MIR of bust!!!!
finding the right place to mount is the hardest part; I used a double ended NPT I found at HD, One end fits in the tank, the other directly in the pump.. it worked out really well. I may need more support for the pump; just haven´t gotten around to working on it yet. Iĺl send a few pics tomorrow. My camera battery is dead right now.
Rob from Chiseled is making me a new 3 gallon tank so i can fit the jabsco pump in the spare tire well too. If anyone is looking for a tank, i'll be selling my 17x17x5 tank once i swap it out. There is no pump in it.
My Rule 850 is still going strong in conjunction with the stocker in the stock location.
One of VMPs customer has a Jabsco pump on his car with the stock tank.
It flows extremely well. It almost seems to fast but with a trunk tank is should do well with the volume of water and distances it has to travel.
The Rule 850 is an in-tank pump like the 1100 right? interesting that the 850 is lasting longer than the 1100's. I was going to buy a new 1100 on amazon but looked at the reviews. Seems they're not reliable like the other Rule pumps.
I found it pretty cool that the company my brother works for, ITT owns the Jabsco brand. They own Koni shock absorbers too. They recently split though. My brother works in the defense sector. Guess the investors didn't want to be attached to it even though it brought in most of the money.
Heres a picture I just took of the tank, I painted it black, it looks a lot cleaner to me. And the jabsco pump directly attached. I´ll finish this up by mounting a support bracket under it. The tank also has rubber between the 4 mount points.
I added some clear 3/4 tube on the in and out sides,and a cover handle.
Hey, that tank looks familiar! .... Oh yeah, itś mine! take a picture so we can see what yours looks like. I would suggest a section of clear tube so you can see the flow in and out. you want to have fluid on that pump all the time. Did you notice a big increase in flow?
The pump does make a little buzzing noise,but I dont have it mounted to the deck, so I think mine may not be as loud..The fuel pumps drown out the sound of the Jabsco pump
Correct. The Rule 850 is an in tank pump.
I would have gone with the 1100 but it wouldn't fit in my home made tank.
Maybe that was a good thing?
Maybe your brother can get a great deal the the Jabsco pump?
i read all nine pages but what is the verdict?? Is the trunk mount tank better than battery mount box?? If the trunk mount is best choice do i want 1) in tank pump? 2) if yes, which model? 3) if no, again which model? Are people running with in conjunction with the factory pump?

You want to use an external pump like the jabsco or Meizer pump. The intank rule pumps have been known to fail. Some get lucky but alot has had failures.
As far as a trunk mounted tank may I ask why your looking for one. Are you planning on racing at the track alot? If your not and just want cooler I/C temps get a KC.
On another note engine bay reservoirs will absorb engine bay temps and a K/C in conjunction with a trunk mount properly insulated could work better.
Check out my thread. I will be going with a K/C in the future and have started to insulate everything. Should help alot when I get my K/C.

i just went through the hassle of mounting the meziere pump in the stock location..and now want to get a chisseled 5 gallon trunk tank. can i leave the pump where its at up front? is there a any benefit to moving it in the trunk closer to the tank?
its a closed line system why would the pump work harder by being up front? it has to push/pull the water from the intercooler...heat exhcanger and tank regardless of where its located no?
you would think that since it is a close system it would work. I thought the same, but it does help to have the pump as close to the tank and lower.
The extra length of feed hose from the tank to the front mounted pump will create suction losses and will not work as efficiently.
