Throttle is your friend. If you don't have the power to break the rear tires, letting off during a drift could mean the end of the drift as the tires wil recatch and and you'll end up gripping again. Find out how long you can let off or lighten the throttle during your drift.
Now just punching it and seeing what happens isn't the best way to go either. You will play with the throttle to control the rear end. With less power, you just don't have as much room/time to play. The throttle is really a balancing act along with the steering inputs. They go hand in hand and do require moduation to adjust/maintain control.
Now you mention problems keeping the rear end out. You may not be focusing quite on the correct area. Look to the front of the car for the answer, the steering. Drifting and counter steering are light bread and butter. But, with an underpowered car, you need to realize you don't need to countersteer so much. Since the rear end isn't so easy to keep loose, you'll actually assist it with the front end by countersteering a little less. You should actually find the ability to keep the rear end out longer or even the ability to break the rear end loose while gripping just with a little more steer in. If you're gunning it and find the rear wanting to regrip, steer towards the corner a touch more.
For a pesky rear end that wants to keep on sticking, you'll have to be a little rough on it. Since you don't quite have the engine power to break traction, use other ways to do it. Try to pump the throttle abruptly on and off. Be deliberatly rough with it, think on/off switch for the gas pedal. It's either up or down. This can provide the forces needed to upset the rear end and break it loose, even keep it loose mid drift if you find it wanting to restick. An added bonus with this technique is that when the throttle is off for the brief period of time, you're actually shifting a little weight forward for more front traction and less rear traction. Along with the abrupt nature and the weight shift, it can get things moving sideways or keep them there.
So what about entering the corner? Well, you seem to be doing braking drifts into the corner. That's a good technique and should work quite well for you. If you don't want to do that technique, say if you're already at the corner speed and down want to slow down further, there are other things you can do. Something a little more subtle and along the same idea of upsetting the rear tires is how you shift into the corner. Start in one gear higher than the cornering gear. With the throttle off coming into the corner, as you start to steer into the corner, shift down to the lower gear without touching the gas. The abrupt engine braking from idle up to the matching rpm for the gear can get the rear end to break traction. A final technique is feint. This is the side to side tossing of the car. You essentially forcefully rotate the car trying to spin it. This is also a good technique if you are already going the correct speed for the corner. It requires no throttle or break input to do, just steering. To do it, just steer away from the corner and quickly towards. It's a goofy technique to learn as it feels quite weird to do. However, it is very useful and does wonders combining with other techniques like braking. It does require strong front grip though and a stiff enough suspension to shift the weight quickly from side to side.
I did mention about combining techniques. The beauty of drifting is that it can be quite fluid and many techniques can all be combined together or at different times to achieve a desired result. When you start combining these techniques together, you can really start making the car do some interesting things.
