Hi Todd. What was the logic behind the choice to go with an electric water pump.
Was it concerns over cavitation at high rpm or as a backup.
Sorry if this has already been talked through.

Yup, just the stock wheel. the turbo is an Hitachi 18S-2S. I still think you should take LeRoux up on his offer of that turbo. You could either modify the turbo manifold or use it to model a custom made manifold. Either way would likely be easier than trying to fit an aftermarket turbo. There was not a stock Renesis turbo so you're not gonna find anything easier.
There's always something like this https://www.rx8performance.com/products/rx-8performanceturbokit and it doesn't look too complicated, or heavy, or expensive..... nahh, I'd still find a way to attach that old gen turbo to your Renesis. I'm using the Davies Craig EWP130 https://daviescraig.com/product/ewp130-12v-130lpm34gpm-remote-electric-water-pump-8180/ewp130-electric-water-pump-alloy-12v-8180

Todd,
Are you running the standard hot section turbine wheel? Do you have the hitachi RX7 turbo? Also what model water pump did you use??

Neil.
