Thanks Jarrett,
    Now I can't wait to machine them up! I will load test one, and them
    destructively fail test it to see what it's ultimate strength is. If
all
    look good, we will build production tooling.
    Next casting will be an aluminum water pump housing that is lower
    profile,
    and will mount dual 55 amp alternators. The entire set up will
    provide the
    security of dual alternators and weigh less than the stock cast iron
    part.

    Move it down low Larry as that is one of the problems with the stock
    pump. When the water gets low in the block it starts to cavitate and it
    destroys
    the pump housing. Kind of dumb for Mazda to put it up so high. Probably
    an out growth of the old engine driven rad fan.

    The RX8 and 3rd gen pump are much lighter than the old cast
    iron cartridge version.

    We built some remote pumps for the second gen pump cartridge. Did
    not sell
    all that well. People won't spend money unless they are forced :)

    Depending on if it fits the 3rd gen, and uses it's pump cartridge, I
    will
    order it.......several versions will have to be made (I also have a
    20B)
    Take a look at the Meziere electric water pump layout necking
    http://www.meziere.com/index.php?pgName=wp90 . And if you really
    want to get
    fancy, check out the combined back up alternator on the pump sold by
    Racemate.... http://www.racemate.com/

Will the pump support a 4-rotor?


Thanks,

Matt-


Yes... the pump will support 500+ hp, and we just turn it slower for 2 rotor
engines.
