I have had the electric water pump in since October last year. I find it is much better than the standard belt driven pump, the engine warms up much quicker, at traffic lights and in traffic I have no overheating problems.
On the freeway sitting on 120 kph the pump cycles down and maintains better engine temperatures than previously.
The only problem I have had with the electric water pump has been on the track. With the V12 sitting on 7,000 revs in second and third gear, engine gets hot. Can't entirely blame pump, I am going to change to a better radiator, and if still have problem, will use a second electric water pump for track work.
For all other uses, I find the pump pretty good, city use, and long trips, just back from a 2,500 klm trip Sydney to Adelaide, everything worked beautifully.
