Cooling Down

scramblr · September 7th, 2008, 04:28 PM

Installed the Meziere w/p yesterday. Pretty easy install. Ran the car to 220*, shut it down and ran the pump. Took 20 minutes to get to 180*...pretty quick.

I then wired the rad fan to a switch and it runs with the key on ACC along with the Meziere and I/C pump. Again ran the car to 220* shut it down and ran the pump and fan. Took 7 minutes to get to 170*.

Thats cool.

navyman8903 · September 7th, 2008, 05:23 PM

what tools did you use Cuz.. I tried to put mine in. and had a great time with the bottom bolt on the pump and the crank kept getting in the way and stuff......needless to say I aborted the mission. not something I have ever done.

scramblr · September 7th, 2008, 05:34 PM

I was able to start the bottom bolt by hand. Then used a ball ended 6mm allen wrench to screw them all in. It took longer to take everything apart to get to the w/p than to swap them both out.

I've read than you can put some double sided tape on the head of the bolt so it sticks to the allen wrench and then guide it in. Also, no need to drain the coolant. I only lost about a quart by swapping them out real quick.

navyman8903 · September 7th, 2008, 05:50 PM

you must be a god at doing that cuz mine puked every where. I didn't have a ball end t-handle I was looking for one but sears was all out. just my luck. But I might give another go, I didnt think of the double sided tape.

RStrick0352 · September 8th, 2008, 11:54 AM

I did mine the same way, except I did a 180' thermostat at the same time. I couldnt be happier.

scramblr · September 8th, 2008, 12:23 PM

Stock T-Stat is 180*...at least in the 05 and 06s.

RStrick0352 · September 8th, 2008, 06:07 PM

I guess not in the 07's, mine is significantly cooler than it was stock and its not due to the pump.

2006greyGT · September 9th, 2008, 12:05 AM

I am going to check into this while they still have my motor out of the car.... please give me some brands or links or point me in the right direction... plz

2006greyGT · September 9th, 2008, 12:13 AM

Never mind... I looked again and saw the brand in the first post.... they are kinda proud of them aren't they.... good thing I am already blowing 13,500 on my stroker ,, whats another 500... and that they have them specifically for Kenne Bell equipped cars is a deal sealer for me...

scramblr · September 9th, 2008, 12:16 AM

Hell, they can charge whatever they want, they don't have any competition right now as they are the only ones that make this part for our application. I picked mine up from Brenspeed. It was the lowest price I could find.

qwik48r · September 9th, 2008, 12:24 AM

nice.. is this a track car or dd? or 2nd vehicle.

thats awsome... wish I could stroke and spray my mustang into the 9's..... dreams....

2006greyGT · September 9th, 2008, 01:22 AM
