    You were keeping an eye on me, right!!!
    I am planning on the Mechanical WP430 from Meziere not the
electrical,
    this electric water pump thing almost got me through the electric
    chair LOL.

    Still looking for complete specs like weight, size, operation temp
etc,
    But the graph attached looks good to me, I still have some times to
    decide
    on this one.

    My intent here is to install it low since I planned to have the
radiator
    under neath the plane
    as some pictures were showing here recently.
    I believe a lot in this solution, I think it is easier to keep the
    heat out
    to start with then
    getting air in the cowling at 150 - 180 mph then out with over 100KW
of
    heat.

    Where high pressure and flow of a mechanical pump are necessary, this
    problem solver mounts and drives like a dry sump oil pump. All
    O-Ring seals,
    5/8" Keyed shaft. "WN" Style fittings required.

JP,
Where are you going to mount this pump?
How will you drive it?

Hi Don,

I wish to install a remote pump this one or an other one
below the midpoint of the cooling system similarly to the sketch
attached.  Since my radiator will be underneath the airplane, it is
important
the pump is installed low as well. Do you know of a better remote pump I
could use?

Thanks,

JP

Sketch? Well I'll be :)

Sorry Paul, I certainly did not use the adequate term,
3D Rendering is certainly more appropriate.

Just kidding as usual.
