Others have experienced no rise in coolant temps (also responses in this thread). And there have been new threads here on LS1Tech asking about raised coolant temps while highway cruising (EWP related of course, because MWP don't do that).
Wait, did you lie in the beginning? You mentioned something about customers reporting higher coolant temps on the highway at low rpm where the internet claims ewp cools better than mechanical. So did you make up some more "facts" or are you incapable of supplying sources for you "facts"

There are more moving parts and more failure points in an lt1's mechanical setup. THIS IS NOT UP FOR DEBATE! The electric setup simplifies the impeller's driving force and removes common failure points on an lt1's stock cooling system. A simple google search will show you these facts, you should be able to find them easily. Even easier, read through this thread at the factual accounts posted by other users about this subject.

Do I really think the electric motor gets its power from no where? Yes, I certainly do. Its a magically being that I pray to at sunrise and sunset. Do you fear turning on your radio, headlights, or lowering your windows? Do you use smoke signals to call the AAA driver from your overheating car?? I know electricity is a scarey god-like force, but it simply works better than what you like to claim. A simple google search will show you this. Try using the small matter under your cranium!

Have you ever road-raced your car? You claim that is your reason for keeping the mwp. I have only seen you post drag racing results. Are you making more "facts" up to "support" your ill-found argument?

Please quote exactly what I said, that'll clarify it for all the lurkers (obviously you won't get it) on why you have no clue what you are saying.

Wrong. Just simply wrong. Let's count.

LT1 MWP stock: 1 impeller on shaft, 3 bearings, 1 coupler, 1 spline drive. Total moving parts for MWP drive on stock LT1 = 6.

LT1 EWP: 1 switch/relay (yep it's a moving part), 1 electric motor (with at least 2 brushes (moving part), 1 armature with impeller mounted on it, and 2 bearings), 1 alternator (with at least 2 brushes, 2 bearings, and an armature with pulley mounted to it), 1 crankshaft pulley, and 1 belt.
Minimum moving parts in an EWP = 14.............

How are them "facts" working out for you?

That was elementary school math bro!

The EWP doesn't simplify the driving "force", it reduces it while also adding complexity and reducing efficiency for the cooling system as a whole. I does remove a couple possible failure points (coupler/weep hole), but adds a few more into to mix at the same time (belt, electric motor, alternator, switch/relay). There are the facts a simple google search and little bit of elementary school reasoning will give you.

I have read through this thread and others about user experiences with EWP's. I haven't discounted a single experience. You however, have done just that.

No I don't. I have no reason to, no extra electrical load on my DC generating system. You, however, may want to consider this as a viable option to be included in your prayers to the magical being you pray to every morning and evening.

It's quite obvious your knowledge on electricity if far less than most other people on here. The EWP works EXACTLY as I have claimed. No exageration in either direction. It is a fact that more than four (read: some) EWP users on this site alone have reported higher operating temperatures at highway speeds, that's ignoring all the other forums. This increase (read: not overheating) in coolant temps IS a direct result of the REDUCED cooling capacity the EWP provides. It is a known fact that the more complex you make an operation, the more likely it is to fail and the less efficient it will be. The electric motor needs it's power from somewhere, that somewhere becomes part of it's operation. Simple; without it, it doesn't work.

Re-read this thread, that has already been addressed. Why would I remove my MWP for an EWP only to go back to MWP later? Especially when a MWP is fine for drag racing? That's just stupid. Why would I put a part in my car that is known to be insufficient for the driving I plan on doing with said car?

solid state relay bitches, no moving parts!

And to argue that the existing OEM stuff is affected in terms of complexity is asinine. I don't have to do a reliability report on stuff that would use the power generated by my systems, I do the reliability report on my systems.

Regardless of if you have a MWP or EWP, your alternator is needed and you will not get far without one.

I am gonna make a 28vDC EWP, should be amazings
