Default Best water to air pump

Hey guys I wanted to get some recommendations on what pump you guys my suggest for my water to air intercooler . I'm not looking for a cheap one but something quite that flows well and is durable . My car is a daily driver and I preferred quality. I was going to buy a kit from Frozenboost but the pumps look kinda cheap. Thank you in advance .

Wow I see there is a huge range in how much this pump cost , from 100 to 1000 dollars . The Stewart is about 500 . I think that would be the max I see my self paying for a pump . I've notice in the Stewart there is two one that has the stock program and one that was reprogram to double its capacity.

Standard Stewart flows 26gpm open and 21GPM through my system. Reprogram should increase that 35% but the amp draw goes up big time.

If the Mezeire flows what it claims it will be the Macdaddy of ic pumps.

Looks like the reprogrammed Stewart is as good as the Mezeire.

I have the varimax from lingenfelter and its basically silent and seems to pump quite a bit. i upped my lines to 1" id and it helped flow.

I really doubt you need that Stewarts EMP pump. Buy a Rule 2000, it will more than provide your needs.

Reality of it is Rule pumps are terrible in closed systems.

Buy a pump thats truly designed to work in a pressurized system.

Hmm, I have a Rule pump mounted inside the water tank and it pumps the crap out of the water. Hard to imagine that any system would need the water to flow faster than this pump flows. I have been around rule pumps for many years in the boat industry and they rarely fail. And when they due its due to something plugging them up. Ill be making about 950 rwhp with my truck and I'm not too worried about it. I feel you can over spend on this part very easily. I guess time will tell.

Rule is ok if you run at least 1.25" id hose. 1.50 is better. I upgraded from a Rule 3700 and the GPM went from 10 to 21 through my system with 1" hose. Rule moves water, but at any pressure they drop hard. Just look at the posted graph. You can put your finger over a 3700 and stop the flow easily. More flow = lower AIT, but it al depends on what you need. My Rule worked fine. EMP is better.

Is this the pump your talking about ? How do you mount them do they have anywhere to actually bolt on a bracket ? I like the price of this pump and I also like that it does not have a computer.
