...for the '78 99T. It's going in later this month to replace the crazy idler shaft setup in the B-engine. The advantage to the electric pump is supposed to be that it frees up engine torque so theoretically you gain more engine power. Davies-Craig claims 20 hp gain but I'm estimating closer to 10 in the 2-liter engine. Of course, "there is no such thing as a free lunch" the energy for the pump has to come from somewhere. In the electric pump's case, energy comes from the battery/alternator instead of directly from the engine. But since the microprocessor in the EWP control unit only spins up the pump when it is needed, not as much energy is used to push coolant through the block as would be used with a mechanical pump, so a power gain is realized. Neat system.
I'll post a report when I have it running. The pump appears to very well made and has 3-year warranty.
