Woke up to a puddle of antifreeze in the garage today. My waterpump went out today. Going to cost me $400 for new water pump termastat and dexcool. Love the expense of dang cars!

Get an electric water pump while you have the chance.

The difference is that the electric doesn't draw it's power mechanically from the engine (cause it's electric

); therefore, hp is freed up to be able to be put to the wheels.

Meziere makes a very good one.

I have two water pumps for sale. One has 24,000 miles with no known problems. The other is off my personnel car, with 75,000 miles, not a problem at all. Would sell both for $100 or $50 each. Going with EWP when I finish my H/C

Electric won't last as long as mechanical. If it is a dd expect to get stranded eventually.

I thought the electric water pumps only free up like 5-7 rwhp?... In my opinion if you're not starving for that extra inch don't install one, just get a mechanical one.

It all adds up tho

EWP flows more, especially at low RPM's keeping you running cooler. Edelbrock and evans make a nice aftermarket traditional style. Not sure about the evans but Edelbrock claims 20% more flow than OEM

a mezeire is about $540 WP319. i got mine from Bob @ EPP...

since my car is not a DD, i chose to run one. so far, no issues, but i only have about 6hrs of run time on it...

I think mine is going out. Its making a cha, cha sound..lol. Thought it was the tensioner and changed that already so, I think the water pump is now the culprit.
