I guess I did check it at first but not after the pump replacement. It's possible it burnt the fuse when I was hot-wiring the pump to do a burp. By the way, I was able to burp the pump by just squeezing the line with my hand and watching the fluid go into to the reserve tank. It was very easy once I put a battery on the pump.

 

The ic bosh pump is referred to as the number 10 can anyone give me the full Part number? I Bought one from euro import And the numbers aren't matching up to what the website says will fit my car. When I first bought it I spoke to a rep who assured me this was the correct pump I don't think so Thanks 2005 SRT six Roadster

Thanks I appreciate it! The pump just looks rather small but I guess I'll be good to go

 

Not to worry. It's a super efficient pump. They use the same pump for the intercooler on the SL65 AMG twin-turboed SOHC 36-valve 6.0-liter V12 that cranks out 621 hp and 738 lb-ft torque.

 

Nervous newbie here. JUST purchased my SRT6. 23K on the odometer. Time to change the ICP, as I can feel it go limp when gassed too hard. I bought the Bosch, so I shouldn't need to monkey with the bracket or drill a hole (as seen in the how-to-pdf). By the way, I know the Johnson gets big points, but I went with the Needswings site for the Bosch and separator kit. Hoping to not have to replace the thing in another 25K, but nervous about overpush of fluid.

Sooo... why I'm here: I see a lot of references in the forum to soldering when it comes to the connection wires. Is that necessary, or will crimping, sleeving, and taping work? If absolutely recommended, I've got a friend who's got the soldering set up. Also, while I'm in there would be the best time to install the fluid separator. Can someone give me a quick breakdown on hints, fluid types, and rough fluid replacement amounts? Finally, about how long should this entire evolution take? I'm thinking as a newbie, about 4-5 hours.

 

Since you bought the Bosch pump, there shouldn't be any soldering involved - the new style has the same connector as the original does - it's plug and play.

As far as the separator is concerned - I haven't installed one, so someone else will have to chime in on that.

Good luck!!

I did the separation, it took a couple of hours. The fluid should all be changed when you do this, who knows how old the fluid is. Change pump, I have to do that, but can't see it taking more than an hour. So I'd say your total for all these three tasks is 4-5 hours.
Here is the fluid. Only use HOAT fluid, anything else will be regretted by you.

Hey, I really appreciate the lowdown. I have to note how insanely awesome SRT6 owners are to other owners on this forum. Thanks a ton. Everyone has consistently been amazingly helpful and nice. I can see it's more than just the car, and that's fantastic.

 

Oh, GREAT news, brah. Great news. I was a bit concerned about my soldering capability. Feeling super relieved that I don't need the pigtail. Many mahalos, RL.
