Superflo I/C Pump
I am hoping my IC pump is shot (another story altogether)...
Anyone familiar with this pump (link below)?
Sources tell me the Superflo the best option for the 113K.
Sources also tell me that the Mez pump is low pressure/high volume and even when they are working up to their potential aren't sufficient for a modified 113K.
Thanks,
TK

I have compared that pump head to head with the bosch 010 (and the peirberg CWA-50) and a couple of others and it is by far the best flowing pump for the money (particularly when measuring Flow at typical charge cooling system resistance).
After testing various pumps, the CWA-100 is what I ended up using on my SL55.
I would not hesitate to get this pump from VRP it is a very good price for a great pump.
hope that helps,
Chris
attached is a graph comparing it to various pumps. I did not create this graph, but all of my testing on various pumps, agreed with it.

Latemodel21,
Thank you! Over the top response (you are too kind). Hopefully I am not pushing it here but do you know if the pump can be set-up to where it is continuously running?

Keep in mind that this pump pulls about 8 amps (8.4 at start up and 7.2 to 7.35 thereafter in my testing) which is more than twice that of the 010. SO, you will want to run heavier wires and fuse it at 10 amps or more (I use a 10 amp fuse; mercedes uses a 15 amp fuse in newer cars that run this pump) .
hope that helps,
Chris

Yes, it can be set up to run anytime your key is on, etc.

Do you have to use a heavier gauge wire and fuse if your just plugging it in were the factory location? Using the VRP pump.

So how far up do I need to run the heavier wire? Example, VRP supplied the pig tails. I basically cut the factory plug and wire it in at that point with the pigtails that the pump supplied with.

Thanks for the advice on the heavy wiring.
Also, "Chiller Killer" is fixed. Wasn't the KC. I had leaks coming from my a/c lines. it was 68 today and rolling IAT's dropped as low as 48. Did a few pulls to unsafe speeds and IAT's went to 170 range. The shop is moving the return line to the back of the engine bay tank. Hopefully that helps. As far as the wiring goes they will have the S/C off sooner than later for a few more "goodies" that should rid me of any IAT issues (even with a 225 crank and 50 FSP set-up)...
225/50 is an exaggeration but you guys get the point.
