70 Nova - Turbo ls, under trunk mounted radiator opinions wanted
#25
Im dragging this back up because I am about to do this on my 72 Nova. What have been your results? Did the stock pump work? I am using a traditional small block twin turboed and am out of room under the hood that is why I want to make the move.

I just started a conversation with Stewart components about stock pump vs their best electric pump in this situation...His response
"The electric pump can produce 55 gpm up to 4 psi your mechanical water pump can produce 150gpm at 6,000 rpm and 40 psi.
Electric water pumps cannot produce the flow and pressure that a mechanical wp can produce, that is why we use the electric wp as a booster pump at low rpm. The mechanical wp at the 1,000 rpm is only producing 10-15 gpm.
Everything depend on rpm.
Thanks"
