We did but our car is a full time drag car now. Before we still had the fans hooked up manually.Never had to turn it on even in drive up fast food joints on hot summer days. Was nice to know it was there if needed

If i can do it anyone can. The link i got my info from is down and has been for awhile we bought the mez. Only pain i had was getting the drive out of the cast pump A high quality punch and a Heavy hammer works well

Thank you all. I will then be looking into swapping into an electric piece in the next few weeks. And any additional hp that it contributes, I'll take. Thanks again fellas'.

where's the cheapest price for these pumps online? Summitracing.com or something else?? Time for a GP you guys have finally convinced me to jump ship now with that wiring diagram for the failure LED, I can't justify not doing this any more....

I have had a Meziere for about 5 months. No trouble with me. Stays cooler at the track, temps are nice while cruising as well. Mine turns on when the key goes on and off.

When you install an electric pump, all you're doing is removing the cover, removing the impeller, and bolting the new motor and impeller into the stock housing. The coolant temp gauge doesn't move.
