Im putting together my first wc rig and im a little stuck on the pump part. So far my setup is going to go something like this:
chevette heater core--$16 from local auto store
swiftech mcw5000 OR maze3--$48-$53
tygon 1/2" tubing--$10-$15
various other stuff (parts to make reservior, etc.)--~$15
Now, im a little stuck on the pump. Im looking to spend about $150 and i seem to be on track right now. So more flow is better, but how much performance gain am I going to see by shelling out $80+ for the Eheim 1250? Is it really worth it? How are the quality of some of the other pumps? Maxijet, etc. I saw this swiftech pump that puts out 330 GPH at www.frozencpu.com for $60 and is rather compact. I was wondering if any of you guys had any experience with this particular pump, if its reliable I'll probably buy that. Anyway, thanks in advance.
