But yeah, if you know how much presure drop there is for each part and a general idea of what the pump can do you should be able to put together a decent system. This has been a project in the works around here for ever now. Just not easy to do because of so many combinations of components.

now that's what i'm talkin about. each block creates a certain amount of pressure drop as does bends in the tubing, etc. now if you eliminate (or make negligible) the tubing as a flow restrictor (using a small amount of tubing) you can get a general idea of the restriction you can expect from each block.
yea covering every block there is would be no small task but covering the main blocks would be nice, like the Swiftech, DangerDen and Cathar parts and maybe a few other popular designs like some NexXxos blocks or something. it would make it MUCH easier to determine necessary head pressure.
also, i realize that this data is only somewhat useful, because certain blocks (like the G4 and TDX) require powerful pumps to get the most out of the block, which is why the dTvsQ graphs exist. but by providing the pressure drop with the review you can get a general idea of how much flow is NECESSARY (although not optimal) for running a certain loop. this type of measurement would be ideal for people looking for a silent system, rather than high performance, as they would be able to pick a low power pump based on the pressure drop of each component in the loop.
