The Davies Craig EWP140 Alloy Electric Water Pump & LCD Digital Controller Combo Kit (Part #8980 / DC-8980) delivers ultimate thermal management for high-performance 6-cylinder, V8, turbocharged, and heavy-duty 4WD engines. Delivering a massive 147 Litres/min (38.8 GPM) of coolant flow, this lightweight alloy pump frees up parasitic engine drag—releasing up to 10kW (13hp) of extra power while dramatically improving cooling efficiency.
Why Upgrade to the EWP140 Digital Combo?
- Unmatched 147 L/min Flow Rate: Engineered to handle high-heat environments and heavily modified or forced-induction engines.
- Intelligent LCD Thermal Management: Continuously monitors coolant temperatures and modulates pump speed to maintain your ideal set target.
- Automatic Fan Control: Automatically engages your electric radiator cooling fan if engine temps rise +3°C above your target set point.
- Post-Ignition Heat-Soak Protection: Keeps the coolant circulating and fans running after hot engine shutdown to prevent heat soak damage.
- Rugged Powder-Coated Alloy Housing: Durable, lightweight aluminum body built for demanding street, motorsport, and off-road applications.
- Frees Up Engine Horsepower: Eliminates belt-driven mechanical water pump resistance, saving fuel and boosting wheel horsepower.

Fitting & Installation Tip
The EWP140 is a recirculating centrifugal pump designed for closed automotive cooling loops. It is not self-priming and must be mounted in an orientation that allows gravity feed from the radiator outlet. Can be fitted as a standalone primary pump or inline auxiliary booster.
