Finally! Some movement towards my issues...I/C Pump!

[tbrock]

A quick update on my test of the Jabsco pump. I had a small 1/2 inch barbed connector so I was afraid that the pump was being choked down and not performing correctly. Today I went and got the correct 3/4 inch connectors and tested the Jabsco again. It improved the flow slightly but still not at the same level as the two Bosch pumps in series.

Instead of running two pumps, why not run a 2013 GT500 pump? Its flows a lot more than the standard (stock) Bosch pump.

You could also run a 20 or 50 gpm Meziere.

I have the newest FRP/SVT pump made by Bosch and it is the same as the Stock Saleen pump. Do you have a part number for the 2013 pump. The Lingenfelter test data on a closed system showed that the Meizier ( included a 55gpm pump) and other pumps don't perform so well once all the restrictions of the system are in place. That is what I was trying to show with my test which included the system as I run it on the road. The setup that flowed the best was 2 pumps.

The SVT pump that I thought was the latest and greatest is M8501MSVT and all the numbers on the pump are the same as a used GT500 pump I bought and the same as the Stock Saleen pump which is supposedly the same Bosch pump used on the 03-04 Cobra's?

The part number is DR3Z-8501-A for the 2013 GT500 pump.

Thanks I'm looking for a picture because the 8501 is the same number series for two pumps that I have already. DR3Z is different so I'll keep looking.

The Lingenfelter test data on a closed system showed that the Meizier (included a 55gpm pump) and other pumps don't perform so well when trying to pump through the Saleen, E Force and GM LS IC's.

Fixed it.

 

[tbrock]

Fixed it.

very true!

 

[sportinawoody]

you need my tank also.

 

[AutoXRacer]

What tank is that???

 

[sportinawoody]

mine. it is custom. I have another and it has performed flawlessly

 

[AutoXRacer]

Damn thats nice!! You selling it or something? I see the picture above has your screen name and date. Just wondering. lol

You should market it and sell it. That would clean up the engine back quite nicely.
I would love to get rid of all my reservoirs hanging off my fan housing.

That is a nice tank. I have the Lethal Performance tank that was made for the whipple system. It attaches between the air filter and strut tower. Works great on my Saleen SC'd car running the JLT CAI.

Tank looks nice but doesnt seem optimal for flow.

EDIT: referring to the windshield water reservoir location tank.

maybe you shouldn't make assumptions then because it flows quite nicely and dropped my iat's significantly while still running a cheap ass kenne bell h/e. and by significantly, I'm talking from constant 110 in 95 degree myrtle beach stop light traffic to 95. youdo the math. also , there are a few others running this tank with the same assessment. and I actually have less hoses in the system now. I can give you details if interested.

new GT500 HE and pump.

pictures of my setup for now and coolant flow with 2 bosch tanks.
I did take the recomendation and fill the HE from the bottom "science" as it was clearly stated. Pump primes and pushes air out of system. On the road later today to see what effect changes have on AIT's.

 

[sportinawoody]

that is the way i run my system and it gravity feeds the pump. seems to work better at not aerating

I am currently using a KB 2.6L, KB reservoir, Afco dual pass heat exchanger with fans, and Bosch pump. I am rerouting my h/e plumbing to fill the h/e from the bottom, and possibly add another Bosch pump. I will also be adding my VMP GT500-look (3x stock volume) reservoir. In addition, I will be shrouding the 3/4" I.D. rubber lines with this product from DEI.

Due to the inlet location of the tank, I may reverse the flow of the system to make the routing cleaner and more efficient. Does anyone know if you can reverse the flow in a KB intercooler? I've been calling them all day but I keep getting a busy signal.
I am also considering using 2 Bosch pumps, and I'm not sure if it is best to have them close together, or if they should be located on opposite sides of the "loop" See diagrams below.
I appreciate any input about location of 2nd pump and routing plan in general.
