Bill,
My installation does not have enough room to use the stock RX7 pump. I have
a Toyota Corolla pump that can with some modification be mounted on one side
of the motor. I had to get a Denso alternator to get an alternator to fit
along side the motor. I found a block that permits connectionof hoses to
where the pump used to be. The reason that I am asking all of these somewhat
strange inqueries is just to get a working scenario. My firewall is 22"
wide and this is a pusher so things get worse as you go aft. Another item
that takes a lotof room is the exhaust augmenter. The engine is also a P
Port. I do not believe I can get the cooling right without some additional
means. The shape of the cowls on a canard pusher is critical to effiency so
i am trying to stay tight.
I saw a video on a RX7 discussion group that used the Stewart EWP using the
similar block connection. Don't know if it would work in an AC.

What are you trying to do Joe? Does your engine not have a water pump or
are you trying to accomplish something better? Someone on the list has an
electric water pump hooked up.

Thanks for the info on the coolant flow. Currently the Mazda pump pulls
coolant from the rad and pushes it into the driver's side water passage
per
the info that you stated. The coolant comes out of the block on the
passengers' side and goes to the radiator.
Would it be possible to place a stand alone pump inlet at the outlet of
the
block on the passengers's side and push the water through the radiator
then
back into the block inlet on the driver's side? The down side would be
that
the pump would see the hotest coolant. Are there other issues? Thanks
for
any help.
