I need suggestions and or pictures of your setups. I have the GE pump and am worried about its operation. Can I run it with a stock thermostat? Where should I put it, upper hose? lower hose? I am a bit confused. I have too much into this engine to lose it over a cooling issue. I have to run this due to my deckplate. TIA

Lower hose. No thermostat..make a plate to mount it on your tranny.

 

^ clean install yo!

 

 

Do you have any overcooling problems? Do you have it hooked up to a thermo switch or on all the time? Any info would be appreciated since this will be a street/weekend warrior as well. Thanks,

Anyone else?

Nah, no overcooling problems, but then again, i dont drive it in the winter, and dont use a stock management, so...As far as it being hooked up, its wired to power on when the fuel pump is powered on, so basically, yeah, whenever the car is running..

 

Thanks...I am going to try that before I start messing with thermos and such.

well i might add that i have my external pump wired to a toggle switch also, if that helps...

 

ron, what temp does your car normally run at????

 

150 i think is about normal

 

FYI:

The Meziere system has you drill two holes (3/16") into your stock thermostat and leave it in.

 

Ron, do you run some sort of restrictor plate where your thermo was?

-Ryan

 

I have an autometer temperature guage sender plumbed into the hole...

 

Ron I remember reading in some sanctioning body's rule book that electric water pumps are illegal in street classes. Has anyone ever given you ****?

 

i dont know what rulebook yer reading, but i think its legal. They are rumored t be illegal next season tho.

 

I remember reading that the Meizer's are only good for about 250 hours of use. Is this true?

BTW. Damn Ron 150 temps is awesome! Are you sure thats how cool the car runs?

 

I thought the ideal coolant temp for proper combustion was 180 degrees.

Edit: This article states its closer to 200 degrees F. http://thestar.com.my/services...7.asp

 

Yes Dan, that is true, give or take a few dozen hours, hehe, Yeah 150 at idle

When i spoke to Meziere, they told me 2800hrs, with daily driving, should last about 2- 2.5yrs... thats what i was told.

nick

 

thats pretty short thinking about the amout of cash they cost

 

Well they aren't made for daily driving.
