overflow? I really want to declutter my engine bay.

Still needs lots of work.

[White325is]

sure is.

[ColdAccord]

what did you use? e36 overflow is on the drivers side. m42 rad?

[White325is]

Its a 91 318is rad with e34 M50 rad hoses. Gotta trim the ends back on the rad hoses, rub some lube on the inside of the hoses and hope like hell you dont have trouble squeezing them on like I did.

[ColdAccord]

is that rad sufficient?

[MR 325]

is that rad sufficient?

Yes.

[omar85]

I haven't had any problems with it just street driving. No track days yet with this setup.

[White325is]

is that rad sufficient?

Why wouldnt it be? So many people on the forums and I have always ran them on my M20s and M/S swaps.
Just make sure you run a 16 inch fan, and a cooler temp switch on the side of that rad that turns the fan on.
