Hi guys

The pumps that I am aware of are:

I do not remember the pulley size on our alternator. I can remember ordering it from the Eastern States of Aust. 
I’ve put it on my todo list to measure when I’m at the hangar, possibly Sunday.

If I could be assured of the reliability of the latest water pumps I’d go with electric and get the benefits of modulating the pump speed for automatic temp control at cruise.
The cowl flap gives some control but it can still get too cold in cooler weather.

Cheers
Steve

Steve,
What company in New Zealand had this stuff? What dia pulley and where from on alternator? Inquiring minds want the specs?

On the Renesis I’ve put a race pump on to ‘reportedly’ reduce cavitation as the basic pump is reported to cavitate at the rpm’s we operate in during take off.
When I took out a restrictor in the return to the radiator on one flight tamper went up considerably and I reasoned this was caused by cavitation.
In response I purchased a race pump from New Zealand.

My water pump is running at OEM speed, but I slowed my alternator with a larger pulley.

Hi : What is the optimum waterpump rpm for the 13B as i can modify the
pulley diameter and ratio’s for my set - up The data i have is that at the standard ratio is 1:1.18  at 6500 rpm for the 13B the pump flo is round about 150 - 160 L per minute.
So my question: If i run on 6500 rpm for take off then the waterpump impellor turns 6500 x 1.18 ???
Must i put on a bigger diameter pully on the pump for a flo of round about 100 L per minute.?
Don’t know  ?

If somebody can help me with that
