Default Intercooler pump

While working on a friends 2004 2500 with a Radix on it I found that the intercooler pump had failed. After some re-search I figured I'd try something different. I ordered a GM pump #10449179 which is a pump used on Venture vans for the rear heater core. Not only is the pump smaller with a much nicer and cleaner mounting system, but it also has the same connector as the stock Magnacharger pump. After installing it and driving around I found the IAT's seem to fall quicker with this pump than they did with the original. I was wondering if anyone else has tried this?

I love anything that messes up a "package" and turns out nicer!

I am sure maggy did their research, IAT's come down quicker, how do they look on the climb?

ive always wondered if another kinda pump would work better.ive been 2 nervous that if i ordered something with too much pressure it might screw up the expensive intercooler setup i have .whats the thought on this and what kinda pressure would the int ,cores take?i mean the 1 i got with my kit u can barely tell its circulating.i would think that alittle more pressure might not be a bad thing for cooling.

The key is finding a happy medium, if it circulates to fast then it cant absorb the heat and if its too slow then it cant transfer the heat away fast enough.

exactly! There's a chevy performance article floating around here somewhere that found by decreasing the voltage a cooter hair you got the best results.

Setup the voltage on a adjustable gain and just play with it to find what works the best....


Yaaa just play with it Dewey....
