I thought it was interesting what they were saying about not needing to have fast flowing water but turbulence. Also about the pumps performance in a pressurised system. I have an electric water pump from a Lotus Exige -bought off the bay from someone advertising it as an Esprit V8 fuel pump . I might have a play around with it and see if I can get it to work on my V8 (yeah, like I need anything more to do on the flippin' project! ) Can the company who makes the pumps not advise on applications? |

A bit obvious really, but have you asked on the V8 forum if anyone knows the flow rate of the std pump? There's a lot of folks on there who know their Rover V8 onions. Not many doing Merc V8s though... I think I'm on my own with this one!  |

One thing with a mechanical pump is that it will flow more the higher the revs. But I guess the electric ones will be a constant flow rate. So I would have thought he would have to get an electric one that will flow the same as the V8 at the highest RPM.
I know it doesnt help with the question but it is something to bear in mind

Good thinking PhoenixC, and going fron what they were talking about on the V8 forum, where the speed of the flow can actually cool less efficiently, you'd have to get the leccy pump going at just the right speed for whatever situation the engine is going to be found in - it'd be no good having an electric pump blasting out water at full tilt if you're stuck in nose to tail traffic doing 800 rpm (I wouldn't have thought so anyway ). Water pump flows are a bit of an entity to me really - I never really thought about doing much with them until now! |
