I have been reading thru a ton of links and forums that cover a wide range of ideas of what works and what doesn’t.
I was going to bring in some quotes but I would rather not rehash those posts.
Instead I would like to see what the general consensus is on these types of modifications.
For example:
I read about users with similar full hydro systems. (orbital valve/cylinder/reservoir)
(A) I find people running an unmodified pump.
(B) And then I read about others that needed to mod the pump for more flow.
(C) And still others found it necessary to run a Vendor pump.
I would like to start with a question that I have not seen answered.
Do all P style pumps run the same internals and the modifications we apply are nothing more than what is done from the factory when the pump is to be used for a particular application?
Next: What are the modifications being performed and what are the expected results? I see a wide range of practices and ideas here.
Can you perform one mod and not affect the other aspects of the pump?
Ex. Can you gain more pressure and not affect flow? Or gain more flow and not affect pressure? Is there a trade off?
What are the limits? (Real world results)
Flow rates
Pressure
Life expectancy (heat)
