re rear radiator rear placement: Actually there HUGE theoretical,practical and actual advantages in air flow , cooling and ample research to document it EG we did this on motorcycles w/ oil coolers for the same reason mounting a small Lockhart style oil cooler in the rear beside the rear wheel in a low pressure area using it as an auxiliary water radiator and realised a 20 F degree decrease in water temperature ! the brilliant late NZ engineer John Britten had rear mounted radiators on his V1000 cycles too more than 25 + years ago . The std front radiator placement suffers greatly from restricted airflow at most speeds showing optimum cooling air flow only in a very restricted narrow speed range. The aerodynamic science is there w/ research to back it up. So why do you disbelieve and disagree? Many race vehicles that do not have to cave to the convention and conform have radiators mounted other locations than the front for packaging and performance enhancement.

This paper presents the implementation of DFSS method to design a distinctive cooling system where the engine is mounted in the rear and radiator is mounted in the front of the car. In automobile design, a rear-engine design layout places the engine at the rear of the vehicle. ...This paper is about designing a distinctive cooling system of a car having rear mounted engine and front mounted radiator. This kind of arrangement requires lengthy coolant lines extended between the radiator and the engine throughout the length of the car, routed beneath the car. ...The external bypass close to coolant pump offers a much lower resistance flow path as compared to the long radiator cooling lines increasing the risk of less coolant flows through the radiator

The airflow management issues become even more severe in case the underhood environment is located at the rear end of the vehicle, away from the ram air zone available in front of the vehicle, as is the case in the present study. ...In the present study, engine cooling performance is studied by evaluating radiator heat dissipation and Top Hose Temperatures (THT) using 1D (KULI) and 3D (FLUENT, RADTHERM) simulation codes. ...These design changes resulted in improved heat dissipation performance of the radiator and better airflow and thermal management of the underhood. Simulation results at steady state operating conditions are compared with vehicle test results and a good agreement observed.

Furthermore, in the conventional rear cooling system, in front of the radiator, there is engine and exhaust system, which heats up the air going to the radiator and reduces radiator cooling performance. ...The air flow, ROA of Coolant and ROA of Oil are measured for two conditions, i.e. radiator facing towards rear bumper and radiator facing towards powertrain. It is observed that the effect of the rear vortex has a negligible impact on the airflow provided by the fan, for vehicle speed less than 65kmph. ...The packaging of the cooling system is finalized such that the radiator faces towards the rear of the vehicle bumper which is opposite to the conventional rear cooling system (i.e. radiator faces towards the front of the vehicle).

ABSTRACT EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS for the increase of the radiator cooling air has been performed with special attention to the utilization of air pressure in high-speed running conditions. ...Measurements of pressure distributions at the radiator cooling air intake showed that the prevention of the occurrence of separations around the bumper is the efficient method to increase the cooling air. ...Furthermore, the optimum configuration for the radiator cooling air discharge has also been experimentally studied using a simplified model which simulates the under part of the engine compartment.
