I just got this data on the KSE H.P.D. water pump that Jim
Mederer is using on the Racing Beat 900 HP turbo three
rotors. There are pictures of it on the ACRE NL web site.

I have no idea what the upper curve is as
I can find no reference to it in the KSE catalog. Perhaps
it is a stock Chevy small block pump. It is nice however
to see flow as a function of pressure. The middle
curve is the one for the H.P.D. pump.

I wish we had such a curve for the stock Mazda pump.

We will, but probably later than sooner. (A bit of Bill Clinton humor.)
I have to get an appropriate guinea pig on the dyno, and get something
(Other than a bucket.) to measure the flow.  Now that I mention it, does
anyone have an appropriate flowmeter that could be borrowed for this
test?  A new piece will cost several hundred dollars.

How about just a variable restricter (valve) on the outlet side Paul?
Anybody have a spare  pump they can send me. I can set it up on the
lathe. If somebody else could do that I would appreciate as I am running
out of spare time.
