i would say the main part...we will see how well it works

 

I can't wait to see some results! Nice work

 

was hoping to fire the car today...but Im gona have to do it early next week...there is a chance i could get it done

 

You got the pump all wired up? You plan on doing a write up?

 

still need to wire it up.
i need to finish the rear tube shouldnt take long..
i got to finish an engine today so i may wait on the cobalt...
but the car is close

 

How so? I'm just curious, haven't tried to do this personally but I know of a local car that had done it several years back and never had any issues.

 

i just cut the pipe between the bungs and welded a flat pice of aluminum in

 

up date....

 

so Im gona need another fitting the hose dosnt bend like i thought..
wire the pump and retime the engine..

 

Ok so that pic was before the cut, was trying to figure out how you got it to hold in there with no marks on the outside

 

just out of curiosity if this electric water pump setup works well on my car would any one like to buy a setup i could put together another kit...
i definitely wil definitely be trying to find weak links and to make sure this pump can move enough water to cool a hot engine.

my car is putting down a lil over 300 hp with out nos.

 

I put out that much whp and have zero issues with cooling, so for sure I am interested in your project, but I would not do that to my car. I have other things to spend mod money on lol
good luck.

 

i had no cooling issues before the balance shaft chain problem...
the hole idea here is to take that chain completely off...Im hoping to see a few more ponies free up...i can't wait to see how quickly it reves with all that off the engine.

 

ok it is all plumbed..just have to wire it up tomorrow..wont take long i hope..
i have the intake cam lined up just need to line the exhaust up..

hoping to fire it tomorrow night

Taking the car for a test drive now!!!!

 

Interesting

But im with John. Stock cooling system is effective. My balance shafts are stock for this reason

 

this has nothing to do with the stock cooling system no working well...it dose work very well..Im putting a electric pump on it to totaly get the water pump and balance shafts off the engine and free up hp...

 

ok just took the car for a drive and the highest the temp got to was 185 on pull from a dig to red line in 4th gear.
as soon as i got off the gass the temp began to drop back to 180 quickly..
i did notice wen sitting at a stop light the temp went up to 195. the fans kicked on and the temp fell back to 180 in seconds..

 

Interesting. So is the pump on a switch or on the ignition?

 

yes as of now for testing..
it is wired key on pump on..
i ordered a kit that i will wire so that the pump comes on at 185 and dosnt shut off till the engine gets to 160 after the engine is shut off...so the water will continue to cycle.

 

I see a new head in your future if you have the pump come on at 185 because without water flowing past the temperature sensor some parts of the engine will get way over 185 before you ever see a jump at the sensor. You may be to get it to work if the sensor is close enough to the hottest part of the engine and you have it come on at a much lower temp but I see no advantage in delaying it since the thermostat prevent fluid from going to the rad until its up to temp. Why not have it come on at startup like stock and control temp with the thermostat?
It It will work for a shut off because the water will be flowing until it gets down to 160.

 

the tstat will control engine temp, let the pump run KEO

 

not to be a dick but ive already thought it all out...
