I'd like to know if there is a calculation or a specific flowrate at a given rpm specified by Toyota for the stock Waterpump?

My car is going to be a roadrace(track) car, there are benefits of both mechanical and electric pump setups but I need to know the limits and characteristics of the stock pump before I can go specing my electric pump
Unfortunately, I don't have flow calcs for the oem water pump. If you do find them please post them up here!

I can tell you that the oem water pump + aftermarket radiator (eg. PWR or Fluidyne) + oem fan & shroud is a combo that has been roadraced VERY successfully, over 700rwhp with no overheating. If you're only going to be BPU+++, I can tell you 100% for sure that the oem water pump will not hold you back. Btw, be sure to use only distilled water and water wetter (no coolant) for optimal cooling in the summer.

NB: Please consider posting any help requests in a new thread instead of asking me for help privately. About 99.9+% of the time, private help requests end up covering great information that could be very valuable to other forum members. If you have a good reason for needing the help request to be private, I'll consider it. If not, then why not give everyone else the opportunity to pitch in too, and/or learn from the information? Remember, there's no such thing as a dumb question. We're all here to help within this family of Supra owners.
