Electric waterpump

[jfor441]

Anybody running an electric waterpump? If so, what are your thoughts and opinions on it? What kind of outside temps do you do your driving in?

I want to get a Meziere, i was waiting to see how they held up and a few guys i know have had them now for 2+ years so i think thats reliable.

 

[jfor441]

That sounds good to me! I am gonna try soak every last bit of HP from my build.

 

[scarface]

im looking into a Meziere also.... my bud runs one on his Mach, and he swears by them.

Yeah i haven't heard of any failures with them and i visit alot of forums etc...i'd like to wire up a light to notify me of failure just in case though.

how would you wire it up. because I have been thinking about the same thing? Would you make a small LED to tell you when it is on, or come on only if it is defective?

what are the benefits from electrics vs pulley driven ones????? Is it just the fact that they are not pulley driven????

less drag on the engine = more HP

o ok so there really not anymore efficient as far as cooling?

I wouldnt think so ???

 

[jfor441]

Not any more efficient or any less. Supposed to free up around 25HP. Not sure if that is crank HP or rwhp.

They are actually more efficient since the pump goes full effect at every RPM, so sitting in traffic at idle the electric is doing a better job then the mechanical.

I haven't decided yet but most likey a light that was on when the pump was working and shut off or binked when it was not... :dunno:

That makes sense... as for the 25hp part Im gonna have to call bs on that one

Probably looking at 10rwhp at BEST. Naturally, it will depend on combinations, but 25HP is no where near accurate. I have a chrome version waiting to go on my motor. O0

If ya read what was wrote, you would see 25 crank hp. That is what I have read. Notice where I sais Not sure if it is crank HP or rwhp? http://www.meziere.com/index.php?pgName=wp346 says 11 hp.

 

[DropTopPony]

I've seen people post gains of @5rwhp from these which is nice that they save a little hp but i'm more interested in the added cooling it can provide at idle and low rpm's

 

[voidfinger]

so drop how would you wire that up to let you know if it was working or not?
