I am curious Barny. How are you going to adapt this to
the three rotor?

Paul,

Wrong model.  Looked at alot of stuff, some after market that could be

done

if you really wanted to do an eshaft mount. Too easy to screw up seals

and

bearings.

Meziere's 55 gph ewp doesn't have alot of flow with a 12 pounds of

head

pressure.  It was so bad it erased right out of my memory. A one rotor

would

run hot...

Looking at the model WP 430 series with their wn -24 fittings. Go to
http://www.meziere.com/ and look at page 17 of the E catalog.

Performance

is on page 18. Couldn't find the weight in my notes. It is alot

lighter than

the stock 20b water pump.

One of the things about building a fairly large plane is the stuff you

can

carry. Plan on carrying a spare alternator, wp, plugs, coil, accessory

type

of stuff.  You should see what I carry in the back of our 300,000+

mile

Subaru.

Their web site does not appear to work with my browser as I saw no

pictures.

Can you capture a picture for me and upload it?

Where are you going to feed two AN pump outlet lines into the three rotor

block?

This pump still has a sharp right angle turn going into the impeller.

They claim it is the same as their Chevy pump. Do they claim their

mechanical Chevy

pump is any better flow wise than anybody else's Chevy pump? There must be

at least

a half a dozen on the after market.

The existence of these Meziere mechanical pumps is a tacit admission the

electrical

pumps were not worth a damn for anything other than ten seconds in a drag
car :)

What is a wn -24 fitting?

Paul Lamar

   Paul,

  I was told by the guy on the phone that the hose barb fitting can be
eliminated and use the two AN-24 fittings for flow in and out.

WN-24 fittings are AN-24 fittings  for that particular model.

He was wrong. The water goes in at the center of the impeller and goes
out at the periphery.
