Keep in mind that they dont vary the flow of water at all. This could be good, and this could be very bad as well. Generally, they are not reccomended for daily drivers/often drivers.
i have 50,000 on my meziere pump thats on my 347, i run a permacool 16" fan and a GM 140 amp-one wire alt with no problems at all, if you call meziere they absolutely approve of continuous street duty with they're pumps, how many people posting here have actually used an electric pump in street duty??? i have and it works fine.
There are no good things that can happen from having an electric pump for the street.
Just asking for trouble, and it won't be if, it will be when.
50,000 miles is like 45,000 more than most people get out of them.
They don't even get you enough hp to justify the $300. Put the money in the heads or something else.
88 gt 50 and 2000xp8, what kind of electric water pumps have YOU used personally on the street,since YOU'VE obviously had such bad experiences with them please share the maufacturer of the the pump that has let YOU down so that no one else gets stuck in YOUR situation.. or are you just repeating what somebodys brothers best friend told they're cousin at they're uncle's stepson's cookout two years ago??? i had used a stewart stage two pump on my ranger because it was a shortend version with big flow and severe duty bearing and such, the problem with big volume pumps is that they dont flow as well as a stock at idle, has to do with impeller design just like a turbo or centrifical supercharger etc, any thing over idle and they flow respectively more so much so that at 6,000 rpm with my stewart pump i was moving so much water that it was rupturing my heater cores, if i slowed the pump down (with a larger pulley) it wouldnt cool at idle ... see what im getting at here.... electric pumps have they;re impeller designed to run at a specific rpm, thus the efficiency of that impeller is nearly double that of a mechanical pump, the electric doesnt have to operate any where from 800 rpm-6,500, it is probly set a 3,450 rpm and all the cavitation,turbulance and flow distribution problems can be corrected if your working without the variable know as rpm., as for the issue of electrical failures stranding you ... get over it, your whole car operates off of electric, its obiously not an issue for your electric fan,fuel pump,radio,computer,coil,tfi,wipers,radio,lights,etc. and jrichker- meziere pumps come with a dummy pulley built into the pump motor that allows you keep all you pulley hardware and stock belt, and speak for yourself, I am qualified and have "electrical skills" just swaping to an electric pump DOESNT demand a new alternator, the pumps only pull between 5 and 7 amps, probly less than your stereo, and you dont need seperate controllers, have run when your ignition is on just like anything else, not doing that can cause steam pockets or boil off inside the motor if the pump doesnt run, then those incompotent users spread false rumors of how the product is junk.. the GM alternater is identical so the early for pivot type except the pivot on the gm is 3/8 and the ford is 7/16 so just drill the hole out and run a 4 guage(or larger) wire up to your battery or battery side of your starter selinoid
