If you don't have a proper controller, you might not see any of the benefits an E-pump can bring, in fact you might go backwards.

A pump running enough to cool at WOT right from cold start will only slow warm ups, and with the T-Stat closed, that's a lot of load on the pump/motor/battery/alt.

Etc, etc.

I don't know why people are so insistent on DIY solutions when a Davies Craig setup is only a fraction over $200 and comes with a proper controller, warranty and adapters for certain engines.
