no room for a radiator
i've come across a small problem!! i have no room for a radiator!! 
i've fitted a T3 and due to not wanting lag i posted the charge pipe strait thro were the radiator should be, there were other reasons why i installed it this way, but thts the way it is!!
i now have a space that i cant even cram a 40x36cm radiator in.
what do i do now, can i install one in the boot or do i need a pump in the lines as the quantity and distance the water will be travelling?

Re: no room for a radiator
"Boot" the correct term for the back of a car where u usually stick your shopping or a sub, neither in my case!
i've just got a rad out of a 95 civic which is half the size so we're going to make some new mounts and cut the underneath of the bonnet to get her in.
do you reckon this will provide enough cooling? being half the size but twice the potential heat?
also do rads have to be fixxed on flexi rubber mounts or can u just bolt them down?

Re: no room for a radiator
the half rad should be fine for cooling if you want extra security pick up a slim fan since they usually are more powerfull than the stock fan and are better for cooling...I'd also mount the rad on some rubber mounts if its to stiff you cold possibly crack
