Perhaps its time for a new front cover. The best place for the water rad is
turning out to be on the spark plug side of the engine.  Unfortunately that
complicates the pluming somewhat because the water pump inlet and outlet are
on the other side of the engine.  Perhaps we should take a page out of the
RX8 design and make a new front cover incorporating the water pump housing
with the water coming out and going in on the other side of the engine.
Another problem is the pump should be mounted as low as possible so any drop
in water level will not cause the pump to cavitate.  We built some remote
pumps a few years ago that used the stock Mazda pump cartridge.  One other
point is the pump would be more eff.  if the water came stright into the
impeller.  Here are some shots of that remote pump.  I am looking for feed
back here.  Does anybody else have an ideas they would like to see
incorporated.

Paul,


   A new housing incorporating some of the accesories would be welcome.  I
originally wanted to locate my pump lower than the engine toward the plug
side as the
exhaust side has the pipes and muffler to the augmentor.  I was going to
use
the Toyota pump.  I also would like to get a later front housing so I can
use a trigger wheel.  This also permits mounting the alternator on the
plug
side.
