Removing radiator to the rear

[bluequattro]

I started with mine in boot, then put it back in the front!
Grind the vanes off the engine pump as I seem to remember the electric ones pumped opposite direction
Keep the pump going after engine off otherwise heat soak from engine will pressurise header tank ( like mine did)
I needed boot space too so no big deal, plus it holds water now and keeps cool enough with 2 fans

depends which way you install the pump, it will pump which ever wy you want it to

I turned my water pump in a lathe to make a neater job of removing the impellers, i then removed the thermostat. You need to keep the outer ring as this is the sealing face. Then the pipe work travels basically reverse of the OEM system.

Some people i spoke to kept the water pump impellers so hey ho on that one?

My Ecu controls the fans so there is no problem there, i have a speed controler unit for the water pump this is a dial knob with a box of tricks. I would like to have it mapped into the ECU i will have to see what Master Repo can come up with?

Wab i did not see any water plumbing in your car at ADI?

Then you need to think up how your going to cool your rad

pipes run underneath the car, not plumbed up at the front yet, im still making my airbox to sit infront of the rad, basicly same design as yours but mine is abs plastic, i had taken the rad out before ADI, where are you taking your air feed from? side windows are prob easiest as you can get the clear naca ducts for poly carb windows, my side vents where quite easy to do, only time will tell how effective they are
