Intercooler pump replacement idea...

[4U2NV-SS]

2012 Camaro SS M6
Whipple supercharger
Whipple heat exchanger
Whipple Bosch pump
RotoFab Reservoir tank
Active Interchiller

So my Bosch pump took a crap.

So should I replace it with a ZL1 pump and be on my way

or

has anyone had experience with a Davies Craig EWP150 pump
https://daviescraig.com.au/product/e...p-kit-12v-8060

Would the ewp150 be to strong of flow through my 2 gallon system?

Is faster water flow better for a small system, by not allowing the water to warm up?

Is the Stewart EMP over Kill? I know the price is

Other ideas welcomed....

I have my Magnuson heartbeat pump up for sale. If your interested in purchasing mine. It has low miles on it. If not I would look at the prospeed EMP pump... but just depends on what you wanna spend. Best of luck either way!

P^^^PM me the price for your pump? Any pictures?

Yeah the emp is pricey. Not sure if it’s over kill for my small system

Varimax is the way to go. Get the pnp harness...

I have 2 in my system...

I went with the varimax. I have the active innerchiller as well

The more water flow the better, flow drops pretty good from the restrictions and pressure in the system, a stronger pump will recover some of these losses and cool more efficiently.

We recommend and use the LPE varimax pump kits in stock at JRE 203-753-7223

Thanks guys!!!

Wish I could find some real info on these Davies Craig pumps.

I too am also interested in the Davies Craig pump as an intercooler pump for my rear mounted ice tank. I’d like to bypass the stock ZL1 pump and just use one pump in the trunk.

Just reading the description, it seems like the EWP150 might be a little bit overkill for your system. While I agree, that you want some speed of flow, it needs to be a balanced flow that maximizes heat transfer. If the coolant is flowing so fast through the intercooler and heat exchanger that it never has a chance to actually transfer any heat, what good is it doing you?

When my Bosch pump quit, I switched to the Varimax, and haven't looked back. I have the Active Interchiiler as well, and my IATs are always good.

The engineering data I found on liquid cooling in heat exchangers indicate that faster is always better.

I have a 5 gal trunk tank with 3/4 lines, I am on my third bilge pump.
The bilge pumps don't like long trips that's for sure.
A Varimax won't cut it for a rear mounted tank pump just simply not enough pressure or volume. I'm down to looking at Davies Craig, EMP , Pierburg or ??

If i had a small front mounted tank i would definitely go with a Varimax but i like adding large amount of ice when at the track.

Thanks! I had some flawed logic going on. Did a quick search and found the following:

"....Maintaining high rates of cooling water always promotes cooling: heat energy carried off per unit of time is increased.

High cooling water flow rates increase heat transfer coefficients (by promoting turbulence), as well as keeping the cooling water at lower temperature, which further promotes cooling, as the heat carried off per unit of time is directly proportional to the temperature difference between the cooling water and the object to be cooled (see Newton's law of cooling).

Of course there may be other, practical limitations to cooling water rates, such as pump rating and pressure build up. But within these margins, the faster the flow of cooling water, the better the cooling."
