PRI 2012: Davies Craig Goes Electric With New Water Pump for SBC/BBC

Branching out from their popular thermodynamic electric cooling fans, Davies Craig is introducing a new line of electric water pumps to the global market.

“We’re pretty proud of these water pumps,” says John Benson. “They offer a considerable weight savings for the big-block Chevy and small-block Chevy engines.”

Considerable is a difficult number to define so Benson laid down the numbers. “The stock mechanical pumps weight about 16-pounds. Our EWP-150 weighs 2-pounds. That’s a considerable amount of weight to drop off and gain 15-horsepower at the same time.”

Benson says that Davies Craig electric water pumps are currently available for the small- and big-block engine platforms now, “We will have electric water pumps for LS and Ford engines in a couple of months.” 

In addition to the new electric water pumps, Davies Craig also offers an EWP header adapter kit which allows the electric water pump to be relocated to a lower place in the engine bay. Having the water pump mounted in the lower radiator water hose helps with engine cooling and helps get the weight down lower.

In a nutshell, Davies Craig’s EWP150 Electric Water Pump is a universal, do-it-yourself, easy to install water pump designed to replace or compliment existing belt-driven mechanical water pumps. Features include removing parasitic power losses of a belt-driven water pump to free up extra power and torque. The pump’s design also provides increased cooling capacity by eliminating heat soak and providing better engine temperature control.
