Suby water/air i/c pump question
Have a standard Suby i/c pump running in my fasty. It seems to have stopped, may have been because I had ignition on for ages and was mucking around
with front hoses and may have crimped one which would have stopped water flow.
Have not pulled apart yet but I remember reading somewhere on RSLiberty forum that these things are pretty indestructable and some $2.50 part usually
burns out. Does anyone know anything about these or possible fix solution.
Thanks Andrew

Sorry I have the RS Liberty air to water intercooler so it has its own seperate radiator up the front and the pump circulates the cooler water into
the intercooler. Its stopped so without it it will only have the water that is sitting in there and this will soon heat up from engine heat soak.

Hey mate, talk to Paul who did the wrx conversion with me and Jack. he used to be an auto electrician and has re built his one and said it was
cheap.
I think he is on here as 1303.

Hi GTMAC
I have a water pump if you need one, PM me.
To be honest though I would not recommend using the orginal unless you havent exceeded the standard water capacity much. These pumps are designed to
run the the standard ECU controlled resistor which makes them run slowly, they only get full voltage when the TPS is past about 80% from memory. When
running them in a conversion with aftermarket ECU, there is no control for the resistor so most people would run them with full 12 volts, which leads
to premature failure as they were not designed for it.
If you do use a resistor to reduce the speed so it lasts longer, but have increased the water volume of the system, they dont have enough punch to
circulate the water anyway.
Moral of the story, by an aftermarket one. I think Jak runs a small davies craig, which I would imagine works well. I use a 12volt garden pond pump
which is designed for constant use & pumps heaps of volume at low pressure, it was around $120 from memory.
Cheers
Paul

Thanks Paul, did exactly that, Jak told me how happy he is with his and went and bought the same. Best price I found anywhere was from American Autos
at Homebush.

Ian, I knew someone would ask that and I was racking my mind to think what I paid. Just looked on their online site, it was $174. Nice little unit.
Made my enquiries and actually rang Davies Craig technical about it. The unit is German made Bosch and sold under licence by them. They have had no
returns whatsoever (unlike the old ones they supplied) and its rated for 300,000km continuous use which is a sh#t load of hours.
