i got 6 batteries, and i need new pumpheads and all new motors in my setup,

my question is, should i be gettin pumpheads geared to be ran at 36 volts? or should i step up and run 72 volts? and what size pumpheads would be recomended for either voltage?

and what motors should i be buying from what company? cause they all look the same to me..

thanks

What do you want to do. Do you want to hop or just go up and down.

i want to hop... but not crazy, i just want to quit the chippin, im puttin 4 ton coils up front and 3 ton in back, the cars a street/show vehicle and i like to play with it... i forgot to mention its a 4 pump setup, and i cant run marzocci heads on the blocks i got.

Will Rockfords fit that block?? What block ya got??

mat seely · 09-26-2002, 03:40 PM

i dunno if rockfords will fit.. in fact this is the first time i have heard of the name rockford..

the blocks i got are the luxor aluminum ones...

and i know what your gonna say... luxor is gay...

but they have 2 mounting holes and bolt up the same as nearly all blocks that arent marzocci...

but where do i go to research rockford products??

if the blocks only got 2 holes for the pumpheads ,then you are not using rockfods or marz. they wont bolt up effectively...
i say run 2 banks of 36 volts. have 1 bank running your left front, and right rear. have the other bank running, the right front and left rear. that way when you hit the front or back up , each motor is only getting 36 volts, but they aint sharing.... you see?

mat seely · 09-26-2002, 05:05 PM

yeah thats how i got my banks setup right now...

still.. i ask then what motors are the best to be buying.. because all of them look exactly the same.. but have different prices, and some claim to be "comp" motors, yet they appear to be the same as the "street" motors?

can the block be drilled and helicoiled to fit a marz?.... i got a showtime pump and it has four bolts in the upper holes.... i'm really thinking about drilling and tapping them ...did showtime do this for anyreason other than to save money?

I had a similar question like this..........I got the prohopper anniversary kit and I was wondering if it would be alright to wire the motors it comes with at 60 volts. I got the rack for 4 pumps and 10 batts and I was gonan put 2 and 10 in for now. I was wondering if that would be alright for those gears and motors. The CCAs are only 700 on my batts so I dont think it would be to bad. <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
