I got my lightning/terminator intercooler pump. Are the electrical connections the same as the stock pump, i haven't been able to take a look yet and searching has found nothing. Figured someone who has done this would know.

ps...i find it ironic that the thing to fix my car came in a ford racing box.

 

hmmm im actually interested in this.... can u tell me how it helps if you have hptuners or interceptor?

thx

 

yea, you got a a picture of it and what is the flow rate compared to stock?

 

x2 subsribed for later viewing....

 

Not sure, I searched for a replacement and this is what people told me to get.
Ijust knew my stock pump was dead because i was seeing cruising iat2s of 140-150 and wot iat2s of 190.

Not suure, I think it was comparable to stock, i will take pics tonight when i get home from work.

 

I mean, theres gonna be a + and a -.

 

IM 99% sure its the same exact pump correct me if Im wrong

 

I mean I dont think its the exact same model and everything...hang on let me get the part #....

NM I cant find the damn thing!

 

yeah i cant get the part numbers either, hahaha

 

this is the part number

Manufacturer: Ford Racing (#M-8501-L54)

 

let me know what your IATs drop to under WOT

 

190 wow that musta been scary like

does anyone know of a pump that is a upgrade??? not just replacement i saw it on here before but cant find the thread anymore

 

I don't know what my iat2s were to begin with, bought a interceptor gauge, went drag racing, saw 190 and came on here to ask if that was normal. Then I searched to figure out if the pump was working. I'll let you guys know what it goes down to since the track is open tomorrow.


I read in a thread its just a replacement.

 

anyone have any idea on how to get the clamps off the hoses that go in and out of the pump?

 

if its what i think they may be they squeeze off...there should be metal prongs on the top or the clamp spaced out a litle bit...squeeze them together....if its even what im thinking it is

 

yeah they squeez off, but the are glue in place on the hose too so you cant just easily squeeze and slide, you have to squeeze the clamp and yank the hose off at the same time, take some elbow grease

 

so where the **** are the pictures

 

what clamps are you talking about an why in the world would it be glued?
i changed mine a few months back.
all you have to do is get a good grip in the hose an pull.
the stock innercooler pump an the inlet an outlet where the hose are connect.
they have a little lip that is a bitch to pull off

but theres no glue an no clamps...
well on mine there were no clamps i dont know about the newer model over 05
i will try an find my old pump if i didnt throw it away to show you the lip that you have to try an pull the hose over

 

its gm...they used thos cheap squeeze clamps...its a shitty excuse for a clamp...just a little metal ring...squeeze the ends together and it comes off...

 

I had mine off many times, mine had spiral clamps with a little glu to keep them in place on the hose. Had to squeeze the clamp then tug on the hose that was on mine. Same style clamp that was on the other side of the hose that went to the stock exchanger. Yours could be diff, just telling you how mine were. No need to get all irrate. My pump had a lip too but the clamps were on there as well

right, they had a dab a glue on mine that kept the clamp in that spot though, you couldnt just squeeze and twist like you can with the clamps on the vacuum hoses, was a bitch

 

i can squeeze them all the way, but can't rotate or pull off. I'm taking a break, my hands hurt from holding the clamps open.

 

read my post, they are glue in place, you have to squeeze and pull the hose not the clamp

More details...

 

I bent the clamps squeezing them together...so i cut the hoses right after the clamps. There was enough slack to put the hoses over the new pump. Filled the coolant back up that was lost. My cruising iats were about 35 degrees above iat, does that sound correct?
