No, the 20B pump and alternator both turn the same direction as the 13B.  I
measured the stock 20B pulleys today.  The eccentric pulley is 13.5cm, the wp
pulley is 9.5cm.  So, it appears that Mazda saw a need to fit the 20B with a
larger diameter water pump, and spin it faster than the 13B.  Maybe to get 1.5
times more flow?  Sounds logical.

So, the question is, will the 3-rotor running wot for hour after hour cool
adequately with the slower turning 13B pump?  I guess we'll have to wait and
see. Anyone know which wp and pulley sizes Tom Parks is running on his turbo
3-rotor?
