    upgrade water pump

    as said: you can't fix a radiator capcity problem by upping the flowrate of the coolant being pumped through it. chances are it will get even hotter as the water than will come out of the rad warmer than it is now at lower flowrate. fit the largest capicity rad you can find in the space...
