Yes there are electric water pumps but honestly you only need it for boosted and f/I setups. The factory water pump provides a great water flow for what it is designed to do. Unless you are running boosted applications you won't benefit from having one.

A MEZIERE electric water pump has an idler pulley so you still use the OE belt and route it the same.

how much do they cost? The nice thing about the is you can run it even while the car is turned off. like at the track to help the engine cool off a little more than it normally would.

Deysha, that link does not seem to work?
From what I hear this is a pretty good low cost mod, frees up about 10 HP and improves MPG, not bad for $200-300
