The Davies Craig Electric Water Pump is a versatile and convenience piece of kit that can be utilised within your engine in a number of ways.

When used as an auxiliary to your engine’s standard issue mechanical water pump, a Davies Craig Electric Water Pump will increase the flow of coolant through your engine, particularly when operating under high stress conditions or elevated temperatures.

What a lot of our customers in your situation have done with great success is add the EWP® (part no 8005 or 8030) into the lower radiator hose, wired direct to the battery via an on/off thermal switch (part no 0401) and use the EWP® as an auxiliary pump, while retaining the existing mechanical belt driven pump.

The EWP® is designed for maximum efficiency at its maximum speed of 2250 rpm. Being in nylon, the impeller can have aerofoil cross section with associated lift, and the tip clearances can be very small.

Research and Development. They’re three words that are barely a blip on the radar when it comes to consumers and products. Davies Craig has plenty of experience in this field because its staff is committed to constant improvement.

Along with our EWP® kits, Davies Craig have electric fans and electric booster pumps. The fans are designed to replace a car’s mechanically driven setup and can be used in conjunction with the EWP®s and their controllers.

The classic car movement is a strong force in the automotive world. ’57 Chevys, 1970 GT-HOs, E-Type Jags, for example, populate forums and car shows. Every now and then though, a hidden gem pops up, and it’s a sure bet the owner goes to great lengths to make it both look good and help it keep its cool.

Cooling has improved, with water being replaced by specifically formulated coolants and made to work with iron and alloys and moving that coolant has been the subject of research over the last two decades by Davies Craig.

As a world leader in their field, Davies Craig understands that sometimes a return to basics is what’s needed. And so, it’s with our new seven step series of articles on the installation of our Electric Water Pumps (EWP®), their associated equipment.

Drifting has proven to be a fantastic testing ground for Davies Craig products, and Swedish drift driver Andreas Forsberg knows the value of using premium cooling products.

Since the beginning of the time mankind used a mechanical internal combustion engine fueled by petrol/gasoline, a method of cooling the engine device that moved the horseless carriage around was needed.

Life sometimes gives us questions to ponder. Why is the sky blue, are The Rolling Stones a better band than The Beatles, should I have pineapple on a pizza, and what is an Electric Water Pump (EWP®)?

There are times when running one Davies Craig Electric Water Pump just doesn’t quite cut it. These rare instances could be in really high stress situations, like a turbo four cylinder running some big rev numbers during a drift battle, where one EWP’s maximum flow needs to be higher

Motorsport has proven to be a fantastic proving ground for mechanical components in cars. Not unexpectedly it puts a lot of stress and pressure on areas such as the transmission, the driveline that puts power down to the ground via the wheels. But what about cooling?

Performance cars, normal cars, cars towing caravans, and hot rods all have one thing in common. Well, two, actually. One is that they’re designed to produce and deal with some impressive numbers in speed, horsepower, and fuel consumption. The second is that they all need some serious cooling.
