After getting my Jabsco pump experiment together I appreciate that Torq is offering a complete ready to install kit for the ZL1.<\/p>\n

The Meziere 55 gpm intercooler pump would be a remote mounted 12v pump like the Meziere Enterprises WP365S<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have emailed Meziere to ask for a pump performance curve, not having found one on their website.\u00a0 The pump performance curve shows measured output of the pump at various system resistance points.\u00a0 Considering the curve versus the system resistance curve would let us estimate how the pump would flow in an actual intercooler system.<\/p>\n

Assuming that the Meziere 55 gpm intercooler pump has a higher shutoff pressure than the Jabsco pump, and a similar pump curve, it should have higher flow.\u00a0 Lots too many ifs until we can get a pump performance curve, but if I had to guess I would say that it might do 8-9 gpm in a system.\u00a0 So with my 2 heat exchanger system, and an inline tank, the OEM 8 gpm pump does 3.5 gpm, the Jabsco 29 gpm pump does 4.5 gpm, and the Meziere 55 gpm intercooler pump might do 8-9 gpm.<\/p>\n

Keep in mind that as the flow goes up, the pressure goes up more.\u00a0 These are centrifugal pumps, so as the pressure goes up they have less flow.\u00a0 By comparing the system curve and the pump curves we can predict the spot where the pump will work, once we have the pump curve.\u00a0 I’ll update if Meziere shares that spec.<\/p>\n

Summary — Meziere 55 gpm intercooler pump<\/h2>\n

Torq, in concert with Meziere, is offering an intercooler pump upgrade ready-to-install kit for the Camaro ZL1.\u00a0\u00a0 In their bench tests the kit was advantageous.\u00a0\u00a0 The kit could be modified to work with the Cadillac STS-V or CTS-V.\u00a0 I have not tested the Meziere 55 gpm intercooler pump to determine exactly how it would flow in our systems.\u00a0 This is a more expensive pump, although I have not seen a price quote from Torq yet.<\/p>\n
