Title: Water Pump direction
Post by: DRAGON on May 24, 2007, 01:05:39 PM
The FD water pump runs anti clockwise, however for a conversion im doing I want to run it clockwise.
Does anyone know if the RX8 Water Pump will fit the FD housing as I have noticed it runs clockwise.
Or do the T2s of 1st gens or cosmos run a clockwise pump?

FD is the odd one out, all the earlier cars drive the pump off the inside of the belt rather than the outside like the FD does

you should be able to make a TII housing fit an FD front plate quite easily and as mike says it turns Anti clock
