7m electric water pump.

[stevenr816]

I did some searching and only found some JZ pumps.
Anyone know if they make them?

I'm pretty sure IJ had one just hooked up to the bottom rad hose but I think it was just to help out the system, not replace the existing mechanical pump.

domestic v8 cars run them, but there would be no bolt on solution for the MKIII. You would likely have to machine/weld the back timing cover to adapt one, or figure out some sort of blocking plate for the stock water pump.

 

[stevenr816]

i can make the plate i just need to find a pump/wheel

Ran mine as a booster but they can run as a standalone pump.

I am also interested in this. Would it be worth it? Like is there that much of a power loss from the belt drive? What are the benefits of eliminating the belt drivin pump?

Doesnt take much to spin a water pump. maybe .1 hp loss.

But if this is for a street car it should not even be considered as there for race cars only and there not a reliable option for a street car. If it fails and your stuck in traffic your going to over heat super quick.

You could prolly machine a adapter plate and just use some other electric water pump. Or use a external one liek what ij posted.

Don't think I'd trust an Electric as the only pump, that's why I ran mine in series so it could move water at idle and cover the cavitation at high rpm.

Its for my drag car, only time it would see the streets is on weekend drives/or meets. its not for performance but to be able to circulate coolant on cool downs and then ill only have to run an alternator belt.

That I believe was for the 2jz.

Steve, as I told you on the phone. There are a few in line water pumps, but you can also use a small 12v electric motor to turn your oem pump with a small belt.

Could make a custom pulley and use one belt.

 

[suprarich]

usually a cog type pulley is used with the electric motor with a thin short cog belt.

 

[hvyman]

I was meaning instead of using a electric.

In this thread, someone asked about power-gains from switching from a belt-driven to an electric fan:

Like stated, the power from the fans comes from the alternator, which gets it's power from...?

Moon beams and Pixie dust of course

Remember? 'Cause you posted in that thread.
