Hi Mark,
The electric pumps I've seen were only intended for drag racing
applications. An electric motor that could duplicate the power transferred
through the belt, at 100% duty cycle, at about 200 degrees F ambient
temperature, and last for 20,000 miles or more, would be pretty big...
So far as horsepower gain with the electric, that would only happen if the
electric motor had more efficiency than the belt-drive it replaces, also
taking into account the alternator efficiency. The electric power has to
come from somewhere.
Best regards,
Theo
