Booster coolant pump

Anyone used an electric booster pump in conjunction with the mechanical pump for improved cooling, if so what have you used and how is it configured (always on, pwm controller)? Thanks, Julian Anyone used an electric booster pump in conjunction with the mechanical pump for improved cooling, if so what have you used and how is it configured (always on, pwm controller)?

Hi Julian, I have been using a Stewart Inline Electric Water Pump for years. It is installed at the front of the car at the output of the radiator. It is ON 100% of the time. It dropped my water temps by 10 degrees when I was running my Cleveland.

Julian To answer your question, no I haven't. But curious if this is an exercise in re-engineering for its own sake, or what the problem is? On Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 5:04 PM, Julian Kift <julian_kift@hotmail.com> wrote:

Charlie, I put a few miles on the GT40 during Hot August Nights and it is fine once moving at speed but getting hot in slow traffic. I also need to add A/C to it as it is akin to driving around in a sauna in the NV summer heat. The only real estate for the A/C condenser is up front so I expect that to further impact engine cooling. It would be quite easy to add an inline booster pump in the front behind the radiator. I did similar with my prior GT40, although that was converted to purely an electric pump (Meziere) and I eliminated the mechanical, so wondered about the dual setup. David Nunn sealed it for me when he said that the Stewart Warner is flow through design, that's exactly what I need and it seems others have managed or reduced cooling temps with a booster setup.
