Talking Re: CHEAP Intercooler Pump & Better then the CM30
I believe that the resistor in question is in fact a DIODE with the band - striped end on the + lead. That would make electrical sense.

The fluid circuit determines the flow as much as the pump. If there is a lot of restriction, the flow will be limited. Flow is a combination of the pumps psi at a given flow and the restriction of the circuit, ie the resistance in the piping.

Iam here to tell you that intercooler leaks are not caused by the pump, its the static pressure when hot. People that have done the Brian Black separation of the IC cooling circuit from the engine have almost no pressure on the IC while the motor and main radiator have like 15-20+ psi EVERY time the motor heats up, and like an accordian, the metal flexes and stresses the IC welds and parent materials.

Enjoy Woody BTW I drilled my cap so I can run the engine at ZERO psi when hot if the cap is loose. I run with the cap loose.....................
