That is just my electric pump running at 14 volts on my twin turbo diesel. I use a Meziere 55gpm electric water pump made to cool big block chevy engines.
This water pump cools the big diesel engine and 2 large water cooled turbochargers and does a pretty good job.
A small 4 cylinder car could use a lot less water pump. I wouldn't be surprised if a 30 to 50 watt pump was more than enough.
