Interesting, never given the pump too much thought before, on
track my temps are always good, on a dyno it's another matter.
I would have first thought an electric pump might be the way to
go for more efficiency, Tony has gone that route I believe?

Rob - pretty tight in there on the 1.8t for anything 'other' the
block is machined of impeller from memory?
The 16v is I guess do able...
Saw a water pump from a Ferrari the last day, impeller machined
from billet :o
Ditto on the electric 'Craig David' pump ;D for ultimate
control.
Brian,

Some late BMW's use an electric Pierburg made water
pump...controlled via the std ecu...we were trying to get a
wiring diagram for it.

Are you struggling to keep temps down Rob?

Water temps no, oil temps yes. Cooling is always welcome, less
high drag radiator intakes needed, more speed!

my issue is lack of space for a big rad , and small bumper
openings!
Any thoughts on getting heat out of the 'bay?

I don't know if this applies to you, you may have already done
it. I found getting air through the rad was very important for
temps, this summer I sealed my rad by adding sheet alu on the
sides and the top of my rad which met tightly up to the profile
of the grill/bumper etc this ensured air coming in could only go
through the rad and not around or over it - which is often a
less restrictive path.
Now I have had it on the sides for years but I added a top peice
and my water temps dropped by a good few degrees. (something
like 6 degrees I think).

I only have a half height rad, but with ducting like tom says it
seems fine - nice quality WRC-spec core though from Radtec
The ideal solution is to have an air outlet duct on the back of
the rad but we just dont have space for it. Have considered a
couple rows of bonnet louvers above the back rad area - that
might be a good move.....

I need to add some ducting around mine, as I have the oil
cooler, then a Rallye intercooler and then my radiator. Even
though it's a Corrado VR6 one, it struggles when the
temperatures get above 30 Celsius.
