Joe, 

I installed a Renesis WP on my 20B.  It is much lighter than the 20B pump and is more compact.  If you use a custom inlet/outlet, you could run the lines very close to the engine.  Mine are inside the c/l of the slide throttle.  

A point of clarification... The Renesis WP is part of the Renesis front cover.  Using a band saw, I separated the WP housing from the front cover.  So, I used the 20B front cover with the Renesis WP.

Someone on the list is using an EWP.  I don't remember who at the moment.
Maybe he will chime in later.

Bill,

My installation does not have enough room to use the stock RX7 pump.  I have
a Toyota Corolla pump that can with some modification be mounted on one side
of the motor.  I had to get a Denso alternator to get an alternator to fit
along side the motor.  I found a block that permits connectionof hoses to
where the pump used to be. The reason that I am asking all of these somewhat
strange inqueries is just to get a working scenario.  My firewall is 22"
wide and this is a pusher so things get worse as you go aft.  Another item
that takes a lotof room is the exhaust augmenter.  The engine is also a P
Port. I do not believe I can get the cooling right without some additional
means.  The shape of the cowls on a canard pusher is critical to effiency so
i am trying to stay tight.

I saw a video on a RX7 discussion group that used the Stewart EWP using the
similar block connection.  Don't know if it would work in an AC.
