Has anyone a list of firms who make these water pump adapter flanges when switching to a electric pump?
I know:
- Pro Jay ($80 or $100 with temp sensor port)
- meziere ($111)
- some uk company, but they don't offer them with threads
- xtreme rotaries made a real nice flange, unfortunately they are out of business
I'm sure there should be more options available...

the design engineers worked to control at the best temperatures for emissions and power, removing a thermostat would cause you to run colder than optimal performance; maybe unless you were doing some special high performance racing.
Then Oil coolers would be better, I hear.

I rocked one from these guys instead of Himni (whom I've heard isn't reliable):

It has a single top nipple that goes to your overflow bottle.

To add some anecdotal data to this super helpful thread, I've taken my car on track recently.
Car: '94 RX7 Type R (JDM with twin oil coolers), 47k km (29k miles)
Temp monitoring: SPA digital gauge with sensor in throttle body hose and peak recall function.
Mods: 3" cat back exhaust
Cooling system: stock, 1.1 bar (16 psi) cap. A radiator upgrade is being planned.
Ambient temperature of the day: 5 to 15 c (41 to 59 f)
Average coolant temp: 90 to 95 c (194 to 203 f)
Peak coolant temp: 101c (214 f)

Always Bad Advice
As the owner of three BMWs with electric water pumps, One was replaced at 76k miles, another at 53k miles and the third I just replaced at 35k miles. Go over to the BMW forum and you won't find anyone singing the praises of electric water pumps.
