ok for some reason i keep loosing about a cup daily of dex cool but only after a couple WOT runs...no leak any where and no smell or smoke..and the intercooler neck is still pressureized when it has fluid in it i'm stumped anyone?

only started happening after i went from stock pulley to 3 inch

i would imagine it would have something to do with the hotter temps

but where would it go..could it be bleeding the system out even more since i got a smaller pulley i just don't get it

 

Yeah...you have a leak bud, there's no way your losing that much fluid without a leak. I run a smaller pulley harder and don't "lose" anything. If you're still under warranty take her in to get everything checked out.

 

I would say from exp your he pump is out of order. coolant gets so hot it evaporates(Sp)

fill it just till hit hits the bottom of the T . start car .see if u see it moving ,if not get a new pump.

this one is plug and play and has a higher flow rate http://www.steeda.com/products/mezie...oler_pumps.php

 

deff an IC pump. pour water(easier to see in dexcool) into the T and if it doesnt flow out then the IC pump is dead

 

This might be the problem im having, because the new heat exchanger is on and its still over heating, and my overflow tank is past the full line and hasnt mover since i got the car back, so the pump my be out

 

There is a way to check the pump by squeezing the tubing. If your pump has gone, there is a pump for the Lightning that is a direct replacement.

 

ok, i got the new HE and there is a hose going to the old HE... is that wrong? cuz i thought theres was one supposed to be going to the pump and then out the pump and then into the manifold

 

doc do you know the specs on the lightning pump?
any better flow?

 

IIRC it has the same part number on it, so same thing.

 

correct

 

bummer
after seeing how much difference there was just fixing a kink in my hose,
im thinking a high flow pump would be quite a nice mod

 

It is I run this one http://www.steeda.com/products/mezie...oler_pumps.php it does fit in the same bracket as factory I think all my friend did was put the plug on took about 30min start to finish for him to pop it on

 

ok how noticable is should the streaming coolant be it the t neck...cause i don't think its moving??? and yeah is the replacement gonna break right awaY too????and how bout that high flow one do you still have to buy the 18 dollar peice with it or does it just mount up easily

the barbed fitting i mean do i need that too...i'm pretty sure its the pump it makes sense and like i said its hard to tell if its streaming so its probably not...

so what should happen when i squeeze it

and POWERZ did you notice any kind of difference usin the high flow one....i just mean yeah it better i'm looking at like 225 to about 125 dollar difference from the ebay replacment one

 

i got one from a ford racing parts company, it was the same pump. only paid $90 for it. worked like a charm.

 

well my supercharger never really gets hot at all warm to the touch but never hot like it would before.

 

so the one on ebay for 80 should work good enough then?i have the stock H/E and and aftermarket one..still 90 dollar one?
and another thing how come so many peoples ICP"S going out WTF...

 

the pumps are small and work at a high temp and very hard .I got the upgrade in hopes it will last longer more then the extra flow but keeping it cooler longer is a good thing to

 

should i drive the car with the pump being out...even if i don't boost

do you know how many GPM the stock pump flows

 

I think its 5.3 gpm .I drove mine for about 300 miles till the pump came in.cant say if it hurt it or not but I did it lol

 

oh really well then hell i'm going with the 20 GPM pump then and i guess i have no choice got to get to work next week....i just won't boost and drive it as little as possiable thanks

do i need to buy the barbed fitting or does it just plug and play

 

yes you need it . both of our hoses have clamps and can be a pain to get off.

 

but the clamps are connected to the hoses.. what would the barbed fitting do and what the hell is it exactly?

ok actually i'm getting the ebay one anyone else have one i see they are 9GPM...for the price difference i'll take that upgrade... but are they completley plug and play i don't even see a hot and ground wire??????????
