RE-medy High Flow Water Pumps

classicauto · 10-31-2008, 03:50 PM

Also another question:

Have you guys noted any issues with belt slippage (presuming you are running the "small" belt after deleting the airpump) due to the extra work the pump's performing?

Do you recommend an idler pulley when using this pump? Perhaps a knurl on the stock pulley? Or is it an issue at all is the belt if properly tensioned and in good shape?

***Herblenny*** · 10-31-2008, 04:24 PM

Classicauto, Far as I know the belt slippage is due to elimination of air pump on FDs. The air pump give higher belt contact area to the pulley and hence less slippage. The Greddy pulley does wear over time and contact is questionable.

I know David Garfinkle is working on a tensioner/idler for FD... Which I'm waiting on and will be using this pump, stock pulley or Greddy, and Gar's idler. I know Pineapple also makes one but Garfinkle have sourced a heavy duty bearing that will handle high RPM and easy spin.

By the way, Welcome PAUL!

Thanks Herb. It's nice to be here.

Classic, anything that's suitable for the stock pump is suitable for ours, although we usually state that underdrives are un-necessary with our pump because it's designed to reduce opportunity for cavitation and therefore does not need to be slowed down. There are a few advantages to this including retaining excellent flow at low revs. It's not that you can't but it's usually more ideal to run without underdrives. As for idlers or other tensioners I plead ignorant in your application and would listen to those more experienced than me in these departments.

Paul.

Are there any plans for an FC model anytime soon?

Dannobre · 11-08-2008, 12:52 PM

I have one of the first pumps in my 8...it works as advertised......I noticed lower coolant temps on track with this pump at high RPM's.

I don't have a lot of data though because I put it in just before I went FI.....so all the temps are not relevant from the before data

Paul is the man

Not at the moment.

R-R-Rx7 · 11-18-2008, 02:34 PM

do you currently have any in stock?

Brent · 11-18-2008, 02:56 PM

I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these. I think I need a new Water Pump anyways and price is that much more. I run extremely cool already, but this isn't going to do anything but help all the more.

3rd Gen is what he has.

Boosted FC · 11-24-2008, 05:23 PM

It is in stock. Also, we will offer a free bottle of RedLine Water Wetter on the next 5 purchases of either the 3rd gen or RX8 pumps.
