Hmmm, sounds dangerous to me.

I'm all for electric pumps, you can keep them running for a minute after your engine shuts down which would be good for your engine.

But this one is installed in the radiator hoses. This means that when your engine is cold and your thermostat is closed the pump is just pushing against the thermostat and no fluids are circulating. Worse yet, assuming you removed the stock waterpump (what good is having 2?) there is no fluid circulating inside of the engine resulting in the thermostat heating up much more slower.

One really good way to ruin your engine.

Shame though, cause like I said, I'm all in for electric pumps, but you need something that you mount as a replacement of your stock pump at the place you stock pump is mounted!

Ehm Mux....you're forgetting the fact that Kristian doesnt use a thermostat in his hachi. Even if he did, he would have to use a FWD remote mounted one because the thermostat sits in the waterpump housing on a hachi.

[Mux213]

Ivan,

Very true, since kristian removed his thermostat there should be no reason not to use this setup. But for other hachi owners on this board they have to realize that with a thermostat and no stock waterpomp but one installed in the radiator lines they really run the risk of hurting their engine when cold.

Still for everyone to remove there thermostat just to run an electric waterpump.........

It's very nice, Kristian!

Is it becuse you don't have a termostat that you can rev it to 9200rpm?

Lol?

[Ivan141]

Thermostats have nothing to do with rpm limits fabi...just thought I'd give you a better answer than lol.
