electric water pump?
I was wondering if anyone uses one? I was talking to a few of the guys at my local autox and alot of them seemed to run them in there cars, being once you turn your car off the water flow stops. While with the electric pump they just flick the switch and the water keeps circulating helping the car cool down faster between laps. -

it could work… the L series is just about 2 inchs taller then a RB26, was thinking about it but it's too much work. not to mention they have the worst head flow then any of the Z cars. ever produced.

So are you guys talking about having a pump attached to the waterpump via a pulley, or directly attached to the waterpump.
Or even more serious, a remanufactured pump that has been turned into an electric one?
Either way, have you guys heard the whine they make? SOOOOO annoying for a street car. -

Like something you'd stick inline with the rad hose? How would you get the thermostat to stay open once the coolant got past that point?

It is not recommended to confirm proper installation by driving into walls or other barriers as this could cause personal injury or damage to the vehicle. -

just make a bracket for a 12v motor and pully, and run the water pump by a 12v motor. im sure you could even get trick with it, and put speed control on it.Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a mans character make him a moderator. -
