I think I read a while back that Paul uses one. I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

Forget the controller, run the pump flat out and put a switch in the rad for the fan to come on as needed I seriously doubt it! |

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be... So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'... On 26th Oct, 2004 Tom Fenton said:

At the pumping stations i work at just helps keep a steady flow so the pumps not banging in and out, which shouldnt be an issue in a car. |

The pump just needs to keep the water circulating and the fan regulates the temperature since you dont use a thermostat. Try a controller if you want to but I guarantee you will have it flat out
I seriously doubt it! |

So you run it @ 80 l/min. That sound like an avfull lot. Have you tried a little less ? It shouldn´t be nessesary to have that much water pumping to keep you engine cool. "I seriously doubt it" On 8th Apr, 2013 paul wiginton said:

Look 'doubter' Im not going to justify myself to you, Im trying to give the benefit of experience of a few of us who run an electric pump. Believe me or dont, I dont give a fuck, have you tried it?

No, Im not gonna steady on. Im sick of coming up with an idea, researching it, building it, making it work then giving someone the benefit of all that and someone else who has never even tried it comes along and refutes it.
I seriously doubt it! |

Well said Paul. There must be something in the water these days. It pisses me off when people ask for help or option and then question your advise. If you don't like what you hear you don't need to throw it back in someone's face. I have now got to the point were I just tell people to fuckoff or if at work I put the phone down |

I havent questioned anybodies advise, tbh i cant see the point now running the controller as essentially all it does is gets the engine upto temp quicker. |

TBH straight talking is the reason I stay here. It truly is a forum that tells you if something works from experience.
I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.

The mini world forums is full of advice that is bull and as a novice its hard to tell whats good and whats not. I never thought I would build and engine and I doubt without TM I would have tried. I second that, some of the crap i here coming of some people on forums makes me cringe, usually posted by kids in there bedrooms, who have no experience, and havent actually done what theyre telling people to do |

Ive used Minispares Super 2 core and Radtec aluminium with electric pump. Dont bother with aluminium rad, its no lighter once full of coolant and no more efficient. I havent driven it much recently but I used to drive it spiritedly round Milton Keynes for a couple of hours at a time I seriously doubt it! |
