I actually have the pump controlled by the ECU to come on at a certain temp range for traffic when the stock pump is barely flowing at low rpm.
Electric WP and Fans Question

Ok IJ...spill it: Make & model of the pump and where did you get it...lol
Looks like you took a stock rad hose and cut a piece out of the middle...is that correct?

JDub: Davies Craig 110LPH and almost any auto parts store!
Correct just chopped the middle out of a stock hose

And I'm betting an AEM EMS could control the pump like your set-up. What are the parameters on your ECU set-up?
Ok IJ...here's what I'm thinking:
AEM signal power to relay to switch battery power to pump...pump ground to chassis.
Temp wise: Thermostat is at 180; fans come on at 190-200...would switching the pump on at 200 be a good temp or should I use a little higher to account for ECU coolant temp sensor tolerance?
Cadman: Sorry for the jack...but I'm thinking you can use this info too

Jdub: I just watched where mine ran at cruise then gave it an extra 5c.
I spent a bit of time fine tuning on/off's as the Wolf runs everything in my car.

Hey, you didn't jack the thread man, this is great info! It's exactly what I wanted to know! So thanks jdub and IJ!
I talked to my buddy about this as well. He's the one that did most of the wiring and hookup of my fans. He's a mechanic, and is pretty good at figuring things out. I have the ideas and am mechanically inclined as well. So we figured this would be a great idea.
Dual Core radiator would be a great idea, but I think it would be a little over-kill. Since I'm not going to be expecting a huge HP increase, this new stock radiator should work fine.
Oregon City got hot on the way home from work the other day, about 95, and my electric fans were actually kicking back off in stop-and-go traffic. This leads me to believe, with the inline booster pump, I will have pleanty of cooling potential available. Even though I really did want the dual core, I just won't be making enough power to take advantage of it.
Thank you for all the information, if you have any other ideas, this is the place to put them down
