    Question belt driven electric water pump on the street

     



    Curious if anyone has used the Moroso electric water pump on the street -p/n 4433? Did it provide adequate cooling?

    I won't be driving it on days over 100 degrees

    I am building the driveline now: 393 / T5 and 3.55 gears. Running 8.9 compression. Future plans to add supercharger or turbo...whichever is the best dollar to horsepower gain...within a middle income budget.

    Thanks for your input....in advance.

    Why an electric pump??? It's going to take a bigger alternator to run the thing and the cooling with these electric pumps on the street is less than adequate. They are designed for quick cooling a motor between rounds at the drag strip, not for everday street use. IMO, a good belt driven water pump with a set of March (or whatever brand) pulleys would be far better suited for street use.

    KISS! Keep It Simple Stupid! Why complicate something just for complication's sake? A belt drive is foolproof, leave the electrics for the racers.
