As you can see below, they offer significant flow over the OEM or N1 pumps. One thing that does concern me is the amount of blades. At higher RPM they might end up being a restriction as the general consensus is that you reduce the amount of blades at higher RPM to leave room for flow. 

Having 8 blades would help flow at lower RPM for example idle RPMs. 

It has the back plate design that is mean to stop cavitation too. 

Has anyone used these and can give some feedback? Thanks in advance.

Firstly, no I have no direct experience with these water pumps.

Having said that for track/race use with sustained RPM, I would never be looking for more blades and more flow. Consider a street car probably has 1500rpm average and a race car 5000rpm+ average

I run the N1 pump with greddy oversize pulley and water temps are good, even on long runs on hot days.

I want to go electric on the race car, but I want to beef up the BNR34 with something a bit better. It's just a streeter with 550-600awhp. I don't boost it that much at all. 

Up here in the tropics it gets very hot and it's a struggle to keep it under control. 

Figured a larger pump and some better fans should help the situation. 

I've got a larger PWR core and it is no better than the stock rad. Pretty disapointed in it. 

Seems to be an airflow issue though. At 100kmph I can see temps as low as 7x degrees, even lower in winter. (Thermostat is a low temp nismo). But at idle, they get up there. 

Tried the stock fan, a GKtech fan, and a Spal3000. The spal 3000 is the only way to keep it under control.

Yeah an at idle problem might benefit from more water flow, but as you mentioned fan airflow is the place to start followed by radiator volume and radiator air flow (shroud on fan and sealing air leakage around the rad)

Interesting, with my PWR core I could do 10 hot laps at Wakefield at the water temp wouldn't move (mind you I was runing a 25 row oil cooler).

With a Chyna eBay one, 5 hot laps and water would go over 100 - however different use case as the car wasn't idling in traffic.

I looked at those for my build but didnt steered away. I figured that irrespective how much a wp flows, it really depends on how effecient the radiator/shroud combo is.

Not to derail the topic, but I personally ran the GKTech fan in my rb30, and it was utter SHIT. Swapped it with the stock clutch fan and all my water temp issues went away.

Jono, why not run an EWP and PWM :) 

Get exactly the cooling you require. Then you could even just delete the thermostat!

Electric water pumps still call for a thermostat don't they? I remember reading in the SAE journal papers on the 2ZR-FXE about their implementation of the EWP and that engine still has a thermostat and all that fun stuff.

haha yeah I have learned this one. 

I still have the stock shroud and stock fan. It gets very hot and humid up here in the north. 

Got an air plate between the grille and the top of the rad support?

Got sealing around the edges and bottoms of the rad and intercooler? Effort put into forcing all the air to go through those cores instead of allowing paths around them can be very well spent. Seal up the gaps to the undertray, etc etc, down the sides. Just use sticky backed Bunnings foam for a first pass test to see if you gain anything and if it's worth putting more effort in with sheet metal. I've just used corflute for some of this. Cheap, light, painted black you'd not know that it wasn't factory plastic.

Hey mate! 

I sure do already. Foam etc. Plate on the top of the rad support etc. 

Do you think this tropics up here is partially to blame? 30+ degree heat and 90% humidty some days. It's so shit.

Not really. Humidity doesn't really enter into the equation for a car. The radiator works about the same regardless. Humidity is really only an issue when you use evaporative cooling (ie, your sweat).

30+ is not hot. Summer down here is 35-45. In 35° heat my car is fine. It's typically fine in 40° heat - although the oil temperature is certainly rising by the end of a 40 minute drive home after work. 45°C is also fine, just the oil gets hot earlier. All of this is with AC on (OK, well, except for the 35° case, because who needs AC at that temperature?). But I'll happily drive with the window down at 45° with no AC, and the car will keep going forever like that.

If you're suffering at 30ish, try it without the AC. I'm assuming you're using AC because it's humid and you don't want to be sticky. Just try it, see what the car shows.

Also, what is the state of the fan clutch? Does it lock up reasonably when it's hot, or does it continue to spin quite freely? If it's pretty loose, that could be your culprit. They usually fail towards lockup rather than sloppy, but anything is possible.

Hey mate, anwers to your questions and suggestions. 

What makes me think it is an airflow issue is that when I turn the AC off but force the fan on it helps. 

The clutch is brand new and it's locking up quite well. Definitely no issue there.

That has been the common theme with the gk tech fans,

Yep, all junk

A few Silvias I tuned had overheating issues, popped the OEM fan back on and guess what? Went away!

You could stick the AC fan on a switch, and flick it on when in traffic etc. I've upgraded my AC fan to something bigger, and I have it come with the AC as well as when ECT goes over 96(Only in crawling traffic)

Or wire it to an ECU output and trigger it when it hits a particular temp.

A bit more elegant than flicking a switch

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
