RENNtech IC Pump vs BMW pump

RENNtech is proud to announce the release of our newest generation intercooler pump kit and intercooler upgrade for all Mercedes Benz Kompressor and McLaren vehicles. Our proprietary pump outperforms any other unit on the market; flowing over twice as much coolant as the problematic OEM units and significantly more than our previous generation kits. In an effort to dispel any misconceptions or misinformation regarding our pumps, perhaps a little background is in order.

Our previous generation intercooler kits utilized a race optimized Nippon- Denso pump. This pump offered extremely reliable performance and increased flow over the troublesome OEM unit and fit the bill for most performance applications. In search of even more to offer, a year ago we began testing the OEM pump utilized on the new BMW V8 models among other various pumps on the market. Impressed by the performance of the BMW pump, which was on par with our pervious generation Nippon Denso units only in a smaller package, we were not satisfied and went in search of something more than this mighty little pump. While this pump is an ideal entry level performance pump and is offered by other tuners on the market as an upgrade, we expect more.

In partnership with the OEM manufacturer, RENNtech further improved on the BMW pump and developed a proprietary unit which offers an even greater flow rate for the ultimate in both efficiency and performance. Both the RENNtech pump and BMW unit may be similar in both appearance and dimensions, but the similarities stop there. These units are manufactured exclusively for RENNtech, and offer extensive internal modifications and upgraded electronic internals which allow our pump to outperform anything else on the market. Our latest intercooler pumps are controlled utilizing sophisticated, proprietary, solid state electronics allowing the units to consume minimal power with the pump rated at 125 watts. This is an important factor as too much power consumption as found on other pumps on the market we tested can strain the vehicles electrical system; leading to faults in the multitude of sensitive electrical/charging computer controlled systems.

During extensive testing and in a head to head comparison with the BMW pump, the BMW units flow 6.4 G.P.M. @ 8.7 P.S.I with the RENNtech pump flowing an impressive 8.7 G.P.M. @ 11.6 P.S.I. It should also be noted that as operating pressure increases, pump flow velocity dramatically decreases; our pump is rated not only at a higher flow rate but at a more realistic system operating pressure. This increase in flow dramatically removes heat from the incoming air; allowing for a denser air/fuel mixture and substantially cooler charge air temperatures over the entire operating range. Additional specs and test results for both pumps can be found in the attached documents or via the following link:

Our latest RENNtech IC pump (8.7 G.P.M.) upgrade kit retails for $1,395.00

The complete RENNtech intercooler upgrade kit with pump (8.7 G.P.M) and front mounted intercooler is available for $3,995.00

Very interesting data between the two pumps.... they look very similar yet one is much better than the other? Great thread

So is it safe to say its simply a matter of raising the rpms (from 6,000 to 7,200) that is responsible for the higher rate of flow and ability to maintain higher pressure? Are you implying that these are manufactured with stronger components to handle the flow or just different internals to make up the motor speed?

I thought my bargain-hunting self must have read the pricing wrong.
What's that other funny phrase people like to throw around....oh wait I remember. "You gotta pay to play."

If only this kit was available sooner....damn my cheap I/C pump


Oh wait, I stand corrected, 1395 appears to be for a pump and heat exchanger and 3995 for the same with top mount intercoolers. Not as bad as I first concluded.

The $3,995 does NOT include top mounted IC heat exchangers.

See her for price list. BTW their price list shows $3,495 for the complete Cooling Upgrade not the $3,995 listed here in the post.
