can i do that

No...would not improve anything or work correctly without a mod to mount it correctly....waste of time and money imho

the water pump draws off the bottom of the radiators

the point on trapping air is correct

post up a pix of the plumbing at your pump cuz lessin i got hit in the head real hard im callin BS

look at the fiche the lower hoses run to the water pump then from the pump to the back of the cylinder
the return is the head to the top of the radiators
all engines pull from the bottom including cars

Take a very close look at your water pump. It works like a centrifuge. The hose connected so that it supplies water to the middle of the pump is the "from" hose, the hose connected to the side is the "to" hose. As the impeller spins, the mass of the fluid drives it out from the center propelling it out from the 'from' hose and into the 'to' hose.

If you want to see a picture of a pump set up to pump water from the bottom of the cylinder, look at my first picture in the thread "Another WRX saved from the scrap heap". Also, if you really want to reverse the flow of water in your bike, just hook up your hoses like you see in that picture.

ok i looked my hoses are reversed from that pix the impeller spins counter clockwise right ? that would have mine suckin water in from the back of the jug dang i dont have all here in front for me here to look at but that OE hose that go's from the jug to the pump is sure shaped to go to the nipple that is to the inside and forward

screw it i gotta go to bed big road trip tomorrow going to St.L to watch the fast guys get it do wooohooo
