2J aristo water pump/ hydraulic fan pump - ways around getting rid of it.

[wrench]

Hey all, dont like the aristos water pump setup. I'm not using the original radiator so the hydraulic pump will be of no use. Can i use the aristo water pump and just plug the hydraulic oil side of things off or will it kill the pump not having fluid in it? Or the other idea I had was just say to hell with it all and go with a Davies Craig 80L hour electric water pump. Yes i could fit a supra pump without the hydraulic shit but if i'm going to buy another pump i may aswell go electric i reckon.
This is for a non registered drag car.

Nothing wrong with the hydro setup.....think you maybe been mislead on the workings of them.

I don't want it in my engine bay. Its going to go into a ford falcon. Too late is out and buggered already. Sourcing supra parts already.

[aristoman]

Your choice in the end....More trouble and effort going the alternate option that's all.

Yeah its all sorted, bloke off here has sourced me a pump, housing and perhaps a pulley. I already have the EL falcon twin thermos so i'm sweet.

I used 1JZ soarer water pump and belt for my conversion. and i already had a aftermarket pully set
