Water Pumps

I was wondering if you guys know anything about high performance water pumps or if thats something that you just can't get for a RX-7.

What is the stock system not doing for you? Why do you desire a "high performance" water pump? We need more information to give you an intelligent response

Meziere makes an electric water pump for our cars for
about $249.95. This should free up a couple of HP from the loss of the parasitic drag that a belt driven water pump produces.

just type 'Meziere' in your favorite search engine.

There was a detailed explanation on the Water Pump fairly recently. https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ght=WATER+PUMP Search function yields additional Info.

Most electric pumps can't keep up with the type of heat that our cars generate, so just get a stock one. Is the waterpump located just below the alernator on the same belt?
