I got a remote pump for mine, gonna leave the original pump cassing up front and plumb the remote to the rear of the heads so it will still look original

i'm still not convinced on leccy water pumps on a road car - they are extremely expensive, and to be perfectly honest, a normal pump works just fine anyway.. i also sont like the idea of loosing the alt meaning you boil the engine quicker..

i just cant see a couple of BHP being worth the expense, especialy as you wont feel a gain of anything less that 10 BHP, probably more like 15 is a heavier car like a yank..

How did the Duster's rear lights go, PhilO

I see your point they are a bit on the expensive side.

f.kin fantastic mate..

i'l bring them to MK tomorrow when i'm at ryans.. wanna drop over to collect them?

Well i am running a electric water pump,
they work much more eficiently as they drive at a constant speed, manual pumps catheta at high rpms reducing the effectivness of the pump.

Also electric pumps can be wired to continue to circulate after the engine has stoped reducing heat soak which V8's have a problem with

modern ones dont..

any HEI chev with an ECU should retard the timing when it hot starts, preventing that lazy hot sttart problem.

also it sounds neat as you can hear the timing come back in after it fires!
