Meziere pump install & review
Gents -
Granted this is on an S65, however that area...well, I just think the folks in the SL forum might appreciate it more
Well after replacing 24 plug, a coil pack and a new fuel pump...I went to the track and logged 165F - 195F (maybe 200F) - you can imagine how upset I was after the car ran like a dog. At least there was a reason - those temps are ridiculous. My 10 month old CM30 was dying.
Marcin was quick to reply to my txt's and after doing some research here, I figured I would go with the Meziere WP136S - why fool around, right?
Thanks to a post by Marcus Frost, I knew exactly what fittings to buy:
WP12034B x 2
Called up John Nouri at Broadway Performance and setup some time just yesterday morning.
Drove the S65 up and pulled right into the shop. We unpacked the new pump and I thought, "sweet Lord...this is not fitting". The Meziere is almost 7lbs and the CM30 is about 2.5lbs.
John fabbed up a sweet bracket and in no time had it mounted up! I was surprised that 1) it fit and 2) that it was able to be mounted vertically. Took out the CM30 and found space in the same general area to get it mounted.
I'll try to get John to jump in here at post some pics along with a proper description of what he did.
Then it was go time. John's in Passaic, NJ and I was en route to Stamford, CT. That meant stop and go traffic as well as open highway.
What I logged, IMO, was just awesome. Over the 45min drive (after driving from S NJ to Passaic) to Stamford, the highest IAT I saw was 118.4F - that was for ~2 seconds
I would say the average IAT while stopped or in traffic was 103.21F (I took avg of all IAT when < 1500rpm).
Average IAT when driving (rpm > 1500rpm) was 91.43F <- 91deg's!!
Keep in mind this was over 40min's worth of logging and 29,000 rows of data.
Highest IAT: 118.4F
Lowest IAT: 73.5F
Average cruzing IAT: 91.43F
Average IAT when..well...getting on it (rpm >2500): 84.33F
Note: Ambiant temps were ~50deg and I also have a Speedriven remote mount IC tank.
Not sure about you guys...but I've never, ever seen IAT's that low on the TT V12. I'm sold on the pump and remote tank.
I'll get some pics up, but get ahold of John over at Broadway Performance if you're anywhere close by and he'll be able to get your car sorted out.
