I've done some searching around, but cannot find an after market electric water pump for the VQ. I'm thinking that this wouldn't be a bad idea for us guys with FI with high hp as a goal. Should help to manage heat better than a stock pump, correct? Anyone know if there are any companies making electric water pumps for the Z?

They make really good electric pumps. They actually have a universal fit, that mounts directly to your lower radiator hose, and does not require the removal of your factory pump.

I'd just get a meizere and fab it to fit personally....if i were to go to that trouble.
Does the VQ pump have a tendency to cavitate? I know on the fwd SR20's it LOVED to cavitate.

I am going to order a few of them for testing. I dont want to formally start recommending them, until I know they work properly. I am skeptical by nature...but it does look promising.

I'll give the pump a try, and see how it performs.

They have them in stock and are shipping mine out today. I should have it Sat or Monday and will pass along any other information as soon as my build is done and the car is running and tuned for boost.

Also, they didnt have the thermostatic controller in stock for the 110. The pump cannot be used with thermo control, or else it will always be running up....even when your thermostat is close.
