I looked around for systems like this, and it didn't look like it would be quite that much.

That is considerably more elaborate than the systems I was looking at. A more reasonable conversion seems like it would just require modifying the water pump housing to be just a flow-through and put an inline pump on one of the radiator hoses with a controller.

I think elaborate means in this case not so expensive, ($1,500)

lol, it's an electrical water pump, VERY important to work and not fail, why not get it from the same people that have been making them for so long with good success? IMO, if one is going to do it, do it right the first time.

I would expect that most of that $1500 is tied up in the radiator and fan. I wouldn't have any real need to replace the OEM radiator and / or fans... I would just want the pump.

Well this is electricla water pump is for drag racing probably there is another for street use and good quality.

why do you buy carbon rotors instead of SS??? they are good it is important do have a good brake response......
