I read in a mag (import tuner) they had a 20b build up
with over 1000hp, they were using an electric water pump
to reduce the strain on the engine, giving you more power,
all you have to do is get an electric fan as well and plug and play.
I tryed finding this electric water pump , and no luck,
would it be possible to just atach a 12volt motor to the pump
and make some slight mod's,??????
any idea's?
P.S. im talkin about the 2nd gen.....

Why should you relocate the alternator, there seem's to be
plenty of space as is...it's a small motor the size of a fuel filter.
shouldn't be that complecated.

Yeah and if I had a 1000 HP 20B, I'd be worried about the 1 HP it costs to run the water pump... 
Sometimes people doing 20Bs like to use the electric ones because I heard that the stock 20B one isn't that great... so your next pick is a 13B REW one... but even better is a very high capacity electric.

the reason to use the electric is if you choose to not run the FD accessories, its pretty much impossible to find a replacement 20b waterpump even if you decide that it is high enough capacity. If you set up your car to use the 20b pump and it goes up you either have to get a used one or risk remounting alot of stuff in the front of the engine to fit the FD pump. Electric water pump seems to be a good alternative for all that messiness.
