They looked like street cars before the baby Hot Rod front ends, but really any of these cars could be driven around if you just wanted to roll the strip for some car show hoez

I usually wire them to the AEM and let it turn the pump on and off or else it gets too cold,on a allmotor car.

Turning it on and off by temp is a no no. It causes hot spots in the head. A thermostat should be used to regulate temp.

At the end of the day it doesnt matter what the rules are, some will go fast and the others will always complain about why they are not going fast.

You should restrict the flow if it is running the car to cool and regulate the fan by temp.

I don't argue that point at all, but the NRG Tech car just as pictured, was NOPI turbo street class legal since 2003. You guys are just now catching up to the rules.
I also always asked what made the car less street legal by adding a electric water pump or an external wetsump oil pump, but the only response was, "it's not street", or "I can't afford that".

I think your car is badass! I hope you don't think I'm picking on you.

I dont cycle it at the temp I want the car to run at. I turn it on at 160 and off at say 140. Ill cycle the fan at 180

Yeah, according to Meziere, that's bad. The water pump should run any time the engine is running. When the pump is off, your sensor might read 140, but there will be much hotter spots in the head if it's not cycling water.

You can mount it anywhere you can fit it. Put it in the fender or under the bumper.

I'm pretty sure in another thread he mentioned that his frontend was 3.25" off the ground

Tony: I may have missed it, but have you had a chance to take the car to the track yet? It obviously works, but i was just curious as to how much of a difference it made at the track (unless thats what you were originally talking about)

I think the first company that had an electric water pump setup for a B-series was AEBS Racing. Its pretty much the same as what GE is offering or Meziere. I believe that AEBS worked with Meziere back in the late 90's or 2000's to develop the kit Meziere sells now. The first time I saw it used was on the AEBS All-Motor CRX.

Its no longer listed as item on the AEBS website as an item but it does talk about custom setups
