Reply to "Electric water pump?"

kirbyschraderMember

I'm impressed. So many people running the electric pumps.
They must work well.

And so many Pantera owners with a GT40!

I also have a Meziere 55gpm remote electric pump in my GT40. It has worked great since installation. The car runs cool in 100F+ days sitting in traffic.

Advantages:
1) One of the other great things about a remote pump... You can have a TRUE flat firewall. There is absolutely no 'bump' intruding into the cabin at all.

I intend to implement the same change to my Pantera.

2) It is pumping at the maximum rate ALL the time. This means while siting in traffic idling, you are still moving coolant at the maximum rate instead of an idling mechanical water pump.

3) You can leave it run for awhile after you shut down the engine. That really gets rid of all that heat.

Yes, a good pump is expensive, but I feel the cost was well worth the gains. It's quiet, too! I can barely hear it running even with the engine off.

FWIW,
Kirby
