Running remote water pump?

[DynaSlim]

Anyone ever run a remote water pump either for clearance issues or to clean up the front of the motor?

I was looking at a few from Granger that should be sufficient. 50gph I assume.

I'm trying to find a few good setups with the remote water pump some pictures would be nice. All I can find right now are photos of dragsters and few roadsters.

I was thinking of mounting the pump on the front passenger side near the lower part of the radiator, pipe one end to the lower side of the rad and the other end of the pump to the front of the block with a Y-type AN fittings. Then the other side on top I guess I could just run a single line with AN fitting to the intake manifold.

My reason for all this is to clean the front of the motor up. I'm also dropping the alternator down lower to the point it would've been parallel with the water pump.

seems like a ton of money and possible loss in reliability for no reason at all. Keep the OEM location unless you really need the room for something.

Hmm....Either way i was looking into going with an electric setup. I just kind of liked the way the front of the motor looked without a water pump there and just 2 braided lines.

The cost to complete the remote setup looks to come around $265max finished.
The pumps are around $100-150

I have a electric CSR mounted on the motor and it's great, can cool the car down at the track with it and the electric fan on after I shut the car down in a hurry! Don't waste ur money on a remote mount. Ur Gona be 200+ in hose and fittings before u ever buy a good pump which are 200+ as well!

With the Grainger pump, I am curious how it would handle coolant temp. Most of that is agricultural products used for pumping ambient temp fertilizers or just water. Just a thought, the unit may not be well I insulated to fight heat transfer.

I've just been googling around and came up with this one some one was running.
DAYTON Utility Pump 12VDC - Flexible Impeller Pedestal Pumps - 5UXL8|5UXL8 - Grainger Industrial Supply

Mixed between what psi to use, Heard the 35 gph would cool better but then I read that 55 gph, Quoted from another site,
"A larger pump would not only increase flow, but it would also raise the pressure in the block and heads, basically from the outlet of the pump to the thermostat/restictor plate housing, which would reduce the chance of steam pockets (hot spots)in the head around the combustion chamber, remember the more you raise the pressure, the more you raise the boiling point and steam doesn't transfer heat! You can use restrictors instead of a thermostat to control the flow and pressure inside of the engine and the rad cap would control the overall system pressure."

It seems the temperature come down to the impeller material. The plastic is a not so good choice and the brass/bronze is a better choice.

I've seen something about a boat pump but I'm still trying to find it again.

Nothern seems to carry some as well.

I got a meziere remote pump setup. since we have different setups/cars, not too sure how it would help you out, but if you want ill take some pics for you tonight if interested. but like the said above, my pump was $400 iirc....

I appreciate it but I can't buy anything at the moment. Still need to try getting my Doc to release me so I can go back to work next week.

Just scoping out idea's. I still need to get the brackets to lower my alternator and get rid of the serpentine belt tensioner for an aftermarket one. Move the alt to the passenger side as well, figure out new belt size and how I'll do the power steering.

HAHAHAHAHA


I take it you didn't price out -12 and -16 fittings?

I don't need to buy new ones I've got a stash of some used crap that a friend isn't using anymore.

Anyways what are they new? Like $6-12 bucks each.

For the -12 and -16 needed to do a cooling system? Guess again.

 

[DynaSlim]

I found them around that range so if you can't then something must be wrong with your google.
Guess this site is a lie then.

This sounds dumb as fuck. Just get a meziere electric water pump and be done.

 

[Turbocharged400sbc]

if you put a generator in your hatch I'll give you a spa water pump

I didnt know people purchased electric water pumps to "clean up the engine" lol. Usually it is for HP draw by the standard pump or for remote cooling when the engine is off lulz

You have to make horsepower to have HP draw lol
