Default PUTTING A RAD IN THE BOOT?

i have a ka with a 2.0 zetec engine fitted. im building a turbo block for the car. due to space its very hard to fit every thing, and hard to keep it cool! to get the turbo in it will foule the std rad, leaving me less space for a bigger rad!

if i can get rid of the rad it will leave me space for the oil cooler and charge cooler rad i have.


i was thinking about:

perspex back windows with the vents put in to them feeding air from these via duckeding in to a alloy box, in the alloy box fit a large alloy rad (like a pace rad for a cossie) with 2 large fans. and on the other side of the rad have vents out the boot or bottem of the car.

run pipes from the front to the bk, and use an electric water pump.



think it will work??? the turbo lump is a 2.1, eagel rods, forged pistons,l mega squirt ect ect so about 300bhp worth of heat.....


also any one pics of this?
