eLECTRIC WATERPUMP ON DAILY DRIVER?

Anyone running this on a daily driver?

The only experience I have with an electric water pump was on a blown small block at Bonneville and it would not provide sufficient water flow to keep the engine cool for five miles at full throttle. On a daily driver? I really don't know but I personally would not run one. Stock ones have worked great for so long.

i have the Meziere WP311. it seems to do fine for me. it does keep the temps low(mid 90's here) just like a mech pump. they are pricey though. i paid around $375 for mine w/o a pulley.

An electric water pump is just like an electric fan in the fact that it dropps the drag off the accesories, resulting in more power to the wheels, but increases load on the electric system and is just one more part that can go wrong. I am definatly going electric. The only accesory I'll be running is the alternator.

I really like the idea and It looks cool under the hoos and releases some HP.

thanks. anybody else?

Not a good idea for a street car. If you're just making 1/4 mile passes on the weekends in a drag car, they're great. The mechanical pump is more durable, lasts longer and there is less chance of a belt breaking than there is of having an electrical problem. Save your money and put it towards something that will give you more bang for your buck for your street car.

My Meziere WP311 is awesome on my non daily driven street car. It is rated for 2500 hours that is a long ass time.

2500 hours is only like 115 days if that is street driven that isnt very long
