Supercharged 20V Cooling

[Bazooka]

I was mocking up an SC12 supercharger on a 20V engine on the weekend when I came to the "what to do with the cooling system" question. This engine is being installed in RWD.
The standard 20V waterpump and pipe from the cylinder head cannot be retained due to the placement of the SC. What I theoried was using a 16V FWD rear water pump housing and running the water pipe towards the back of the engine as per factory. The top pipe from the cylinder head can be made to point to the front of the engine which would now feed the top of the radiator. The bottom radiator hose would then run around the back of the engine and join up with the standard 16V FWD water pipe off the back of the water pump. The remote thermostat can be inline of this. The top 20V water outlet at the rear of the head will need to be blocked and the standard 20V thermostat housing will also need to plated over and drilled for water fittings to run to the heater core. the sensors etc can also be installed in this plate. This would reverse the direction of the water flow and be pretty much like a 16V setup but does anyone see any real problems in doing this? The biggest problem is getting something to clear around the SC.

i looked into this a while back and found a great setup on google, it was a twin charged set up in rwd, and it showed in detail what he did with the cooling system. but yes he did run it to the back of the head like the 16v does

hmmm i cant find the diagram....
some where on the net is a good picture showing the path the water takes inside a 20v
basically the stock setup flows the coolest water round the head first, then through the block.
that keeps the head coolest. which i think is a good idea
will you have problems running it like you suggest? i dont know. but it will narrow any safety margins.

Thanks guys. It is not the case of whether the water flowing in the opposite direction is ok as I believe this has been done plenty of times before with no ill effect but more the case as to whether the path the water will flow through the engine, regardless of direction, will cause any problems. Something like hot spots is more what I am concerned about.

Mr. Revhead good to see your still alive and kicking! How's life away from Toyota (Marty has been good to me) been treating you?
