what about switching the pump off on cold running? This would stop any cooling effect unit the warms up. Could even be run from a out put ok the v4 mega jolt which has a temp sensor.

The more turbulence, the more heat transfer.
Having a true water-air intercooler would be the best, I mean with tiny tubes and water all around.

However I don't think it's a good idea to use a separate coolant circuit. As the manifold is heated by the head you'll get two cooling systems fighting against each other.

I've no idea how much heat transfer there will be between the inlet gasses and the manifold Walls but there must be a fair bit or your exhaust would not get hot to touch. I think I'll use aomthing like a bike rad and electric pump to cool it. Cheers

Don't get what you mean by work against each other? won't if the manifold is cooler than the head help in cooling the engine as well?
