water pump flow rate
Turbo Mini Forums

Hi just wondering does anybody no the flow rate of a standard mini water pump or uprated one. I cant seem to find any info about this. Thanks

It's hard to define since it's flow varies with engine speed. AlexF2003 did mention that he would test one but I never found any results.
Off hand, the KAD one has a flow rate of 13l/min and the Meziere one I am using (WP136S) has a flow rate of 2o yank gallons a minute. That's ~ 76l/min. The davis Craig flowrates are listed in their catalogue

Still having problems Chris?

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

yeah just trying to work out best way to mount the water pump and tryin to work out why mine doesnt work as well as yours. How much does a radtec drop the temp down any ideas

It dont mate, get the pump as low as possible and make sure there are no air locks.

I seriously doubt it!

What water pump are you using Chris?

dont really no its got a merc badge on it but it looks the same as the kad/ davis craig one

I had a merc one from a sprinter van.

It was used for the charge cooler apparently, but its not up for the job of cooling the mini annoyingly.

Is there a Bosch Part no on it?

Its the same as mine, so should be OK.

What temp are you getting Chris?
