I will reveal one of my future projects- since it might be a few years before I get around to it. I'd like to see someone else try it- I guarrantee its one of the best modifications you can do for power.

Remove the stock waterpump/ mill the passages with size 20AN port fittings (to accept radiator hoses from pump), and plumb inline from the bottom radiator hose a Deadenbear remote waterpump with a Y-fitting into to ports. Belt routing would be simple to just run a smaller belt circling the perimeter accessories only (no longer inverted belt routing for pump)

You will gain power from bigtime from not relying on the crank to turn the waterpump anymore (basically the same principle somewhat used on the LS1 motors- only remotely mounted) The motor will twist up faster in rpms also.

I would but... I only drive the altenator and water pump, they really aren't that parasitic I imagine. I was hoping you were going to name some ultra secret project to give some crazy amount of power... Oh well, ideas are good in general.

You'd be suprized how much HP that stock waterpump robs- especially on a motor that only puts out 140 hp gross. You have net HP and gross HP. You will most likely be gaining back aprox 10-15net HP at least.

hmm, i'll have to check out one of those pumps to see what they cost. That could be a good addition to all the other little things i want to do with the 3.4

I had this idea a while ago with the Meziere remote pump, but it's way too expensive- https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...855#post366277

Good point tho about the motor spinning up faster; I never thought about that part. I just figured it'd give back some HP!

Im not so sure you will gain a lot, although totally different, some LT1 guys replace thier waterpump with a electric one and thier are hardly any gains. I really can't say for a v6 though.

The ONLY reason I have yet to consider an electric waterpump is my car is a daily driver. I have a hard time trusting my whole engine to an electric pump that could burn out 5 years down the road and leave me screwed.....

I bet the power gains will be at LEAST noticeable. I mean hey, if people get power from underdrive pulleys.....eliminating an entire pump should free even more I would imagine.

I think its mostly mustang guys who get power from underdrive pulley's, i've seen some topics where people dynoed after a underdrive and got a 5 rw hp gain.
