In other words, if you decide to install an electric water pump, you are on your own. There is no community knowledge-base for this.
because the stock water pump is ugly and in the way.

Op didn't google. http://www.daviescraig.com.au/Electr...s-content.aspx remote water pump, took less then one minute.

I run it on a toggle switch. I keep it off at initial start up, and then cycle it on and off till the water warms up.
The pump has two outlets. The one on the bottom goes to the bottom radiator fitting. The one on top goes to the heater.
I am redoing all the plumbing when I get the motor back in. There were a few design flaws that I need to fix. I plan to have water enter both the front and rear of the head.

The top is 8 or 10....can't remember. The bottom one you see is a 12. You could simply have a barb on the pump and put on a radiator hose instead. I wanted a baller look and chose the braided line.
Since it is not very visable, the bottom is a simple 90 degree radiator hose. I chose the pump location for easy simple installation and to have the shortest run possble for plumbing. Turbo cars may need to have the pump on the other side of the motor. I have seen this on a big turbo Miata before.
If you look closely, you will see that the old mechanical pump is still there. I simply pressed out out the impeller and welded a cap where the shaft exists the housing. I think with some applications, you could simply reuse the old water hose barb. I wanted a cleaner look, so I cut it off and welded an AN fitting.

Better to proportionally go from very slow to max, over a 10* span. Better yet, controller also looks at radiator outlet temp as a part of its algorithm. And injector duty cycle
