Thread: Eletric water pump??

Tweet

I am looking for a electric water pump , which brand is rebuildable ?

I think the Mezaire (sp) is rebuildable..... Heck, I thought most of the new style one's were.....??????

I'd recommend against the cheaper ones, unless you actually intend to run it 'only' at the track.

strictly race, I see alot of folks running CSR and Meziere...Moroso claims their's is good street/strip but I've been too nervous to try an electric pump on the street... I'm pretty sure all of the above are serviceable.

Call Meziere on the phone and ask for a recommendation as to flow requirements, cost and rebuildability.

Electric pumps is the next thing the car companies will do. Besides water there's power steering pumps coming too in some next generation of something.

Talk was of increasing the battery voltage to at least 24 if not more. Oh well.

Any one know how the proform pumps hold up. This is strictly for the drag strip.
Are the Weiand pumps rebuildable ?

I found a new Weiand pump for sale anyone have any experience with these? Are they rebuildable? The price is 150 not including shipping. Price seems good but looking through Summit catalog there it only flows 16-18 GPM and draws 9 amps which is more than the others they have for sale. Any thoughts?

On the front of my Hemi I use two electric marine type water pumps into a Y, so that I can put on the Hilborn fuel pump, and I have the alt on the bottom right side.
Won't work for what you want, but it's what I need/want. I have the FED look going in my T coupe. 15" stacks on the Hilborn & funny car type baffled headers.

Pic below is before I painted & put all the other goodies on.

215 dollars sounds like a good deal at 50GPM . The weiand is 215 and only 16-18 GPM.
MEZIERE makes a remote water pump also 191.99
These remotes seems to be a better deal than the usual electric water pumps. Anyone use one of these?





PRP Remote Electric Water Pump
The wave of future cooling. Small and compact and only weighs 6 pounds. These pumps are designed to be remotely mounted and can work as a standard water pump or can be used to reverse cool your engine. Will flow 50GPM. CNC machined from 6061 and hard coat anodized. Hose adapter fittings not included.

any one???

I don't know about this specific pump. Looks like it ought to work fine... being remote I can imagine being a pain to install and route hoses.

One thing to think about though, I've heard high flow pumps can actually be less effective at cooling as the coolant is moving too fast to absorb enough heat. Now I don't know if 50GPM is too much but I think you will do fine with 15-20GPM.

-Chris

Within reason higher flow rate is usually desired. This raises fluid velocity and thus the convective heat transfer coefficient which is the primary heat rejection process here. But 50 gpm is quite a jump from 20 gpm, the possible issue being there is not enough time for the air to convect the heat out of the core.

Although I don't know the life or maintenance specifics on any of these I would tend to shy away from them because they are not brushless. My preferred pump would have permanent magnets and a built in inverter thus no brushes or commutators to wear out. And it would likely cost more.

Never saw the need for one... Suppose it would be good if you had some real clearance issues, but with the plumbing required to make it work....think I'll stick with the bolt on electrics, they sure are nice at the dragstrip anyway....

I think one of the regular electric water pumps will work fine but space is limited. This guy is running one of the remote pumps you can see it at the lower right hand side.
