[QUOTE="HooperWest, post: 14443492, member: 118729"] [ATTACH=full]604244[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]604245[/ATTACH] Well my last track day saw the bottle breach again, I tried recommendations in regard to water/coolant ratios and reduction of total coolant amount and both were not successful at keeping the preverbal lid on the bottle, after 4 or 5 laps, overheating and significant frothing of the coolant continue. This new pump is a beast and the entry into the bottle on the return is so volatile that the coolant continues to get aerated and hot, eventually stops performing, then boils out around the Cap and makes a mess...:shrug: After looking at the 2013 GT500 Fiche it is clear that the routing is very different on the newer cars, the Reservoir is also smaller in the 2013+ set up, but I don't think the fact that I have Van's oversize reservoir, has anything to do with my problem. It is just flowing too fast and probably not even remaining in the intercooler long enough during the circulation. Moving forward, I was thinking a variable speed switch on the pump may work and it's flow could simply be turned down a bit, the other solution, suggested by Tob, is one of his bypass set ups, a more complicated solution that may require some fabricated parts. All opinions, on a possible solution are welcome, as I have to get this sorted and going to start a fix this week. Does the variable speed switch make sense? [/QUOTE]
