Electric water pump???
 

Looking for some info on water pumps, like the meziere electric type. Who has had good luck with what? Looking for performance and reliability. Thanks in advance.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

I have used one for five years with zero issues.

Thanks Ed, car came with what looks like a cheap no name brand aluminum water pump (sbc) and an electric drive kit with a plastic fan that really doesn't do a fantastic job. Looking to swap to an electric pump and electric fan.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Just replaced mine. It was dated 2006. No complaints

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Thx.

My CSR has been a good one. -Al

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Good to know, thx.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

I have yet to try it, but hoping it will speed up cool down time vs the cheaper 30gpm unit I am currently using. http://www.ebay.com/itm/CSR-901NHV-S...72.m2749.l2649

Other than that, I have never had a water pump issue even with the cheap units. Contingency money likely plays a part in many cases.

The Meziere pumps work well and last a long time.

Their customer service is outstanding.

My son had a water pump for twelve years, it starting acting up and he sent it back to them for service. It was back to UPS the same day they got it. The charges were reasonable.

I had them make be a flex plate. It was less than they estimated and a refund check was packed with the flex plate when they returned it.

I wish all companies were like Meziere.

I saw some guys on Drag Week using a brushless low amp draw fan that got amazing reviews so I'm going to try that out too. I looked for contingency on pumps and only could find Mezeire paid for flexplates, am I missing something?

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Now that is good to know!

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Ig this out today, I have this on hand for another project (LS) and can just buy the SBC adapters so thats an option too.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

I have Meziere pumps on both of my cars. Never an issue with either. One is 7 years old and the other is about 5.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

With their great reviews from you guys, that's the direction I'm leaning.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Meziere pumps are pretty bullet proof .
I've done a couple of cars with the new Moroso pumps that seem to be very good as well.
CSR ,CSI ,whatever the call themselves now will never get another dime from me , they still owe me contingency from 2008 , and they never lasted like a Meziere .

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Good point.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

I've had my Meziere pump with the built-in tank/fill point for probably 15 years now. I sent it in to be re-anodized once but that's it.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Meziere only pays Contingency for starters and Division races!

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Meziere water pumps come with a two year warranty from the purchase date. They can also rebuild all their pumps, starter and even the flexplates can be recertified.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Thanks.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Wow.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Hands down Mezeire zero issues

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Everybody probably does this, but with an electric pump & fans, it is easier to cool your engine down. A four wire connector to your fan & pump relays can be unplugged from the car, and connected to a separate battery. You can cool it back to ambient temp in a fairly short time. Not as fast as a chiller, not as messy either. LOL
Easier to make every run at similar water temps. Easier to dial the car that way. This is a very sharp group, so likely everybody know this.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

I just use a squirrel cage blower up front after each run...moves more air thru the radiator than my mounted electric fan. I activate the electric pump every 5-10 minutes to swap the cooled water with the hot block water after each pass...seems to be more effective than constant circulation.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Rich, I still have my carpet/floor drying squirrel cage fan. Never got as cool, as fast as the cool-down battery deal. Got the idea from my long time friend Mike Edwards, cooling his car that way. I use a digital temp gauge in the car (reads more exact & lower than analog gauges), and power it off that connector so it shows the temp with the car batteries shut off while charging them. I learned the hard/expensive way to not turn the ignition switch on while charging my 16 volt car batteries. Hard to find 16 volt chargers that don't put out excessive AC voltage. I threw away two due to that. One showed 19 volts D.C., and nearly 30 volts AC. Killled two MSD boxes and a FAST ECU with that damn thing. Next charger was OK for a while, then started putting out excessive AC.
No need to turn the car on like I'm doing it now. No more failing to start for the next run.
Carbureted cars still have ignition boxes to care for. MSD fixed (replaced) mine. I still carry spares just in case. Just glance inside the car to check temp while cooling down.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

Ran Meziere for about 15 years before the motor failed. They rebuilt it and it cost less than a new one. They are AOK. with me

Re: Electric water pump???
 

I cool mine the same way Ed. works great and the car battery charges back to full charge much faster

Re: Electric water pump???
 

My car is old school. I have the moroso electric drive motor with the cog belt and an aluminum water pump. I like to be able to see the pump running. The one I have is at least 20 years old and still going strong.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

I used one of those on my '69 Camaro C/SM car when they first came out, late '70s. Worked fine. I now just pull my radiator cap if I wonder if my pump is pumping. Crossflow radiator, you can see it moving easily. I can feel it running if I put my hand on the motor.

Re: Electric water pump???
 

I have used the same setup on my bracket cars for over 30 years. Had a few electric motors wear out over the years, but since they are just a Ford heater fan motor, cheap and easy to replace. Bonus is the factory alternator brackets fit the stock type water pump as is.
