Davies Craig electric water pumps?

[russtik]

Have you installed one?

How did the installation go?

Why did you install one?

What's your opinion of them now you've been running one and would you recommend others to do the same?

Discuss.

Ta, Russ.

Put one In marks car easy to fit but make sure you fit the controller, when was rolling road tuned by the 2 steves they said they are crap waste of time but when they finished they said never seen one working that well. Would I fit another yes, I would have fitted one in mine if I had the room , my next car will have one fitted. Easy to fit yes. Mike has one is his v8

no brainer for me as the car had the pump when i bought it but not the controller.
Keeps temp within a set % / parameter so that's good, means the pump switches speed/pulses to get the engine up to temp as fast as poss and then runs it to cool down.
cost with controller is likely to be around £260-280 i guess but yep i'd go the same route on another car.

As Dick mentioned I've got one fitted and I swear by it. I've had the engine ticking over for hours in hot weather, messing about with the mapping, and it sat at a solid 90c. Mines got the LCD screen fitted so you can monitor temps and adjust on the hoof if needed. It wont work miracles, or change the laws of thermodynamics for example, if your radiator is too small its going to get hot regardless.

Highly recommended.

Hmm £289 for the pump + controller. Tempting

Brian and I have had one fitted on the Ultima. The US Chevy tuners like them. Have yet to use it.

Not personal experience, but a mate has used and then discarded them on his (frankly potty) turbo V6 car. He had all manner of issues with them. Leaking, failing, but mostly, just poor flow.
