thegreatestben Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Just a quick question, Would/Could they pump water. I'm still looking for a pump solution for my intercooler. Mr2's dont' have power steering so there's room for a pump. Could I use a power steering pump? It would have coolant which could provide lubrication? Doesn't have to last forever.

Unclejake Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Slightly OT but I thought MR2s did have power steering - driven electrically. Also - use your Repoc discount to purchase a small Davies Craig electric water pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thegreatestben Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Also - use your Repoc discount to purchase a small Davies Craig electric water pump Investigated today. $200 can either have repco order it and pay $91AUD for it, have to ring head office and the purchaser must order. Then they have to send it to head office, then to me. Then I pay for it with markup on top. Way too complicated and dumb. I asked lady on phone if I can just give her a credit card number etc. All g but not for the $91 aud. Would instead be 137AUD which is about $170 + $30-$40 for shipping. Hmm. Investigating having a guy in aus buy another one like the one he got and sending it to me. Trying to save money/not pay heaps is tuff.

thegreatestben Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 Live bait tank pump is an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unclejake Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 What does this pump have to do? Lift or just circulate and if so what velocity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 This water/air intercooler pump is designed for circulating water in water/air intercoolers. Unlike other bilge pump-based solutions available, this pump is designed by Bosch and Ford specifically for water/air applications. This pump is Bosch part number 0 392 022 002 and is used in many of the supercharged Mustang Cobras and supercharged Mercedes. This is an OEM pump. It ships with no documentation. Please check below for pump specifications from Bosch; these are the most detailed specifications available: This information is directly from Bosch. Unit conversion shows that this pump flows 317 GPH; any seller who advertises differently is incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unclejake Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 That isn't too much more than a windscreen washer pump/not really. Have a sniff around campervans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegreatestben Posted July 16, 2009 Author Share Posted July 16, 2009 The campervan things seem to be rather large and not designed to run constantly. Plus they're all getting up around that $200 amount. Might just have to shell out/somone buy my fridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLAWLES Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 another option you could do is ag-spray pumps ( electric 12v ) you can get them in all sorts of diff sizes and psi and flow rates, be ideal in this situation you can rig them to run all the time and or on a swtich, can give you good deals but cant remember prices and sizes right now, its been a long day pumps like shurflo etc 2nd thoughts they may be too heavy 3rd thoughts there a neo-prem diaphram pump, and are prone to crapping out if constitly run get the davis craig one man dont cut corners like the old owner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyteler Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Worried about the terminology. Impeller? Because impaler could be fucking dangerous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
