Default Good/reasonable electric water pumps?
Are the any good and reasonable elec. water pumps out there. Looking for people with hands on exp. Pumbing/wiring simplicity (clean looks) very important. THanks!

Define reasonable...the only good EWP I'm currently aware of is the Meziere - you'll need the street version if your car does anything other than live its life a quarter mile at a time. Expect to pay $600+.

If it's not a drag car, don't waste the money. Like mentioned above, the meziere HD is a good electric pump but it runs $625-650.

Its not a drag car but Im running a 8-71 roots and there is not enough clearance for the water pump. The drive belt gets in the way.

The street version of the Meziere EWP takes up even more room than the stock pump depth-wise. It retains the stock belt routing, but the idler pulley that covers the electric pump is rather large.
