At least a year ago someone posted they had found a belt drive water pump
from some import auto, I think a picture was also posted. Any information
on the make, model, would be helpful, any follow
up information as well.

I think that was Don Dunbar and it was a Toyota 1.6 liter engine pump.
If you want something with more than enough capacity look into
the KSE pump with a link on our web site below. the Mopar
pump cartridge would be nice with a custom NC scroll.

G'day,
    Do you Guys know about the Craig-Davis plastic electric pump from
downunder?. Weighs a few ounces but I forget it's capacity,- will check it
out if anyone is interested.
       Cheers,

For the umpteenth zillion time it takes HP to pump water.
In the case of the Mazda pump it is about 3 HP.
With a 12 volt electrical system that is 746 watts times 3 divided
by 12 volts or 746 amps! This is not my opinion. It is a law of physics.

We have tested a puny electric pump and it does not come close
to the required capacity to cool a rotary at a continuos 150 HP.
Those people claiming other wise are flying in the arctic. 
In drag racing an engine never gets time to overheat.
If you want to melt your engine go right ahead.
