Ive come to find out that new ideas on internet forums do not usually command a warm welcome. But once someone trys something diffrent and it works well all a sudden they are treated like a god in the local community about the subject.
I suggest you experament with your idea as much as you feel comfortable, you may find you hit the nail right on the head, it may need some tweaking, or it may not work at all, if it doent work just dont post that you ever did it in the first place. if it does post a wright up with nice pics. you may find your name applied to it to desinate what people are talking about years later. "the Arnout cooling mod"
This has happened with early 7m supra mods, i forgot the name used but people discovered putting washers in the waste gate mount bolts on the supra makes a little more boost, and for many years it was called "the 'someones name' mod" i forgot the name tho. but before it was done a lot of people where negitive about possable side effects, citeing that toyotas design, for quite a wile after it was the cheap power mod that almost everyone did.
So i say, its your money, your ideas, your project, your pain or plesure, go have fun and invent.
Im working on a front water bridge elminating cooling system mod, but my reasons are you make room for a very low profile front faceing intake, when i have something to share on this topic ill make my own thread about it.
Im now off to watch the first ever F1 night race. another thing people said wouldnt work.
