Here is a pull from a dig.
Gm s2 with bolt ons

 

is that a mezeire?

 

Nope a jegs brand 20gpm nothing special

 

Did you drill holes in the t-stat or leave it stock?

 

Its stock.
Im to lazy to pull it off..i should do that though

 

im considering this for my new motor.. I would have to buy a new water pump anyway.
after doing a bit of reading there's really not any horros stories out there... just a lot of ppl checking in with how long there pumps have been on and still working.

btw, others interested in this, you can get a davies-craig ewp80 on ebay for 199.99 free shipping.

 

ewp 80 blah ewp 115 yes

 

The 80 flows more than 20gph...
Ewp115 is only like $25 more but it has to be in a 90* section of hose, the 80 can go inline.

 

Curious to see how many miles this will last.

 

Mezeire pumps are rated at 3000-5000 hours.. So at even 3hrs a day driving (which is a lot) that's 1000 days min...
1.5 hr/day 2000 days... Over 5 years.

 

Im doing 3 hrs a day right now

7k miles so far.

 

Nice wright up tjolley, you did exactly what I've had in my head but wasn't sure on doing it, nore have i had the time. Looks good thou.

 

Ok im past the 6 month mark with zero issues. Been upwards of 100* outside. I've done back to back to back pulls in. Im happy with this setup ill be making some improvements to it on my 2.4 lsj.

 

yeah my pump has been in since middle of 2010 and i haven't had one complaint.

 

U running the zzp setup?

 

You gave up on the machined inserts with the orings?

 

No they r going into my 2.4 lsj

 

good looking forward to your build.

 

U and me both still tryin to decide on valve springs bates 100 lbs seat pressure or crower 125lb seat pressure triple coil springs...hmmm

 

why so high a seat pressure? I remember area47 saying about something with engine harmonics with just 82lb springs when I did mine. Of course there was nothing wrong after my build and went down as forum phlegm in my experience.

 

10,000 rpm redline is y
Wen gm did there drag N/A cars they used these springs otherwise with 20+ psi of boost and a huge cam valve float is possible. I want to make sure the valve train stays tight if u know wat i mean.

 

How long will an engine like that last? Do you spend a lot of time in 7000-10000 to use that power band or is that going to be strictly racecar?

I am finding it hard right now, for me, to justify going on with the cost of ati balancer, installing the cams, etc. Just trying to juggle daily driver vs stuff I wont use very often (high revs...) My project has always been about the DD and logevity but its hard to draw the line. I want to just keep going... Cobalt is my cocaine. Its a heck of a drug.

 

Well Im ddin my cobalt for now till i finish me cavalier engine next week i hope. Then the cobalt will be strictly a weekend race car again. I ride my motorcycle lot more now with the weather being better. Well Im planing to pull the engine every winter for rings and bearings. Cuz the rings i had to go with were a lil on the thin side for my liking. But only time will tell.

Having a rev limiter that high will allow me to stay in the throttle longer than most ppl cuz i believe u r loosing momentum wen u r between gears. That's my thoughts. Just cuz ill be able to rev to 10,000 rpm dosnt mean i will every race. The engine in my car now spent alot of time in the 7000-8000 rpm range. At least 10-15 times a weekend. For the entire summer. Street racing for money is big in my area. Its not common to win or loose 300$ a weekend.

 

must be nice to have that kind of scene in your area.

 

yeah the davies craig with the controller







can't find the picture of the sensor and controller in the engine bay.
