Im looking at getting a new water pump for my 26/30 and just looking at my options.

A N1 pump is one option or I have been thinking about a electric pump setup like this

Is anyone running a electric water pump as im leaning more that way as it can keep cooling after the engine is off

yes ive been running one for around 6 months, the nylon 115 with the controller. only problem i have had is one hot summer day it blew the main fuse that feeds it, i guess the engine bay temp and the hot day combined with the long run of the wire to the battery did it, the wire is sorta smallish so i upgraded it and haven't had a problem since. with the existing pump i just pressed the shaft out and welded up the whole. very happy with it thus far.

upgraded alloy radiator, handles hard driving fine. i just have a davies craig thermo fan going, running on a mechanical temp switch. The new davies craig controllers can control both the pump and fan which ive been thinking of upgrading too. Ill get some pics for you.

    • Make sure to have the block checked for cracking etc before doing anything.
    • Pull it out. Put a suction hose on it drawing from a bucket of petrol. Put a discharge hose on it pointing back into the bucket. Add 12V. That will tell you if it works at all. Then put it back in, turn the engine on, and see if there is 12V on the terminals. That would suggest that it runs when the car does and adds its "capacity" to the total pumping system.
    • So you're telling me this is an external fuel pump? I've had the car for at least 6 years now and it's been there the entire time. I had the car tuned a couple years ago and I had the shop do the fuel system, including a new in-tank Proflow 340 which shit itself about a year later and I replaced it with the same model. I find it odd that they didn't remove this or even make mention of it. I seriously had no idea what it was. How would I test if it's functioning?
    • Don't take it as a guarantee. It's all a game of statistics. And on top of that, smooth over a thick layer of "quality of spanner spinning" as a further Gaussian curve of probability of failure. You play games at anything above ~400 HP, and you're using up margins in terms of engineering and luck.
    • Aye, everything is being touched and all the parts that are responsible for the oiling issues are also fixed. (Crank collar, billet prp oil pump, head return to sump, yada yada yada)  Everything used is of reputable brands like greddy, prp etc. My tuner did mention we’d keep the torque on the “lower” side.   glad to read that my engine won’t blow up on me lmao
