Whats wrong, cant use the motor God gave ya to run your water pump?
I'd never thought about going that route, but it seems like a more cost effective way of getting the same results as a external pump.
Plus you can make up all kinds of stories to tell people who ask questions.

This is a Moroso kit for american muscle cars- cost- 90 bucks.
Cost for external electric pump, hoses, adaptors, etc- major bucks $$$$$.
The only benefit that the external electric pump has is saving a few pounds in weight as the cast iron waterpump and housing is pretty heavy.
The way that I went is definetly more cost effective in a big way.

You don't want to use this type of setup on the street. This is for drag racing use only. I forget the amp draw but the motor spins the water pump at 1500rpm's. Remember the slower the water passes through the radiator the more heat is pulled out. Also, don't give me credit for thinking about this as this has been used by drag racers for many many years.

Took my car to my local 8th mile track last night and I ran my best ever of 7.56 at 89mph with a 1.50 60ft. I carried the front wheels for a good distance. I beat 2 nova's and I was about 1/2 car length from beating a full tubbed mavrick with a big block. hehehe
Vids coming soon.

As you may know, a water pump at high rpm's can use as much as 20hp. Since that is my only powerband, it helps me out alot.

Good luck on your next runs and keep me posted.

Thanks, I just need to practice shifting faster. The car/motor has been really consistant and reliable, so I am very pleased with that. This motor has been running for almost 2 years now without skipping a beat. For all those who say rotary engines are not reliable go stuff it.
