[QUOTE="P49Y-CY, post: 3433067, member: 10216"] it is not that i necessarily want to do this (or right away at least :-D ) but i wanted to open it up for discussion mainly because i read this on the roush engineering website and was intrigued: WATER PUMP The Ford GT water pump utilizes a front inlet design to achieve the flow rate required to maintain cooling capacity during extended maximum engine power conditions. Preliminary calculations indicated that the cooling system would require a coolant flow rate upwards of 100 gpm to support extended operation at maximum power output. The current Modular design is a rear inlet pump fed by a side inlet at the left front of the engine block (See Figure 21). While this design optimizes packaging, it creates a flow separation through the block prior to the pump as well as water temperature rise as the water passes in front of the #5 water jacket thus pre-heating the water. The front inlet GT design eliminates these restrictions with a gentle transitioning inlet neck that minimizes flow separation as it feeds water into the eye of the pump impeller for distribution to the water jackets (See Figure 22). Figure 21. Coolant streamlines with side block entry Figure 22. Coolant streamlines of front entry pump The GT pump also utilizes a full-vane cast pump impeller with vanes designed to generate maximum pressure while minimizing power consumption (see Figure 23). While the existing pump uses a stamped steel “half vane” impeller, the GT team decided to utilize a cast impeller to reduce vane flexing while allowing for a compound vane geometry over a flat, stamped vane. The GT pump generates up to 110 gallons per minute peak flow and approximately a 10 psi pressure increase over current designs at peak operation. links are [URL=http://www.roushind.com/news_downloads/tech_papers/2004-01-1252.pdf]HERE[/URL] and [URL=http://www.roushind.com/news_downloads/tech_papers/2004-01-1257.pdf]HERE[/URL] :beer: [/QUOTE]
