Something like that used in an air-to-water IC?

Do you know where to get a kit that replaces the water pump with a pulley only setup? Getting the actual electric water pump is no problem though. Or maybe have a stock pump modified, the impeller removed? I don't think you can eliminate the belt, since it also drives the cams off of the crank shaft.

Hey TypeR, with the mods that you have on your car, I've always wondered....

How's your tranny holding up?

I think the honda water pump is very effecient, plus it's driven by the timing belt. Not really any way to eliminate it.

There is a kit to replace the pump in the civics, haven't seen one for the v-6 though.
