Has anyone ever mounted the rad in the rear or know of a rear mounted rad car?? Im trying to gauge the size of vent required to feed a rad. Ive also thought about lying the rad flat and venting out the boot floor. But just getting the air to the rad might be hard.

Mounting on the boot floor, with a venturi sucking the hot air out towards the rear of the car could be interesting. Though you would still need a fan at low car speeds. Then again, drifting sideways would mean the venturi (diffuser) would not be at the correct angle, humm.

As a circuit car will it work. Also there will be a need for a clio v6 esc vents to help direct the air

Looked into doing this with my mini turbo and venting out the boot lid, I was going to run a electric water pump. There's a few of them on the mini forums
