Looks like this top gives the Koolance one a thorough thrashing
Gotta say it is quite impressive.
Any chance of Petras selling these through their community showcase?

The XS WCG team needs your support.
A good project with good goals.
Come join us,get that warm fuzzy feeling that you've done something good for mankind.
Were might I procure this. Pardon me if this has been asked already.
Whats up?
Thanks you!
Sorry I am so lazy =)
Whats up?
while performance is certainly increased using this top, it still doesn't make the d5 a logical choice over the mcp355+TOP
I like the addition of the isolation mounts. That's a nice touch. Everybody already knows I like Delrin. Looks very nice on the machine work too. Very smooth and no grooves. Looks like that thing kicks it up a notch. Especially at full performance speed.
Actually, I think you might want to look over the data on both of those two pumps with tops. With exception to the XSPC tops, the D5 with Detroit Thermo top is on par with the DCC3.2 + top grouping, its definitely right in the hunt for the average restriction range.
Who knows, we might see some comparison data on this very matter sometime in the future.
Finnaly a D5 top which you can mount on a (UN) Design bracket

I picked one up along with some DD FatBoy barbs. We'll see how it does!

Great review Skinnee! Your pictures put mine to shame
Are you still waiting for parts to test the EK and Typhoon?
You see what you did there? You got between me and the coffee, now this creates a SITUATION!
Cannot wait to try mine out....Come on stupid mail system! I like the fact of it having one inlet and outlet without having to resort to a stop plug that gets in the way of compression fittings. Plus being able to use the stock mount or a more stylish mount where the others you simply cannot. This top was well thought out and good review Skinnee!
Awesome review, thanks for all the work and time in testing!
The photos and full curve data is perfect!!
The strong performance doesn't surprise me, it's really squeezing every last drop from the D5 with that sharp cutting edge and sprial shaped volute. Every last design element was all about performance, that's the way it ought to be..
I still have a sample here I never got around to testing. If someone else wants a go at putting some effort into testing this, let me know. I'll forward the sample on to you...
Thanks!
Martin
