and doesnt the intercooler cover the whole front of rad with volvo IC, only person i recall having overheating problems was when toby had his fan reversed so it was blowing air away from rad, or when stationary would of been sucking air from around engine and blowing it into rad.

i was looking through an old Total BMW mag earlier, coz i wanna get my diff rebuilt, and i found an Aussie E36 318iS M42, with an Eaton Supercharger on it. apperently, its an off-the-shelf kit?! so its definately possible!! now i just gotta be the first to put it in an E30!!!

stuart, sadly you wouldn't be the first to put one on an e30! look at the DASC on the link i put up earlier on this thread for pal. DASC is an off-the-shelf kit with a sexy manifold, very nicely made and put together, and they do a kit for the e30 now so you no longer have to mod an e36 kit to work. there's quite a few out there, grassroots motorsport recently fitted one to their e30 318is and got like 200bhp odd iirc. there's quite a few m42s running them, there used to be some chap in the UK with one on an e36, havent heard anything on that particular one for ages though.
