Do you guys use on your Radicals?

The Radical one for the PR6 & SR3's looks like a Bosch jobbie & looks a tad on the small side?

I have experience of the Davies Craig EWP80 on a Busa installation in a Caterham with no issues, but I know some people don't rate those?

My SR3 came with this little jobbie:

No affiliation to the seller. You can probably source them in the UK as well.

Yes, that's the fella Matt.

Am I right in saying that on the Radical drysump cars, they have just the one of those doing all the water pumping dutys?

It says it flows 320 gallon per hour, where as the Davies Craig does upto 1056 gallons per hour, surely thats a better bet?

The one I linked to is the only pump in my car. The **BIG** Davies Craig pump surely flows more. The small one (that Rob linked to) I'm not so sure about. I've heard conflicting reports on the small one ranging from "it's the best thing since sliced bread" to "it's good as a supplementary booster, but no good as the lone water pump."

<shrug>

I've also heard the Bosch pump I linked to is unreliable. Who knows.

Hi, Anybody fitted on of these to a Clubsport ZZR1100? If so what do you do with the original water pump? remove the internals?
Thanks,

Colin.

i have used the davis craig pump on my sr3 and its bloody good, make sure you get the big one i think its 80ltrs a min? go for the electronic controler as well it modulates the pump according to temp requirements. its a bit of work to fit but its worth it
