    I've watched all your videos and I've been modeling my modifications of my B8 S5 to your S4. Now that CSF has a replacement rad., I'd love to see a video of that upgrade and your results. Just as important is if your shop would allow you to do a vid on the install. Keep up the great work!

      @@dtrywets6266 Distilled water and OEM g13 coolant concentrate. You can get the concentrate from the parts department at a dealer. Do a little math to get the 80/20 mix. Or whatever mix you want. But if you have to deal with freezing Temps, I would run a 60/40 mix to be safe. If garaged, a 70/30 might be fine.

    I was looking at the instructions for the CWA-100, it says “ that in some vehicles” the pump may need one of the wire’s cut so it can always perform at 100%.
    Now would you recommend that I cut the wire or? Also mine is the B8.5 motor

    Great Video! Interested to see how much change there will be with the 3/4 inch tubing.
    Do you think it's worth getting this pump if I'm just stage 1 at the moment? I do live I Texas however, so it's 38°c here regularly. Still on OEM heat exchanger.

    • @VancityAudi
      @VancityAudi  3 года назад +3

      Start off with the heat exchanger. That should be your first upgrade... period.

  • @1bads5
    @1bads5 Год назад

    Theoretically speaking...Do you feel that a larger external 1 gallon resovior would provide more cooling for a pass vs the pump? Trying to figure out the most beneficial next mod... these 95° days are killing me.

    • @VancityAudi

    Maybe im a bit late but over here in Germany we have never came to the Idea to change the Waterpump for a stronger one. Sounds Interesting. Do you have the Links for the parts that you have used? I have found a replacement Pump from merc racing but what about these 3/4 inch tubes? Where Can i get ones with good performance? And have you replaced all the coolant lines that goes from the waterpump to the Supercharger and heat exchanger?

    • @VancityAudi
      @VancityAudi  2 года назад

      Near the end of this video I show everything we removed and where the 3/4 inch tube was installed: ruclips.net/video/2vvh9_OKKUk/видео.html
      The tube was simply purchased from a local car repair shop, nothing fancy.

    i watched this video again and I have a question: once installed and running (6.27 in the video) you talk about how its at 64%, 80%. Is that refering to the pumps capacity? And will the ECU naturally take advantage of the pump ability to move more fluid or does some tuning need to be done?

    • @VancityAudi
      @VancityAudi  2 года назад

      That's referring to the pump's duty cycle. I was simply running a test when I was showing multiple percentages. When the car is on and running, it always runs at 99% I believe.

    Great video, I've had CWA100 for a couple of years and its a great little pump. I'll be interested to see if you get a fault code with the pump, it could be the later versions fixes that but it has no impact on the performance. Is your system divorced? if not are you looking at doing that? One advantage is being able to run more water and water wetter during the summer but adds a maintenance to replace coolant for winter.

    • @VancityAudi
      @VancityAudi  3 года назад

      Yes, I have the same code. There is no feedback so that code is expected. The system is not divorced. We still aren't sure whether or not we'll be going that route or not.

      When you're wanting to get every drop of performance out of your car it's absolutely worth it. One of, if not the biggest performance losses in these cars are the IAT's being way too hot and your car loses massive amounts of power.
