Default Meziere EWP: Thermostat or switch?
Meziere EWP: Thermostat or switch? Does it come with provisions for turning it on, and if so, what are they? Is it activated by a thermostat, or by a switch? Thanks, Shawn

I thought it ran all the time (when the car is on, unless you wire it with a switch for use when the car is off) and a normal manual thermostat controlled the flow?

I've not seen one, but that is the way it was working in my head

pump runs all the time... u drill 2 3/16 holes in the outter edge of the Tstat (not housing obviously) to allow for flow and not put stress on the E- Motor. I ran a Race Version no tstat for a while with no problems. I dont even plan on using the Tstat. U hook it up to a Key On power sourse so when the key is on Ur pump works. U can also put it on a switch also, so u can have the pump running in the stagin lanes without having to turn the the key

if you race at the track...put it on a switch for cool downs inbetween runs (along with fan switch). a daily driver would work great on a 12v source only when the key is on.

I have the race version also.


I am still building the kit car it's going in, my question is how and where can I put the alternator. It’s the only accessory I need to run. Does somebody make a bracket + belt to run just the alt.

How much current does the motor on the pump draw?

what do you have to do to make the race version run in a street car, is it worth saving the money?

I have the race only also. I fought with the altenator for a day or so and then found the solution. The altenator and altenator bracket stays in the stock location. I installed the tensioner pully in the idler pully location located on the altenator bracket. The altenator bracket needs to be modified a little to achieve this which means grind off some of the bracket support in that location. You'll see. You will use only 1 bolt to bolt on the tensioner pully. The tension from the belt will hold the pully in place. The belt size is 37". You will also need to grind off a portion of the lower bolt head so the belt does not rub. That's it. It works great. I'll e-mail you a pic if you are interested. This mod works great.

edit: I put the pic back on my web page for you. Click the link below and look at modified tensioner pully. Good luck.

Tom

My engine was out of a vett, so the alt was mounted up high on the right side. Maybe I'll see if I can locate a used camaro alt braket. thanks for the tip.

LOL

Actually, I just ordered the street version of the EWP so I wouldn't have to fight with anything. For those who have done the install, Which wire did you tap into for ignition on power? Did you use a relay?

Thanks,

Jordan

LS1 STREET PUMP flows more than the race pump...
55gpm vs 35gpm I belive...
Draws more amps too, 11-13 amps...

I took power from the aux +12 battery terminal, at the fuse box area...
Used a relay too, taking the 'trigger' from the fuel pump power wire...

This way whenever the fuel pump is on, the EWP is on...
Did it this way, as I have LS1Edit...
