I've used the Whale pumps with custom copper chargecoolers mounted in the plenum on a rv8. Got mine from a caravan place and it was fine. It's got half inch fittings.

I'm saving these for my 7.0 lsx engine. Not sure what they're from or if they are big enough but they are worth a try. They seem to have an impressive pedigree





If anybody over the pond can help with their former use I'd be grateful. Missiles spring to mind.

Mike, you'll be pleased to know they're still in business if you ever need it repaired. Of course, they may wonder how you got it.....

Do you know about these people Harry, please share. As for the rest of it, I just wanted some afterburners

He's right about adding water, I found that adding 10 litres acted as a good heatsink to flatten the temp rise.
