Boot installation and primer pumps.

[keithmac]

I`ve seen a few installs on here with the ERL pump in the boot, is there any disadvantage with having shuch a long line from the pump to the jet?

Also if the pump is directly under the water bottle is there a need to have a priming pump at all? will it lenghten the service life of the ERL pump?

My system will comprise of 1 jet to start, will a priming pump fitted shift more water (say for a meduim sized jet?).

I`ll be running a decent guage wire to the back if the car to supply enough power, just the lenght of the delivery pipe worries me.

Cheers

Hi keithmac,

I've got the same sort of setup, on a twinturbo v6, the good thing about having a long pipe is that you don't need an accumulator(the length of the pipe is the accumulator) to get the extra flow you get from one.

I run a heavy guage wire also, the priming pump enables the erl pump to shift more water up to ~600ml , instead of 330ml stock or ~360ml with accumulator, but your not using more than 330ml then priming pump is not needed with pump under tank.

Cheers for the avice, I think I`ll start with no primer and go from there, 300ml is probably more than enough for what I need.
