electric water pump?

anyone run an electric water pump or know someone who does? any recommendations? I'm thinking about going with one, I plan to run it off of a relay, and piggyback the relay on the fuel pump relay circuit so that anytime the fuel pump is running, so is the water pump. thoughts?

Re: electric water pump?

I ran an electric water pump for a few years on a 383 HSR 10:1 engine and had no issues at all. It was a daily driver too. It was wired to a switched 12V source in the fuse panel using the supplied harness and relay.

I run a summit brand on my car. I have it on a switched 12v circuit. I have not had any issues yet.

Re: electric water pump?

I ran that same exact belt/bracket setup on my last car along with the Proform water pump. It worked well for me.

Re: electric water pump?

I've run this one in my car for a year and have loved it. Low profile and flows 55gpm. I've run two meziere pumps and had problems. Wired it to my ignition and also included and override toggle switch.
