ShurFlo vs. Aquamist Pump...

[MidEngine4Life]

I had a Aquamist 2D kit currently, but from a lot of stuff I've read/seen (also from the DSM yahoo water injection board) it seems like the SHurFlo pump can outflow the aquamist with ease. Not to mention it costs a lot less than an aquamist pump!

For anyone who's use both, what's your experience? I've personally had more problems with my aquamist pump than I'd like to admit and doubt its durability.

I haven't seen many closeup pics of the shurflo pump but does anyone know if it uses the same in/out fittings? Or has anyone swapped in a ShurFlo pump into their Aquamist kit?

Here's the one I use. Note that it does not require a check valve unlike the right up. The internal bypass has a crack pressure of 100psi, so it constantly maintains a 100psi while valve is closed. The flowrates are on the table. I've used it for over a year and it's still going strong.

I use the PiNZ system

It uses a dyaphram pump that is over engineered for the job, it can run dry without over heating and can flow substantially more than you need right up to 100psi, for high volume requirements you are best off using multiple nozzels rather than a big nozzel to keep the spray as fine as possible.

Some people have used the system to inject as well as spray externally on the intercooler. The system has fault detection so can be used to switch to a low boost if there is no water pressure.

Guys, if you want a high flow system, read this:

The way my setup is now, it'd be very hard to use my stock windshield washer pump to prime the system. So I'd have to add something in. For the people who can't read schematics too well, what exactly are all those parts?

That PiNZ system looks pretty good. 2000cc/min with no accumalator's impressive! :shock:

We will soon make the little circuit board in a small box for any one who needs it under 10 dollars.

How did you get your 1/4 water line to fit your aquamist 6mm or 4mm spray jets :?:

So back to the original question , how does the shurflow compare ? . My aquamist pump died and I am looking at integrating anoyher pump into the rest of the system, and the cost is VERY attractive. :?: :roll: :?

A shurflo pump delivers:
part no: 8030-813 239



5.4L/min at 80 psi @ 9.1A
3.8L/min at 120 psi @ 10.9A
3.3L/min at 140 psi @11.7A

An Aquamist pump:
0.30L/min @ 96psi [/img]

For the intersest of all on this board - would you like to tell us what actually happened to your aquamist pump, problem and durability? Please!

It will really help other aquamist user to avoid future problems
