awd92gsx Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 I dunno...I've always heard that electric pumps shouldn't be used on street applications... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 meitzer makes one that is supposedly good for the street. I've got one on my dedicated track car. Yet to be ran. I spoke with one of the tech's there and he told me this pump would work for my application. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 tuff z Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 vihn, a friend of mine is using one in his firebird. had to drill a hole i the t-stat so the coolant could circulate when the car was off. he had it wired on a relay so that when he shut it off it would continue to run the pump & rad fan to cool the car down. similar to a turbo timer. he seems to like how it works. david Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinhZXT Posted December 7, 2005 Author Share Posted December 7, 2005 Thanks for the replies. I searched some more on Summitracing page and they do make some for the LS1 motor. I will be getting one very soon. When I run the electric pump I will not need the t-stat and it will be turning on by a tempt controller. I just shot 2 birds with 1 stone. The electric pump doesn't have any heater fittings coming out which I am trying to eliminate on my stock water pump. Also I should have more room below the water pump to put the alternator there. My engine should have 1 very short belt for the alternator and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
