So, the question becomes, what approach cools the metal engine
parts best, high or low flow? Methinks high works best.

Hi
Mark,
I haven't heard a single
person disagree with this. The real question is how much flow do we
need?
Clearly, a single Davies
Craig pump will cool a turbo 13B, or a race engine, so hyper-flow isn't
"needed" for cooling. Perhaps in time this will negatively affect
the housings, but only time (lots of it) will
tell.
FWIW, running the stock
system isn't a guarantee that you'll never have these problems either, because
we aren't running the engine the way Mazda intended. Heck, for all
we know, Mazda had to move the liquid fast enough to keep plain water from
boiling, since they know that some people will put that in the engine.
Remember how they decided to use sump oil for the apex seals? Purely a
concession to marketing, and not in the engine's best interest.
EWP's aren't for
everyone, at least until the rest of the automaker get on board with it
:-) They solve installation problems for some folks, provide a
proven backup system, and have some other (apparently) debatable
advantages. Still a free country.
Cheers,
Rusty (Dave, can you
prescribe something for Leon's headache)
