Just trying to scrounge as much power as I can, and I already have a short belt, and was thinking of going electric water pump.
How much power/drag would I free up?
I know a lot of people are against e w/p for daily use, but I drive at most 15 miles a day so i dont see it being to big of an issue.
Also what brands are better then others? Which have you used and had good results? Which have had bad results?
Are the motors replaceable/rebuildable or do you replace the whole pump/housing when it croaks?
How would you route the belt? Seems like you'd need an idler pulley to run from the crank to the alt. I currently have the a/c compressor on the car, the hoses are shot but everything else in the system worked fine so I really don't want to delete it. But at the same time, this summer with no a/c wasn't all that bad.
Any suggestions?
