Electric water pump

You could adapt something like a Moroso drive to the stock pump without too much fabrication (just a mount for the motor), but you'd also have to work out the new belt size and route when you eliminate it from the belt's path. You could also consider a remote electric pump, but you'd still have to negotiate taking the water pump out of the belt path.

Is that worth a few HP (assuming that's the goal)?
 
I'm just seeing whats out there,and it would be nice at the track to circulate the water pump with the fan on to help cool down between runs.
 
there was someone talkin about some kind of in-line ele. pump on here awhile back

Yep. That's the remote electric pump idea I mentioned.;)

Can't remember if that was a Viper engine vehicle it was being considered for, but it could be made to work the same way on any engine.
 
yep. it was mentioned that it was more for between rounds cool down, but seems like he was goin to try to make it the primary coolant pump for his truck

That should be no problem. The remote pumps I've seen have GPH numbers that meet or exceed those of traditional pumps.
 
No pics i would have to remove the vaccum pump to see it or remove all my air delfectors underneath but i can tell you exactly what to do. you mount it in the lower hose pump can be mounted to the frame with a bracket. I hard piped from the water neck on the engine to the pump, then just rubber hose to the radatior. its kinda nice how they ran the lower hose that close to the frame it makes for a easy install. I remove the water pump and took the impellar off and milled down the end of the shaft, welded a cap around the end of the shaft(just in case of a bearing failure i dont have water going out everywhere). And the wiring would be up to you i ran it to my switch panel in the cab. since yours is a daily driver i assume a 12volt keyed source and a relay would work great. Also my truck is set up for road racing and cooling is not a problem.

Excellent:rock: ,Thanks for the great info. Mine is a sunny day and go play at the track truck:burnout: :D
 
I am wanting to do a remote pump too. However, I would like to find a PWM controller as well though. My dream would be to have it ramp up speed based on water temp (no thermostat required). Being PWM should greatly extend its life cycle since it wouldn't have to run 100% all of the time or fight the thermostat. Well I found a thermostatic switch from Moroso that would cycle the pump. But that begs the question on where you would mount it?
