I set up an overdrive pulley on my 1.9D water pump.  Used a smaller cast iron pulley from 
a gas engine Rabbit and modified it to fit in-line with the crank pulley.  About 10-20% 
smaller than the original, so make the pump spin that much faster.  Made about a 1/2 notch 
difference in operating temps per the factory temp gauge.
