Any other suggestions for where to buy this Davies Craig 150 EWP kit at for the price, other than Ebay? Three items 8060, 8000, 8650. If you add the 8060 and 8000 together it is the 8870. So yes 8870 plus 8650. Or 8650 plus 8000 plus 8060.
I noticed it appears like there are two different type of controllers. One a LCD, and one not?

I don't know anything about this pump but I run a Stewart EMP http://www.stewartcomponents.com/index.php...p;product_id=70
It's whisper quiet and mounts inline with the hose so mounting is super easy. I got mine from Summit Racing.

Yes the early controllers didnt have a digital display, and they still sell it. Obviously the lcd display is the more refined newer one.

Thats pretty cool Mike! I like the inline feature. Do they offer a programmable controller?

Anyone find a controller other than the Davies Craig?


For the SBC I am just running the Dedenbear pump and manifold.

This is second hand knowledge since I've never used one but I have some friends who have had problems with:
1) a circlip on the shaft between motor and impeller twisting and jamming the pump
2) shaft seal on motor failing and leaking water out of the case
3) the impeller binding (note that I've heard they really do not like to run dry and tend to bind when this happens)

Then there are other people who swear by them so maybe their quality control is just a little suspect. Everything mentioned about was from experiences in the 2008-9 time frame so they might be improved now. Also, make sure you do not hard-mount them by the snouts.

This must have been with the plastic casing. Based on what ive read they improved things in the aluminum casing model.
I did notice that the plastic blades were rubbing internallly with the casing, took some 200 grit and shaved off the slightest amount and now it seems like it will be perfect. I suspect it would have clearanced itself over time.
