Electric water pumps
Turbo Mini Forums

Just thought id put a seperate post up rather than talk in the other one.

I'm looking at these pumps then making a specific adaptor so that i can still use the bypass hose.

Anybody come up with other options?

I'll have it permanently running and still use a thermostat.

do they run at a constant speed regardless of engine rpm?

yep, they certainly do.

i'm sure if you wanted to make a controller it would be possible but i dont think its necessary.

Once you get a price - and have consulted about re-mortgaging, let me know the outcome...

I get a good chunk off the rrp so shouldnt be too bad.

Cant see it being more than £180 like on that other website. We'll see!

Which one do you reckon is man enough? The hoses on the mini are 1" ID arent they? Havent got any to hand.

yep, 1"

There isnt any with 1" connections but some with 3/4" so i guess that will do using adaptors.

I don't know a lot about the mini cooling system but i'm guessing the mechy pumps arent anything like as effcient as the leccy ones.

Would this model suffice?

Wander how much he charges, have mailed him. Theres also some more...

but i doubt they will be less than the £50 on ebay lol

BOSCH list price is £148 for this pump.

which one paul, for the KAD one, or the one I got from ebay?

Team Racing

the KAD one is £188

Sorry been away a while...
£148 is for the bosch one.

just getting a price on one this afternoon see what sort of discount i can wangle

Lets just say that its a lot less than £148

for the bosch pump:

http://www.boschmotorsandcontrols.co.uk/el...20064/index.htm

Which i reckon is well up to the job and should be nice and reliable, i can do them for £99 inc of the postage etc.

So that gives you £90 off the kad kit to make up the adapators.

I'm sure someone would probably be able to get a better trade discount than me as well.

I think i'll be going for one. Just want to be 100% that it will flow well enough before splashing the cash.

have you found out if this flows enough?

That ones got 23mm connections.

Heres a stack load of 'similar' pumps on ebay for a lot less with 19mm connections
