RE-medy High Flow Water Pumps

***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.
