dcairns Posted April 23, 2011 Report Share Posted April 23, 2011 I noticed my truck was a bit down on power when I was flooring it, and discovered that the intercooler pump was not running. Checked the plug for power, and that was okt. Gave the pump a whack and it started working . Checked it again a bit later and it needed another whack, sounds like it is time to replace it. Searching around here, I see some guys saying the Meziere WP136s pump is a good upgrade at 20gph. Meziere Enterprises WP136S Anybody tried it? What about the Meziere WP116S at 35gph (more is better ) Meziere Enterprises WP116S or the 40gph (too much is better still ) Meziere Enterprises WP116SHD I have a large heat exchanger so I think the higher gallons per hour would be put to good use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudy91040 Posted April 24, 2011 Report Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) I remember reading an article that one of that car mags did on a SS with the Radix. I believe it was Chevy High Performance. They did a bunch of mods, headers, tune, pulley, headers, etc. One of the mods was adjusting the pump voltage to speed it up and slow it down. They actually found that slowing the pump actually cooled better. It allowed the fluid to stay in the heat exchanger to longer which in turn cooled the incoming charge to a lower temperature. Not sure if this would still apply since you have a bigger heat exchange. Edited April 24, 2011 by rudy91040 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1BAD2K Posted April 25, 2011 Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Do you have a part number for that H/X? Looks extrememly efficient! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted April 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2011 Do you have a part number for that H/X? Looks extrememly efficient! I think they make better fitting heat exchangers now especailly for the SS, although I am not sure where. I got this one back in '03 and it was actually made for a Ford Lightning I had to trim the tabs and do some finger gymnastics to get it bolted in. The electric fans are a "must do" as they cool things down while you are at the stop light, waiting for the next full throttle launch.

sprayed99 Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 the 136 will be plenty for what you are doing. BTW it is 20GPM not GPH. with the larger heat exchanger I would also look to get a larger fluid resevoir as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted April 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 You caught my typo. Yes, after thinking about it, I am leaning towards the 136. Given the tube sizes and all, a bigger pump would just draw more power and not get much more through the system. I am also looking into the idea of a larger resevoir, if only because the existing one seems to introduce lots of air into the coolant due to the whirlpool it makes. That would only get worse with a bigger pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detjoe Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 zippy had used a rear heat pump from a venture van or something...might be an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
