not to large, most put then in the trunk, the ledge on the driverside, where the cd changer goes i guess.
alot just use fuel cells, aluminum will sweat, plastic ones are somewhat cheap and dont sweat.

some guys use this pump
The pump is manufactured by Jabsco. The pump name is Centri-puppy and is Part Number: 185100000.
Features:

12V DC @ 8 Amps
20 gpm
Bronze Impellere
3/4" NPT
5 lbs. Dim: 3-1/2"H x 4"W

http://www.greatoutdoors.com/ittjab...ipuppypump.html
or
As has been said already, go buy a midsized bilge pump from walmart. They last quite a while and aren't loud (when submerged...which should be always). You don't want the pump to pump too much coolant

How could it pump too much?? I'd listen to Don Bailey...his recomendation pumps 20gpm, the one I use pumps 18gpm. I'd bet the Wal-Mart deal pumps very little....2-3gpm?? With 18-20gpm it doesn't take long to get the intercooler cold before you make a pass and it keeps the water pushing through it during the pass. I do see your point on $$ though, but you get what you pay for
.

just curious, how much are the Jabsco pumps.

I sell the Meziere pump WP136 and was just wondering how it stacks up price wise to the Jabsco.

If you want a price on the WP136 intercooler pump email me at

The jabsco pump appears to be a sherwood pump. I got mine from Grainer for about 120$

I'm running the wp136 pump (20 gpm) with a 5 gallon cell and haven't decided on the heat exhanger just yet. Prolly a large tranny cooler w/ a fan.

are you guys mounting the tanks in the back Im assuming, since that seems a lil big for in the front.

I would think all those lines would cause the pump to work harder and heat up the water more.

I could be wrong though, I know MM's setup is all front mounted, but I didnt know about the others who keep talking about it. I dont think MM's tank is as large
thanks again guys
