i used a m20 viscous fan a it was perfect but i used a 635csi rad that was very slim

luckily the wiring on mine was already done as i bought it ready. but the m30 is so simple a easy. i much prefer the m50 as a whole though

ive done both these conversions and id say the m30 is the easiest provided you have all the parts like mounts a prop to hand.

1.Ric325i - m30, chipped - claimed 236bhp (sorned at the mo ) 2.Driftboy - M30, almost standard at presesnt - been my daily driver for over a year. 3.Gareth - Diff breaker 4.FlappySocks - Just need a prop, and exhaust manifold, (3.64 diff & Megasquirt) 5. gall - m30 sport engine, chipped to. scary f...

ive had both lol. a the m50 was far easier a quicker a cheaper to do and a much better all round lump. now bk to the m20
