m30 help

[TW166Y]

yep me again

just wondering fella's do i need to order a different servo for the brakes or will my 318 servo be ok? also which is the best electric fan to use? thanks again pete

[Andy335Touring]

Servo should be ok, i'm using an E32 fan, not sure which model it came from though

[ant2]

i have a "14 spal bolted to the front of my rad pushing air into the engine bay and on an e28 rad it just keeps it cool enough

[TW166Y]

well my e28 rad came in the post yesterday, just got to find a fan to keep it cool now. these babies get hot, hot, hot!

are you using your stock servos then lads?

[ant2]

no i use an e36 m3 one as it was Ԛ£10 and my 325 one was nackered but it isnt a direct fit

[TW166Y]

how will i know if my servo is no good? bare in mind that i only have disks at the front too! well atleast for another week anyway, then im converting it all to dosks.. will that be ok with the standard servo then?

I found I had a clearance issue with the M30 inlet manifold / servo / heater pipes so I fitted the Mk1 Golf GTI servo. It is smaller in diameter but thicker so might be similar capacity to an E30 one. ?

I'm using drilled and grooved discs all round with EBC Greenstuff pads and generally find the brake pedal heavy and the brakes totally inadequate!
I want to upgrade as soon as I can afford it!

If your servo is working ok then I would use that - if you can fit it in the space or move it slightly if needed. It's the rest of the brakes I'd worry about with an M30 in there!

more money

cheers for the help though mate, sounds like you have a good setup there too how come yopr brakes are no good with all of that cash sitting on them?

[DRIFTBOY]

It might just be that my last two cars had excellent stoppers and I've been spoilt!

My last car was a Mazda RX7 twin turbo which when it was launched in 1992 had some of the most powerful brakes on a standard production road car, before that I had an S13 Nissan 200sx with massive 4-pot calipers off a Nissan 300zx.

I didn't spend that much on my brakes (thanks to Ebay!) but I wish I'd just bought a 4-pot caliper kit for the E30 to start with!

Like you say though - more Ԛ£Ã”šÃ‚£Ãƒ”šÃ‚£ !

!

If it's smaller diameter, then it gives less assistance. Nothing to do with thickness, unless it's a double tandem version like the iX one.
Assistance is proportional to the square of the diameter of the thing. Twice the diameter, four times the assistance.

I have fitted a mk1 golf gti servo.

I have fitted a mk1 golf gti servo.

Do you find your brake pedal a little on the heavy side?

To be honest, I don't really mind a heavy pedal, I'd just like a little more stopping power!
