Hi!
Sure I replied you few days ago!
We ship worldwide and we have enough stocks...:up:

Gotta love the hands on support that comes with being an XS member.
any other retailers?
And decent performance gains yet?
could you use the other hole to put in a fillport tube? that would be godly.
oh man! I gotta buy one of these! well 2 actually ;)
hmm I want to see performance gain first.
Any more news or performance figures?
I can't wait to see the charts, looks like there are finaly some tops coming our way. The area flowing the the output side looks nie and smooth. I remember someone posted a while ago about porting the stock top for the D5, a little bore and chamfer did show some performance gains, hopefully this top works similarly.
I like the 2 threaded holes underneath the top.
Will make it easier for people to mount this without that annoying stock piece.
yeah, I think I care less about performance than I do about convenience of a new top. I hate that I have to use a Tee in order to get a fillport line connected to my system. it would be much easier to plug the fill port line and the loop line in the top. it would make everything much cleaner and save a LOT of room.
We just need Martin to give those a whirl on his test bench :)
@Eddy K- Any chance of an acrylic one?
This is awesome!
I'd love to see graphs and charts though :cool:
Who actually makes these pumps? I have seen 3 different brands of the same ( in appearance ) pump. The third was bosch. I don't remember where, I think I stumbled into an aquarium pumps are better , but heat dump is higher debate.
It looks like you are getting some very good gains by changing the design of the volute, but the impeller design seems to be key in any major improvements. I believe MadMaxx said it first in this thread. Take a look at any of the centrifugal supercharger systems available today. The volute stays the same (for a given size ) It's the impeller that changes. If they want a street blower with a decent output at a lower rpm through a high rpm they will use a strait blade design ,like the d5 or mcp655 impeller. If they after a race blower they will use a curved blade design. This will give a better high rpm output (pressure due to restriction) while sacrificing output at a lower rpm that is meaningless for the application. My understanding of the way air flows under pressure is very similar to the way fluid flows. I could be making some broad generalizations here, but these are my thoughts.
So the question is will the d5\mcp655 be able to handle the additional load of a curved impeller and could it be replaced?
I see many of you here with the ability to actually produce products and perform R&D on those products that I'm unable to do. As I said these are just my thoughts, if I am not correct in my thinking please tell me why. I am new to this forum and to water cooling in general. I've only built 2 WC system, and do not wish to be the putz that shoots his mouth off about things he knows nothing about.
I'm curious to here your opinions
Laing is the manufacturer...

And from backend of same thread...
Your thoughts are correct...Quote:
billbartuska: Sooooo......
Which pumps have a high efficiency and why is that good for WCing?

bobo5195: Well designed centrifugal pump with curved blades. I.e what you normally have but curve the blades.
Being well made matters more. Woudl really question 50% though, is that including drive/IC.
No point going 3D with water pumps as not benefit
Thanks Marci, that looks like the thread.
I want one of these, increased performance or not.
I would like to see if the third port on top could be used as a fill port like in a T line
