I think Zack mentioned using the Cobra water pump...anyone remember the details?
I have 2 years on mine... no problems.
i have an electric pump for over 3 years - no problems
I have 2 years on mine... no problems.
7 years on the mach1, no problems. Then again, it hardly ever moved in the last 4 years or so.
The benefits, beside the hp freed up are these - better cooling in stop and go traffic as it's not based on RPM, it flows constant. This was noticeable in Arizona heat. And if you're so inclined, you can wire switches to turn it and the fans on in the pits at the track to cool down between passes. Also, I see it as an alternative to underdrive pulleys, with the added benefit that you don't have to set the idle higher and the alternator wont struggle to supply the electricity at idle.
Another benefit is at the drags, with an electric cooling fan and elec water pump, you can cool down between runs.
I had mine on for a few years and never had any problems, if you are looking for every pony you can they are worth it. They are a little more involved to install but mine worked very well with no issues.
+5!
I've had mine on since 2005 and had no problems.....except those created by a loose relay = my fault.
Even if you don't notice your temperature gauge, the engine management system will let you know if the Meziere pump has failed.
The computer pulls so much timing from the engine as it gets hot that the car suddenly feels like a dog!....That will force you to scan your gauges while saying "WTF!?"..and see the high temp.
