i have my cobra heat exchanger mounted behind my grill instead of in the bottom opening. my question is do you think the stock pump is strong enough to pump liquid to that height???

 

yeah your fine.

 

you are fine only if the coolant reservoir is above the aftercooler,otherwise you cant get the air out of the coolant and the fancy cooler wont do the job

 

If there are people running cobra h/e and dual pass plus the stock one and the pump is strong enough for that i dont see why this would be any different.

 

i didnt think about the resivoir being the highest point for the bleeding. very good point

 

not many people are upgrading the pump, the stock pump has enough power to run a second heat exchanger in pretty much any spot in the car, it probably won't help more than a couple in IAT2's degrees during runs having an aftermarket. i feel it may help more with a front mount heat exchanger though, i just got my front mount installed and will start logging IAT2's once it gets warmer and dryer out.

 

on this topic of the pump has anyone, wired the pump to turn on and run all the time. so basically it goes on with accessory

 

you dont need to run wires

hp tuners does that for you, you can program it in there i have and its great at the track cause it cool everything down all the time

 

so your pump runs all the time, or only at the track??..would it wear out quicker??

 

yeah where is that setting in hp tuners to keepo the pump on all the time

 

i dont know
fred at smg set it up on hptuners for me

he pressed a button on the computer and the thing came on and it has been on since then

 

Just set the ERT Min to 0 seconds, and the HE Pump comes on when the key is turned to accessory. There are also options to set the fans to come on at earlier temps. I think 89 is the lowest, but it still helps. Just make sure not to set all the fields to 100%, I found the fans come on all the time if you do that.

 

nice info, looking to utilize this once i get my hptuners, every bit helps

 

No Prob. I've been using hptuners for a while now. If you need any assistance, feel free to ask.
