Subject: RE:Best way to flush coolant system? by CentralCoaster on 2008/1/10 20:35:29 I did not mean to say the electric pump is more efficient, it's probably not. But you gain HP because the electric pump is turning slower than the mechanical pump would be. Higher flow doesn't get you as much extra cooling as you'd think. You get to a point of diminishing returns. The mechanical pump is a compromise to try and cool at idle and high rpms. And of course belt driven pumps have the issue of side loading the shaft and bearings. Personally, I hate electrical shit. It leaves you stranded without warning, and usually can't be inspected. Fuel pump is a perfect example. |
