its sweet dude! good luck with making a plate for it. let us all know... Heehee if you get it work you start making plates for people and selling them. : )

 

lol... what color do ya want em??? if im gunna do it im gunna do em right... aluminum and get them annodized or powder coated... hmmm i was gunna buy a powder coating gun and a bake oven anyway...

 

black!!!

 

hell that is easy... spray pant will do that one... no reason to get all fancy with annodizing and powder coating...

 

 

hell i'll take a red annodized plate

 

lol... i have to make the plate first... i might even make a patern and run it up to the metal shop at work and have them fad me one to try... the only thing i dont like about the kit is that it comes with a switch... i would rather it be hooked up to the temp sending unit and a relay so that it will run automatically... i might never forget to flip a switch... but sometimes other people drive my car and they just might...

 

wouldent you be able to hook it up so it went on when the car was on ?

 

you could yeah... just wire it to an ignition source... i would just like mine to come on after a little bit of engine warm up... get it into opperating temp sooner...

 

so hows it going with this? have you made one yet>?

 

yeh fa real def would not mind it lemme know def would tryi this on the car lemme know man

 

I'm skeptical about an electric pump, that one only flows 20 gpm.. and the S13 SR pump flows more than double that from 3500 rpm up and considered tons of people ***** about the SR pump, I'd imagine the KA's is slightly better... You also don't get any flow with the thermostat shut either.

 

that is why i would wire the pump up to a temp switch and have it come on as the temp got around 150 degrees... there is no reason for the pump to run if the thermostat is not open... as far as flow... i dont think there will be a problem as long as you have a cood cooling system to begin with (3 or 4 core radiator)... then you also have to look at where your motor lives in the rpm range most of the time... i know i can drive down the highway at 70 miles an hour and not go over 3000 rpm... sure there is the limited hard acceleration done at the stop light or in passing other cars on the highway... but my motor lives most of its life under 3200 rpm...
