[QUOTE="Tob, post: 14161482, member: 83412"] I'm not so sure about that Sam. There is a [I]ton of data[/I] out there to disseminate with respect to "efficiency" or the ability to remove heat at a specific rate (or variable rate). I look forward to having a more detailed understanding. I'm still trying to play catchup and at least provide some data on the hardware, let alone even begin to discuss how effective each may be, as well as some of the other pumps out there. So let me start by sharing the rest of the hardware that was delivered to me yesterday. I received one of VMP's [URL="http://vmptuning.com/07-12-gt500-cooling/13pumpkit/"]"2013 Intercooler Pump Installation kits for 07-12"[/URL] GT500's. This won't be going on my car but I've spoken with the gentleman who will be putting it on his car and have asked him to share his install/observations with us here in this thread. Here's the contents of Justin's kit... [ATTACH=full]575028[/ATTACH] To begin with is a factory Ford pigtail that plugs right into the pump connector, made in Mexico. [ATTACH=full]575029[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]575030[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]575031[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]575032[/ATTACH] Note that there are only two wires in this harness yet the pump uses a four prong connector (also note the numbers)... [ATTACH=full]575033[/ATTACH] The other end of the factory pigtail... [ATTACH=full]575034[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]575035[/ATTACH] The pump end connector snaps into place with precision... [ATTACH=full]575036[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]575037[/ATTACH] VMP supplies an extension harness that plugs into the factory Ford pigtail as well as the harness on the vehicle... [ATTACH=full]575038[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]575039[/ATTACH] I don't know why VMP supplied two Adel clamps because it looks as if you can only use one at a time. [ATTACH=full]575040[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]575041[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]575042[/ATTACH] In that last photo above I had tightly wrapped the clamp around the rubber gasket that comes installed on the pump. The ends looked to be a bit apart but that may very well have been Justin's intent for a tight wrap. Hopefully he or BJ can chime in here. This should give you a pretty good idea of the hardware at play here. I touched on it earlier - the pin count. It looks as if the Ford pump will be wired to be on/off and that the PWM function won't be taken advantage of. It's been mentioned and its my fault for not stating as such but I don't intend to test any number of pumps. There's enough data out there already. It's simply a matter of ensuring that the data is compared on the same scale, which may not be so simple. If you're itching for data, Lingenfelter did some pretty comprehensive testing that you can find via a simple Google search. I also found a tech-rich thread on a Mercedes Benz forum.
