Mazmart Waterpump???
 

does any body have any experience with the pump? is it really worth it?
is the car staying cool on certain temp? can anybody explain or pay attention when it's on the car, for example: it keeps the car certain temp, colder much faster, or etc.
thank you for the advice

yes and yes and yes,,,, just have to look at the dinky ass oe water pump blade and wonder WTF? does this even work when you have the REmedy right next to it

interesting, i have to look into it, is the blade bigger and wider?

i have heard nothing but good things about the mazmart waterpump and I am planning it as an N/A upgrade this summer.

the impeller is shortened in a sense. look at them side by side.

it is designed to prevent cavitation above ~7,000rpms where the pump is no longer *effectively* pumping the coolant.. instead it is just churning it.. think of sticking a fan abruptly into a glass of water. since the pump is belt operated and with the high revving of the motor the water pump will ultimately spin so quick that the coolant is just going to churn.. that is why any sort of prolonged operation at high rpms brings temps up quick.

left photo. efficient pump.

right photo. blender!

;)

you decide.

ah yes.. "blender". perfect way to describe it.

I use the Mazmart pump. I am thankful to Mazmart for making this pump. It doesn't keep the car cooler but it will cool it down quicker if it gets hot.
This is my experience with it. A definite improvement in cooling capability. And I think I have the hottest running RX8 in the country.

your car it HOT! :)

but what you say is the truth!!!! now if we could just fix that pesky thermostat issue...

i like how mazda followed suit in the design of the newer water pumps :)

that alone should say something about the quality of the REmedy pump, it was good enough that the new OE pump looks just like it!

I showed Mazmart's waterpump to the Mazda Engineers that came to check my car for overheating.
Maybe that's where they got the idea from.

Maybe, but the guy that did a lot of work designing the pump is a man that Mazda is VERY familiar with when it comes to rotary advancement and technology. A real icon of this car community.

Yes
Yes
YES The car cools down Much quicker with this pump. I've had it on since last summer and I can't say enough about this thing.

Now if you could apply twisted vane blade technology to Paul's impeller, then it would be even more efficient.

thank you guys for the advice, and it will be my next mod

Thermostat
 

It's been such a pleasure to provide this item. For years, Mr Engman's talents have not been able to be tapped to supply products for the 'people'. Finding something that we could develop that would truly be helpful was my task. I saw Rick's dis-content at discovering the stock pump characteristics and I saw him modifying them for some important people who race. After substituting impellers from other pumps was getting tough, I asked "Can't we make our own?". The rest is history including chatting with the excellent consultant that I use regularly on such matters regarding materials and sourcing the best factory for the machining process.

Now, we've been talking for years about how helpful the right thermostat would be (Delaying the onset of temperature escalation amongst other things). We may be MUCH closer now. I feel like a stuck record saying that but I truly think we may be able to have product available in time for this summer.

Paul.

does this void the rotary core warranty?

the pump begins it's life as a Mazda part so from the outside they will NEVER know. The only way they'll notice it's different is if they take the water pump off. (which they would never do under routine maintenance / inspections)

if your engine ever goes out, just swap the OEM unit back in.

From my understanding the rebuilds received and updated pump. Does anyone have a picture of that or know how it compares?

no but if you give me a few weeks I can probably get you that pic. A buddy of mine is most likely having a Reman engine ordered for him this week.
Once he gets it back, I can take a peak at the pump

bump a year to the date.. almost =x

Thanks, I want the Mazmart pump even though I have newly rebuilt engine but right when I was about to order I saw another post listing the new stuff in a rebuild (plastic propeller supposedly) and if it is a better pump I'm not sure i will need the Mazmart.

then just take yours off and look.
problem solved.
;)

yeah, I could. Is the gasket resealable?
