Can someone point me towards a comprehensive article on fitting an EWP in a Sprint (search only shows EWP in passing)?
If not, any suggestion as to a good location for the EWP?
There have been two articles in Dolly Mixture over the years but neither are satisfactory installations.
A water pump needs to be mounted as low as possible (to give a good head of coolant from the radiator),
which means on a slant four Dolomite behind the alternator (as shown in the photo earlier in the thread).
It is necessary to fit a remote thermostat, which involves quite a lot of plumbing.
Also, it is very advisable to fit a proper header tank with its outlet plumbed into the bottom hose BEFORE the EWP.
You'll need an electric cooling fan.
Obviously a lot of wiring is necessary fitting relays, switches, etc.
An EMP Stewart pump has a proper mounting flange onto which an adapter bracket can be attached.
These pumps are 200 litres/minute and are rated at 10,000 hours.
You can buy these via Ebay from Summit Racing in the USA.
