Also cars making that kind of power are probably running methanol or alcohol which runs a **** ton cooler then gas. And they are only going very short distances.

electric water pumps can be run on the street. There advantage is the flow alot of water at idle and low rpm. Belt mounted pumps only flow allot at high rpms. You also save a little hp because you are not using the engine to power the pump.You can get remote mount pumps and mount them anywhere. summit sells them, check out http://www.csiperformance.com/waterpumps.html

OK Couldnt you do the belt style electric water pumps??????? They still run off a belt but are electric motors...Hell with the smog pump gone you should be able to make a bracket from there......Ive been trying to think of a way for one my self but havnt though to hard yet was waiting till i got off my lazy ass and finished polishing so i can start to assemble the motor......Then i will probably put the electric one on there.........I feel this is the way to go since every 1 is scared about keeping there car kooler and this will do it at a stop sign were most cars get hot...........

Ok i looked into this more and found fluidyne makes 2 versions and i figured price to hp gain its not worth it.......IT will work on the sreet but at a price tag of $400.00 dollars its not worth the 8% hp gain.......Unless you're tapped out and there is nothing else left.......Or you could just turn the boost up a notch.................

plenty of space as is...it's a small motor the size of a fuel filter.

shouldn't be that complecated.

yes, but what hold the alternator when you take off the water pump?

I don't understand all you would be takin out

or eliminating is the pully and the fan,

the rest well you fabricate a pice of round

metal with four holes, and attach it too a

12 volt motor. I f the car is at 1k or at 8k

your water pump will always be turnin at the same speed.

No need for 400$ equip. or fancy devices.........

Maybe it's easier said than done, but sounds good to me..... https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683473.gif
