Did you relocate the thermostat?

[turbo minivan]

^ there is no thermostat. the temp is controlled by a thermal switch and a 2000cfm slim fan

Properly function cooling system for a street car needs a thermostat. You want the coolant system get up to operation temperature asap.

Are you running a restrictor? Otherwise its not really a good idea. Controlling temperature is only one reason why you need a thermostat/restrictor. You need coolant pressure in the block to help stop boiling around hot spots.

You need to post the pictures here! I can't see any on the other forum...

So, where would one buy a pump like that?

[GLHNSLHT2]

been planning on doing this at some point for years. Be interesting to see how someone else did it. I've got my idea's and being able to custom machine aluminum is a plus. +1 on needing a Tstat.

Where did you study thermodynamics?

Post your results after 200k miles, im curious to see if it works as well as the stock system.

[GLHNSLHT2]

heads like to be cold, rings like to be warm. So you shove the cold coolant down through the top and out the bottom.

^yup!
my friend running 498hp did this years ago and has never had trouble not running a thermostat. it DOES heat up to running temps, its just controlled by the fan now instead of a thermostat. also, it seems to heat up in the same amount of time as it did with a thermostat on the old system.
