Hi group
Thanks to everybody I'm learning a lot here.
The idea of the electric pump sounds good to me
this is for a single rotor I have a big Rad so I
think
the flow will be adequate!
It is easier to intall and it remove one belt
in my configuration.
What do you think about it?

I will take a look at the Ford Fiesta pump too
I  have to machine an adapter anyway.I'll
consider all possibility.
Thanks
Francois


Don't mess with the electric pump. Let's us assume
for the moment it only takes
one HP to pump enough water for a one rotor engine.
One HP is 746 watts or
at 12 volts ...62 amps!!!!!! Right out at the total
capacity of your alternator!!!!!!
The only reason those pump work in drag racing at
all is the engine does
not get time to fully heat up in eight or less
seconds.

After the drag run the engine idles so the electric
pump can cool them down.
The reason they use them in drag racing in the first
place is
the fact that mechanical pumps do indeed suck HP. In
some cases as much as
three HP. So too does an electric pump pumping the
same amount of water.
There is only one thing you need to remember at all
times...

There is no free lunch!!!!!!

Most advertising claims for these pumps are just
plain false.
The US gov agency responsible for monitoring
advertising claims is too stupid to figure it out.
