The Great Intercooler Water Pump Test

[CPRsm]

No doubt. A given size flows more w pressure, but pumps always seem to flow almost exponentially better w less head pressure. Sucks it works in opposites lol

I picked up a heat exchanger and innercooler pump from a 2014 GT500. Both pump and exchanger are considerably larger than the 07-12 GT500 parts. I will sent the pump to DOB for some actual test data!

Did DOB ever get the '13 gt500 pump tested?

Nope, it's been elevindy billion deg below zero up here, LOL.

As soon as things warm up to lets say 45 I'll do more testing. It has to be done outside. It takes a TON of water and everything ends up wet.

I think Mike (blownGTvert) mounted his pump already though. I'll need the 13' GT500 pump to test. And I have been pounding Meziere on their new unit but it is still in prototype/testing.

Is that roughly how much your intercoolers cool down the intake temp?

Hah

It's only tendybillion.

Fwiw I did test the pressure drop. But as flow goes up so will the drop. Amped up EMP w 1.25 lines was 5.5psi dropped sustained!! Lol
Much higher than I thought. But flow must be pretty fierce. It make a a circular jacuzzi in the tank between the pick up and return

I'm ready to see the 2013/14 GT 500 pump results. Since I can't have an R Spec I need to now if I can help my poor little Whipple HO setup any....

I will say that Pierburg pump used in the 13/14 GT500 is a huge improvement over the earlier Bosch pumps. With the Bosch pump, flow inside the resivoir was a "ripple". Install the Pierburg pump and flow inside the tank looks like a jaccuzzi. Not the scientific flow data your looking for, but visually there no question the Pierburg flows "a lot" more than the Bosch.

 

[thump_rrr]

The Meziere 55gpm pump only flowed 27gpm through 16' of 1 1/2 hose. No IC, no HE.

Actually NONE of the pumps ran what they were supposed to.

I don't trust ANY pump claims.

How are you measuring the flow?

How are you measuring the flow?

Flow meter.

his penis, what else?

Sounds promising. I think I will order one of the pumps along with brackets to go with the Afco heat exchange I bought from DiMora.

Why not wait for real data? I'll be testing more pumps come spring. Then you will know what the best option is.

Seems legit.

I suppose I could.... I am going to wait to swap the heat exchanger when I get the C/S front bumper cover in and painted. Also waiting for my Cobra Jet hood scoop to get in also.... (yes the real deal aluminum one)

Not a race car but might resemble one soon....

Is it spring up there yet?

39 deg and raining.

Michigan pretty much sucks.... 4 good months a season here and it's over.
