the pump I plan to use will draw 6amps stock. I plan to cut that in half since its designed to cool a racing V8 sized engine.
but its rated for a continuous duty cycle which is what I need. I plan to cut power to it to "slow it down" quite a bit. once the pump is at the minimum needed speed the pump stops actually "doing" anything more. your thermostat takes over at that point opening and closing as needed.
what I would LOVE is to have a "clutch" on the main drive pulley so I can just push a button to "stop" the alternator and water pump all together without having to remove them. THAT would be ideal. then just push a button to re engage them. I could even make it automatic. every time I start the engine engage the clutch for say 60 second then turn it off. this way keeps things lubed and rust free etc..
