Just spoke to Mudski and sitting on 110kmh his car is sitting on 95 degrees.. Now is this because his car is putting out a lot more horse power?
On the highway mine sat on 83-87 degrees doing 110kmh towing a camper.

Well you did have that pump BA, and isn't he in QLD, warmer weather ??
More power. Slightly different system. 95 degrees is ok. Nothing to worry about at 95.
Dont take my comments the wrong way jono. Its good you have seen an improvement from the dollars you have spent. If you went with one from another company down there I dont believe the results would have been anywhere near as good. Jpc have done a nice job on the impeller.
Cheers Matt yes the main difference I think is under load or big big hills where it seems to have made things more stable.. yes I know 95 is not a problem with these cars but it was how quick mine would climb in the middle of winter on a snow trip hitting 100 at one point when no one else seem to have this.
Eric Mark has the same pump as me and when I was first driving on my holiday the temp was in its mid 20's and towing... Mark is experiencing the same temps I think but not towing?
In the end I am very happy with it performance and have no regrets.
fwiw the other company down here have been working on a new pump for the last 12 months from the states and is just about ready for testing on td42's.Quote:

I'm happy your seeing improvements johno, something I've been considering for a long time myself!
Good to get real feedback.
Lets hope it's better than the last attempt.
Managed to get my hands on a patrolapart pump today and it did not impress me...
I would rather a good pump made in japan for a bit over $130 than this for $250 exchange.

Just took the camper back to mattys and the drive is up the calder with a number of big hills.
The car did not go above 88 degrees and i travel the road semi often so this is one road i have a good idea of temps... normally without a trailer i get well into the high 90's on one of the really long hills so this is a massive difference.
The recovery time is also much faster.
The next hill the check is at ab's place. ..he knows the one.
Melba hwy up to Kinglake turn off, cracker of a test hill!Quote:
