ca18det water pump

[AnthSX]

Anyone know what the flow rate of it is?

[themadscientist]

enough.

If you are worried about it's abilities don't be. They flow enough for the 700hp beasts, I think they will be ok.

[AnthSX]

Of course it's enough, just I'm removing it...

I'm putting the radiator in the rear... so I'm wanting to work out what rate of flow it does normally so I know which electric pump to get for the extra distance the water needs to travel

[themadscientist]

Why are you putting a radiator in the rear?

[AnthSX]

Well, honestly, I might... it's all random thought ideas at the mo

Main reason is more space in the engine bay, my rad is too big (and I love it too much to get a different one :p ) for me to make a decent VMount set up so with the rad in the boot I can do a better vmount - well I guess with no rad there it defeats the idea of it been called a vmount but still, there will be a PAS and an Oil cooler at the front end so it'll be kind of like a 'v'

Seems like a rediculous amount of work very litlle benefit. Good luck with that.

If this is an S13 you're wasting your time, there's been like 10,000,000 race car S13s ever and none of them have the radiator in the trunk. Nor do all of them have V-mounts.

You're overthinking it bud...

[themadscientist]

It's been done. They cut the trunk floor out and ran the pipes through the cabin, replaced the fuel tank with a cell. It was rediculous and as you said unnecessary.

word.

w/o the radiator it is still a FMIC.....

sounds like lost of risk to be putting into such a significate component as well. I would much rather have a little heat soak and a TMIC than run all that piping and fluid all around the car.

not to mention I surely wouldd not want hot water lines running though my cabin........

ps wouldnt that be alot of extra water weight as well?
