Anyways, I would be interested if it was reverse cooled.

 

I would look very hard before jumping. Life span, hp to $, and it has to be a true bolt on. Life span and the HP/$ being the big issues. If I am going to spend 450.00 for a pump it better run for a minimum of 3 or 4 years before I have to think about replacing it. But if your only picking up 5 or 8 hp for that amount I wouldnt even bother reading past "GAINS OF UP TO 5-......oh nevermind.

I havealways worried about electric pumps so I would be hesitant to buy in the first place. Something about them I just dont trust.

 

I'm game!

 

"Forgive my ignorance, but how the hell does a stock mechanical water pump go out??

I had the front seal go out once in my '00 Z.

 

I also talked to them about a week ago. They told me it should be coming out late january. I was going to buy the race only version, but now I will wait for the real bolt on deal. They advertise 2500 hours, and you can replace the motor if it goes out. For my nondaily driver that is a deal. You can run reverse flow, but I heard it wasn't worth much on the dyno versus typical flow on the race only unit. I believe it was worth about 12-15 horses.

 

Heck, I would even do it.. IF it was a true bolt in and retained the heater/t-stat and all.. would be nice if my Katech tensioner bolted to it as well.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

10 - 12 horses is good thing..

 

i'd take one if the price was right and it lasted for more than a couple of years.

 

If this comes out I will DEFINATELY buy one! I have been looking at the "race" version trying to figure out how I could do the heater and thermostat but this solves it. If a GP comes up....COUNT ME IN!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

 

Like mentioned in other posts; If it was a true bolt-on, had heater/AC provisions and had some type of over ride if case of eletrical failure. I would just hate to give up even a small percent of reliability.

I'm in!

 

I~m in, I loved it on my LT1... I`d run the pump with the engine off and fans on and ac/heat fan on full blast.. it would cool the car down in 10 min.
This did require a Yellow top Optima however <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

 

As much good as I have heard about the LT-1 unit, I am in for one for my '00 SS.

 

I have been waiting for a pump for over a year. I have kept in touch with Meziere on a release date as well.

I don't care who comes out with the unit first, but whoever does will get my order!

 

I'm in! wonder if the battery in the trunk would be a problem? I wouldn't run it with the car off...

 

I'm in for one.

 

Me too. Assuming it will work with the C5R 427.

 

Is this pump carried by SDPC race only or the street version you guys are talking about?

Anyone know if there's a chance the Jay Fisher/Joe Prince EWP will be out before the Meziere unit?

 

I'm in.

JPR has built several pumps already and is ready to go into full production when this clears up.
