so explain??   i know it can be done either or but getting the system to bleed has always been much easier in what most/I call the correct way. i do now from what i have read that the cap is preffered to be on the outlet side for safety.
Water can flow top to bottom or bottom to top,makes no difference in cooling. My new car is set up to flow from bottom to top to simplify routing. C&R confirmed it makes no difference before I had radiator made.

The radiator cap should be on the low pressure side of the radiator to prevent high pressure coolant overpowering the cap causing a loss of coolant at high rpm if located on the high pressure side of the radiator. Low pressure side of radiator is the side after water leaves the engine and is headed back to radiator.  Most people don't know there is a high pressure side and a low pressure side.

 Unless I'm totally misunderstanding what is in question and what is being described,the only thing needing relocated is the filler neck.

 the problem was. that the pump would not pick up the water. with the radiator layed back. it would not flood the suction line to the pump. in high sight, it sounds like I my have been able to just drop the return line down on the radiator. but now all the cutting and fab is done. so on with it. thanks for all the info. Fab And DSrace. you to punker67

what is the amp draw on each of those fans?
Good question ???  I need to put a amp clamp on them and see. the fans on the radiator have no spec's on them.  china made, I'm sure. as for the intercooler. I need to look at it. I live by the golden rule.. It will be fine. Ha ha ha ha . At this time I have two fans per relay. this my need to be changed. but will be easily done.  the big thing is, I need to delay, one set on. with all four coming on at one time. it will drop the rpm's down 200rpms.

Hopefully a good tune will cure the disappointment.

With a lighter car like yours and a good tune that thing will be a rocket. My 2.0 was quick in my heavy car. It just did not have the torque i wanted for how big my car was
