I have seen guys claim test results, even dynos, that show their electric water pump set ups save anywhere from 3-7 hp over the mechanical kind.

EDIT: here is a pump controller which varies speed of pump, controls rad fan, and monitors temp (also has alarms). The full kit with this unit is about $450!

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
