Hey crew hope you’re all well, so I’m looking into an electric water pump though I don’t know what size I need 35gpm or 55gpm???

I’m about to put a 5core alloy radiator with twin fans in it. Car has approx 450to500hp,hope this info helps

Default Re: Electric water pump

WOFTAM for a street car - normal water pump works perfectly don't try reinvent the wheel, spend the money elsewhere.

Make sure you electrically isolate that alloy radiator from the body of the car with rubber mounting or you'll eat a nice hole in it from electrolysis, if it becomes the return path to earth then you can kiss it goodbye, especially if its in an older car with an old wiring loom, corroded earths/high resistance joins everywhere.
