water pump drive vs electric pump

goinbroke2 · 03-03-2024, 02:30 PM

I need a new water pump drive, already got a brand new shorty aluminum pump and went to order the moroso kit..$177.00US???? WTH?? Used to be $79.00 last I looked, now close to $300Can for an electric motor and cogged belt?? Really??

I looked at SBF electric water pumps and they are $150.00 for the cheap and $600 for mezier or whoever.

This thing only has 200hp or so, so the stock pump with kit will work, but what would people recommend?

Is the no name electric water pump at Jegs or Summit any good? Or is there another drive kit available? I even tried to get the pulleys and belt seperately and can't.

{{{{{{{Biggest question is, electric water pump or stock pump with electric drive?}}}}}}}}

All you need is the drive motor which is a blower motor and it’s available at any decent auto parts store. You just need the part number which I no longer have.

I would go electric pump, less to go wrong, no belt. And cleaner install.

The belt drive on a stock pump will get you around 5-10 GPM. Even the cheap electric pump will flow more like 20-35 GPM. But at 200hp the belt drive will likely work fine. The higher flowing pump would help you cool down between rounds faster.

Easy for me to spend your money but I would go with the Meziere pump.

If you have one of the 12v motor belt driven pump set ups and want a better motor that will turn a couple hundred rpm more my company sells these that we use in our centrifuges. They are way better than the smaller 12v motors used in the kit. We do have those also but they would cost more from us I would expect. Here is the better one we sell.
