Cooling system

[Tony90TSI]

Since i cant post the question anywhere else.

I am building my car now as a limited use track car and I am going to go with an electric water pump. Now i already know what all i need to buy to get it going but my question is would this motor benefit from "reverse cooling" the motor similar to how the LSX/LT1 motors do? The concept behind it is to keep the head as cool as possible so that the air charge going in doesnt heat up. Also in theory by keeping the head cooler reduce the chance of knock due to heat ignition of the fuel.

Has anyone ever tried this or thought about it?

Where did you find an electric water pump for 4G63 engines? I've seen them for everything else but a 4G63.

There are many non model specific electric water pumps which is what i was going to use.

Basically the set up would require a block off plate to the stock water pump location with a fittin put into it to feed the inlet. You run a line from the radiator to an Inline electric water pump then to the fitting in the block off plate. Then a return to the radiator from the top of the motor. I want to do it like that except put the pump on the top feed forcing the water first through the head cooling it off then to the block and out to the radiator. I can find some ebay ads for the pumps if you like. I forgot the name of the company that makes them.

a couple years back summit racing had them in their catalog but i am unsure if they still carry them. i'm not positive but i believe CSI was the company who made them. $400 price for them.
