Any successful radiator in engine compartment conversions?, Or other than front trunk installs? Options

I know this had been tried 7+ years ago, I was wondering if since then has anyone done a watercooled conversion and not put the radiator in the front trunk?

My NA 2.5 subaru leaves a bunch of room in the trunk as stated. I also don't have any cutouts in front for air flow. It is just the stock holes without the rubber plugs in them. My car has zero cooling problems with it up front. It does exit through cutouts in the wheels wells. It also pretty much wipes out my whole front trunk. If we could get a solution to get headlights in the turn signal buckets. I think the dual radiator boxster setup using the front light buckets would be killer. I think with a flared car you could do those in the engine bay on each side with some inlets. I haven't seen to many inlets on the side of a 914 that I have really liked.

I think if you could have a short but wide radiator. Say 10" by 40"+ it is possible. If you could mount it low in front of a NA 2.5 suby. I think it could work. Only because I know how little it takes to cool mine. It would take some inlets in the rocker at the least. Then some pretty powerful fans to help pull it through. I think low instead of high for working on the motor. If it's up high with a GT lid it will definitely interfere with getting to the motor for basic maintenance. I would love to see it done (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) . I don't see it being me that does it though (IMG:style_emoticons/default/evilgrin.gif)
