Does any know what the stock Mazda 20B water pump flows in GPM. Also how much water pressure is required from the pump for proper cooling.I ask this because i was looking into the Electric Remote mount pump .It flows 42GPM. However it does not produce much pressure. The Dealer told me if you put a gauge on the end of the pump it would be 6lbs of pressure and when you open it up it of course drops significantly to very low pressure. Your thoughts anyone?


I'm using a remote electric pump.  Because I have one of my water radiators in my cowling, and the cowling is staying off for now as I get other issues sorted, and my "prop" isn't moving a reasonable amount of air anyway, I can't really tell you how it is working, other than to say that it is moving water around.  With a fan blowing into my one radiator, I get about 10min of running before the water temp redlines (which I have set to 200*F).
