I know this had been tried 7+ years ago, I was wondering if since then has anyone done a watercooled conversion and not put the radiator in the front trunk?

I think it has all to do with the size of the motor and the ducting. I would almost guarantee you a 1.8-2.5L could easily survive a small radiator in the engine compartment if there was a proper amount of both ducting with ram air and cowl induction.
