What Are The Benefits Of An Davies, Craig Electric Water Pump (EWP)

One of the best reasons to upgrade your car’s cooling system with a remote-mounted EWP® or Electric Water Pump is having the original mechanical pump fail. Given the original design hasn’t really changed for decades, and the design itself was simple to begin with, what can go wrong?

Car engines come in many sizes and have done size the first rolled off the construction line. One can head into a car showroom and be greeted with engines smaller than a bottle of soft drink, the size of a family aimed milk bottle, or bigger.

Chevrolet’s small block V8 engines are known for their strength and durability. But like anything mechanical, Small Block Chev overheating issues can occur and it can sometimes be a matter of following a path from a to z to identify the cause of SBC overheating problems. The most easily recognised indicator? Keep an eye on the car’s temperature gauge.

What Is a Mini Cooper? Travel back to the early 1960s and the Mini has quickly become a cult car. Designed by Sir Alex Issigonis, it became famous for its ‘bigger on the inside than it looks’ space, its funky good looks, and in Cooper Works specification, a lot of muscle for a small four cylinder engine car.

The Davies Craig Electric Water Pump is a versatile and convenience piece of kit that can be utilised within your engine in a number of ways.

What a lot of our customers in your situation have done with great success is add the EWP® (part no 8005 or 8030) into the lower radiator hose, wired direct to the battery via an on/off thermal switch (part no 0401) and use the EWP® as an auxiliary pump, while retaining the existing mechanical belt driven pump.

The EWP® is designed for maximum efficiency at its maximum speed of 2250 rpm. Being in nylon, the impeller can have aerofoil cross section with associated lift, and the tip clearances can be very small.

Cooling has improved, with water being replaced by specifically formulated coolants and made to work with iron and alloys and moving that coolant has been the subject of research over the last two decades by Davies Craig.

Motorsport has proven to be a fantastic proving ground for mechanical components in cars. Not unexpectedly it puts a lot of stress and pressure on areas such as the transmission, the driveline that puts power down to the ground via the wheels. But what about cooling?
