SHEPPO Member 3 Member For: 16y 7m 30d Posted 28/01/08 10:46 AM Share Posted 28/01/08 10:46 AM I have worked on several cars with the Davis Craig EWP's fitted.one such car gained 5kw (at the wheels) with the EWP fitted and the belt removed from the OEM water pump, which was still in the standard location. this car is about to get the water pump totally removed and plated off.they are as reliable, if not more so, than the belt that drives the OEM water pump. so to say they're going to fail is a cop out, infact it's more like people skying away from the advances of modern technology. people who dont try them will never know how good they really are!bottom line the EWP by Davis Craig are good units, and I recommend them.

I never had any issues with it and it was a fantastic benefit for that set up, nowadays there are ewp for all types of engines, so do it I reckon!!

You would need to fab up mounting brackets/etc to install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
