Try here. There are other places as well here on the Vendors Marketplace that you can check. They pretty easy to change.

Re: intercooler pumps

Everyone here says go with the johnson or Shur-flo. which is about 2.8 gallons Per Min. but after reading a few books on turbocharging, Maximum boost by corky bell, Turbocharging (old book) and one on super, nitrous, and turbocharging, they all say the same 3 things. an Air/Water NEEDS a resivour, it's not an option to not have it, best yet it will hold enough so the water only makes one pass in 15 seconds. the CCHE is the LEAST important part, and 1 Sq. Ft is more than sufficiant. the larger the resivour the less important the CCHE. and the I/C pump should be a MINIMUM of 10gpm. (one hell of a far cry from the Shur-flo). Basicly a porperly setup Air/water is far superior to an air to air in every respect except if your doing endurance racing. water will conduct 14x the heat from the IC than air will, and a Water IC is working imediatly, air/air doesn't do chit till your up to 40mph at least. and straight water is best, add just enough antifreeze to keep it from freezing, or be sure to drain it before it freezes/winter storage.
I picked up a 4 gallon fuel cell from summit for 90 bucks (went kinda large, was the smallest they had, want to be able to pour a bag of ice straight into it), a 750 GPH (12.5GPM) bilge pump from a marina for 40 bucks, and some hose/fittings for another 30 bucks, it's going in today i'll let ya know my results later tonight :tup:

Re: intercooler pumps

well wrapped the IC in some heat sheilding from summit (17.xx) must be workin, truck just sat for 20 min and the water in the IC is still cool. drove it around for about an hr, in stop and go IAT's were around 115, on the freeway @65 down to 108, and from 0 to 100 started at 115 and ended up at 130 at 100mph, no alky 17psi, fairly stock tune, 2* kr max. definatly IMHO a more than worth wile mod. i loaded up my high boost/alky program and had almost identical results (went up to 135*) pushing 21psi and 17.xx deg timing with 1-2* kr on the shifts, 0 druing the run, probably going to up it a little. this is gonna be fun later :) drain some water out of the resivour and fillit with ice :tup: i'll let ya know thursday after the track how that turns out :D

Re: intercooler pumps

There is a fuse behind the alternator for the IC pump, check to see if that is blown first. If you replace the fuse and it blows again, your pump is seized and must be replaced.
