Re: Craig Davies electric water pump

Hi Brett,
I ve just ftted a DC 110 LPM water pump and DC digital controller to my RF 40 and have found it to work well. My problem was if the car wasnt moving it would just get hotter and hotter as I suspected not due to air flow but insufficient water movement through the system. The electronic water pump has fixed that. I have removed the impeller frrom the standard 302 water pump and also the thermostat and letting the digitial controller manage things. I have mounted the controller in the cabin were it can be seen for visual check via the led lights of its status of operation. Took the car for a long run the other day at 40c temperatures not a hint of overheating even whilst at idle for lenghty periods. In terms of reliability only early days perhaps but all seems to work really well.
