it makes no difference between the lsj and l alternator? cool one thing i dont have to buy

 

[ACE]

how close are you to having all the parts ?

nope none at all, use ur stock alternator, you'll be fine..

 

[cobalt123]

close to all the parts, need the bolts now

and awesome, ill use my own

 

[Jn2]

very nice, how many more parts r left...

 

[cobalt123]

its a meziere wp136s, designed for air/water intercoolers and remote cooling systems. it flows 20gpm, draws only 5 amps (stock draws 4 amps). meziere is known for their reliability, this pump is designed for over 3000 hours of constant use and has a 2 year unlimited mile warrenty. its also fully rebuildable with parts avalible. the only downside to this pump is that it must be mounted vertically with the motor on the top, this is to reduce the chance of a motor failure should the pump seal leak.

with the low amperage of this pump, i should be able to wire it to the factory intercooler pump wiring without adding another relay. as a precausion i will add a fuse at the pump just for redundantcy (a fuse comes in the wiring harness with the pump). i will need to make a bracket up and re-do some of the plumbing.

as for the benifits of going this route, for me not having to put a new pump in every year and a half is the biggest one. im not sure if i will see any improvment in cooling. the manufacturor of the laminova recomends for our short cores to have minimum 10gpm of coolant flow for one core, more if you run cores in series. the stock pump falls very short at 6-7gpm. for a dual pass setup the coolant flow rate will be right on for whats recomended. i think it would further improve a single pass manifold. as for testing it vs stock, i dont really have a lot of time. i have a dual pass end plate and surge tank waiting to go on the car, i will likley do it all in one shot so my results could be a little scewed, i may need some input from others to help come up with the right conclusion from this experiment. keep in mind im not doing this just for cooling, its more for the fact that i need a replacment.[/
