Paul - Has anyone calibrated the Mazda cooling jacket system for
effective ACd , and likewise for the radiator one would use. It
appears that we are just guessing on the flowrate vesus delta P
requirements - Vance

Would not matter anyway. 15 gal a minute won't cool a rotary.
The up side to this pump is it has the potential to improve
the gene pool. Aviation is a self cleaning oven :)


Not yet. I could rig that 5 HP motor over the engine and drive the pump
that way. I have the dyno engine rigged with pressure gages and the flow
meter. I just don't have it running yet.

That was how I ran all my tests, powering the pump on the engine, pumping
through the block,

I will not be doing it exactly the same way you did Bill. I have the dyno engine
completely plumbed in a closed loop system with radiator. It is instrumented with about 
four pressure gages and a flow meter. The pressure gages will measure the pressure
out of the pump, out of the block, after the flow meter into the rad
and out of the rad into the pump. Here are some pictures of the partially completed
system.
