Electric Water Pump, Any One Ran One?

[51NNA]

So i was just reading an import mag and spotted the davies craig EWP in one of the adds, got me thinking about the pros and cons of it, ive had experience with EWP's before but not too cool an engine, I used too build water too air intercoolers for patrols and cruisers, so they had a small rad with a small EWP that would only draw around 2amps, so heres my pros and cons lol

Engine EWP

Pro:

Can control water flow

Can run on when the engines off too limit heat soaking

More control over engine temps...to a point =/

Possibly a 5-10kw gain

Cons:

Being electric it can stop

Extra wiring

Extra Alt load

More things too leak

The power gain isnt why i want it, it was more for the control of temps..

Also as a fail safe, even leaving the Engine water pump connected for that just incase, but then i dont know if it would become a restriction if you want too flow more then the engine pump can flow... hummmm

I think the idea behind it is good, but real life results compared too "More Power More Torque" is another...

Also a vid that explains it for anyone who doesnt know about them
