I'd be interested in seeing before and after H-Q curves for this thing. Also, I think that the discharge needs to be more off centre from the impellor axis (just look at the housing that came with the pump... I think your goal should be to reproduce the inside of the original housing exactly, only in copper). Good luck with your build... seems like an interesting concept.

That's that I'm doing basicly, copying the impeller housing as best I can in copper, the factory housing has the outlet in the centre so I'm copying that too.
I don't ecpect it to pump as well as it originally did, I'd be happy if it pumped 100GPH, it's the turbulence I'm after, afterall, I's a simple procedure to hook up an external pump and see if the impeller turbulence has anny effect or not.
