I have seen no difference in power from the 1.15 to the 1.28 to the 1.44. I dont dyno but I go by mph and the car has gone 171 on all three of those housings with the 42r wheel.

I have tried other turbine wheels and I have spent alot of money and time trying things and I still keep ending up back to where I started. gt4272 billett with a 1.28 housing.

The 1.44 was a little later on the transient so I went back to the 1.28. The only reason the 1.15 didnt go back on is because I sold it, lol.

Sorry to take this off topic but If anyone has questions feel free to pm me or start a turbo thread.

Sorry again OP.

Can someone elaborate on the benefits of running an electric water pump over the stock unit?

Hate to beat a dead horse but I still don't understand why EWP's aren't allowed in "SFWD" or Outlaw. There should be limits on fuel, weight, turbo size, tire size and the basics that keep the cars "street" appearing such as no lexan, no rear "wheelie" traction bars etc. Open it up and let everyone build what they wanna build.

Outlaw SFWD is retarted. 1 or 2 races to build a car that cost $80k to build.

The rules have been the same for over a year now, why change them, either build the car for two races or build it for test and test.

I do find it rather amusing that I can run an electric water pump in both the BOTI turbo and all motor "street classes" , also had it approved for the Nopi/Nhra all motor class - yet in an outlaw class it is not allowed . . .

You're absolutely right. The class rules are retarded.
I'm adding an electric water pump now, because Tony Palo has one, lol. Whatever he has, is automatically considered class legal.
I always wondered why it was okay with everyone to run beadlock front wheels, but you can't run spindle mount wheels in back. Neither one is considered a street wheel, nor is either one any more or less in the "spirit" of the class. Same with external wetsump oil pumps. Who cares whether a car has an external wetsump pump or not, honestly.

here is a picture of the water tube when i get more i will post them. the pipe in the middle is just to hold the pipe in place as if it was stock. the pump will be suspended off of the cross member. Mike Morris from T1 made this one for me after we brainstormed some ideas thanks mike

i know the welds aren't perfect but it's a solid bead,

the tab on the bottom mounts to the front part of the cross member. the flat part will mount to the top of the cross member next to the rear mount. 7in out and 7in up. my measurements should be on point.

i just test mounted it a sec ago and took it back down. but i will take a quick pic for you. I noticed i need to lower the pump by an inch or so cause it was going to hit the bottom of the intake.
