  Subject: Water pump for Mazda RX7

  Dear Sir,

  Where can we buy your water pumps for the RX7
  in the united states.

  Thank you,

  Paul Lamar

Paul,

I tried Mears Motors and was told that they are not a distributor for GMB.

I have confirmed that Summit Racing is a distributor for GMB.  I placed an
order for myself for (2) of the gmb 145-1180.  They confirmed that they are
alum. and the price was $34.39 ea plus freight.

As this was not an item in Summit's computer system, they in turn contacted
GMB,
who shows them due into their stock in 4-6 weeks.

Gordon at Summit advised me that they have updated their computer system to
include this item.  Their phone number is 1-800-230-3030.

I found the water pump housing in one of the attachments from Steve Beckham
intriguing, but haven't yet had any luck in locating it.  If Steve could
enlighten us with the year and part number it would be appreciated.

I think you are talking about the home made housing part. Steve made
it look professional by grinding and polishing the welds.

Here is another way of doing it. The whole idea is to get rid
of the unneeded thermostat housing, make the pump low profile
and remove the water flow restriction on the outlet side of the block.

Here is another one I did for Bulent's Cosmo engine.
Don't get any ideas. I don't do these anymore. No time for it.
It is only worth doing if you have a clearance problem under
the cowl. The RX8 engine solves the problem as the water
comes out on the side of the front cover.
