Hp loss to water pump?

Re: Hp loss to water pump? (CorradoFANATIC)

somebody read my post in the $4k topic. its not worth it unless you are building the most power hungry motor out there. because if you mess up say good bye to that expensive setup. I'd say 5-6hp

5-6 hp?
What are your guesses on AC and PS?

Re: Hp loss to water pump? (OttawaG60)

ac not much when it isn't on ps may be the 6hp

PS deffinately robs power enough to notice in my winter beater haha

Re: Hp loss to water pump? (CorradoFANATIC)

typically on a 200hp motor (approx) switching to underdrive pulleys will give back 4-10 hp. So it's reasonable to say that you are gaining 2-3 hp per accesory, and that this is at best/worst 50 % of what they take to run. So by this bubble gun scenario your water punp takes 4-6 hp to work..... but it all boils down to the quality of your flux capacitor.
