water pump
Mark,
I spoke with Racemate a couple of years back about
machining a better impeller for the renesis. He needed the water pump housing
for proper clearances. He looked at the renesis impeller and thought it was
junk.

Kelly,
Keep in mind that I'm comparing it to a 20B water pump, not a 13B water
pump. The 20B pump (housing & cartridge, no pulley) weighs 11.8 lbs.
The Renesis pump & housing after being cut off the front cover is
4.5 lbs. So, I potentially can save over 7 lbs. The big question
is if the Renesis WP flow is enough water to cool the 20B.
At present, I'm still gathering parts for the conversion, so I'm
currently running the stock 20B pump.
Any idea what the Meziere pump weighs? You'll need to add the
weight of brackets too. The Renesis pump will fit onto the front cover
same as the stock pump... well, with a few minor mods.
