Hi guys,
short question for all of you.

Do forum members use additional waterpumps ( electrical ones) to support the flow.


I think about something like shown in the picture. I would say from the volume, the pump itself is strong enough to guarantee the waterflow.

Another question, do we have the capacity numbers from the original pumps ?

A couple of people on this forum are already using this type of waterpump (the EWP110) to completely replace the mechanical pump. This can either be mounted close to the engine or next to the radiator. The consensus is that these will be OK, and will fit one to my vehicle. They have previously been discussed here:

On page 117 they have a replacement pump for the Rover engines

Presumably they then also do a similar one for Fords - that will mean not having to modify the pump innards / remove them

I have fitted a Davies Craig electric pump to mine comes complete with controller and keeps the water temp very stable and cooler than the mechanical pump.

Hi Guys,
wau, thx a lot for the feedback, that was quick ;-)

So question left is, are you only use the EWP or do you use the controlling box also. To me that doesn't look necessary for a road driven car, or am I wrong ?

Unless you need a fast warm-up of the heater, you run the EWP continuously and replace the thermostat with a restrictor.

Ahhh, ok so the restrictor would also solve the bypass problem right ? Or do you still have the bypass?
