Interesting site in the link!!!
How about watercooled IC.
Any hints about this?
I think i will seperate the waterkooling inbetween the head and block/bottom.
Adding an extra pump just for the head itself.
Do you guys think its nessesary to have 2 seperate rads in this setup.?

ok, correct me if im wrong, but you want 2 independant cooling systems on one engine? like the block have one cooling system, own pump, radiator, everything..
and the head have its own cooling system also?
why would you need to do such a thing? whats wrong with how the cooling system is set up now? it works fine, and takes up 1/4 the room of what it would take to make the engine have 2 independant cooling systems..
you would also have to come up with ports on the block to get the water in, and out. and a head gasket with no coolant passages in it..
as well as a second coolant pump, space for 2 radiators, 2 sets of lines, 2 of everything..
what system would you run the heater off of? the head, or block?
cool idea, i really DO LIKE IT.. but i think its a bit overkill for such a small engine in such a small car..
A2W intercooler is one thing, they arent bad at all. usually easier to fit in confined spaces than A2A intercoolers.. they have a small, thin heat exchanger to mount in front of the rad, and a coolant pump/reservoir to mount somewhere else.. you can even mount the pump and res inside the cabin to keep it that much cooler.
