Calling Bobkat and other LS conversion Experts, Electric Water Pump , Toyota Radiator and thermostat routing Options

[pdlightning]

I know it has been listed before, but time has passed and I needed clarification from the experts that have already completed their conversions.

I am using a Meziere 55 GPM pump on my LS conversion and remember comments that a Toyota Supra or similiar car radiator was utilized .My questions are as follows:

Which Meziere pump is best and how was the thermostat handled since it is removed with the stock pump? Am I close to remembering the Toyota Supra radiator? (Thanks Andy)

Also, I received the attached response from Meziere and wondered if someone had a water routing diagram to help in designing the system .


We do sell the WP316 water pump and others for the conversions. In the typical LS remote water pump you would run the 2 lines coming out of the pump go to the two lower ports on the front of the engine. The two upper port normally tee into 1 line at the engine and the thermostat would go in this line returning to the radiator. (Thanks to Jerry from Meziere)

Thanks to all for your continued support and guidance!

On my LS conversion I used a Dodge belt driven nascar engine water pump. I modified this to mount remote on the LS engine. This is a pump made by stewart.

On the front for the air intake I took out the rubber plugs in the holes and cut this area.
I then used a GT front valance and cut the matching opening in the front bumper.
I'm not using the Toyota Celica radiator but feel like it would work fine.

Meziere can sell you all the parts you need to install their pump on the LS engine.
