More powerful washer pump?


Recommended Posts

Yes, this is going to sound a little ridiculous, but its been bugging me. I have a CAI installed on my GTP, so I've removed the stock washer reservoir and replaced it with a 3rd Gen F-body reservoir mounted behind my bumper cover in the center. It happens to use the same pump as the GTP IIRC. I had to obviously use a longer hose for the washer fluid and I'm not getting good pressure. In fact when it sprays I get about halfway up the windshield. Any one have any suggestions on how I could fix this? I was thinking maybe some other GM car had a particularly powerful pump I could put in its place...

if you modify the nozzle to have a smaller opening, it will push the fluid farther when it shoots out...

 

you could always use a smaller diameter hose as well...

I say weak pump. I had a chevy venture that had a frozen hose, so i pulled the hose off of the pump and no joke it sprayed like 15 feet up in the air lol. I was in a shop. It was the rear washer pump for a chevy venture.

I'm with them... I have the same reservoir in my car and don't have any pressure issues.

Does anyone have a picture or part number for swapping in the third generation F-Body washer fluid reservoir?

This came from I think a kia spectra, it had the pump in the bottom and fit well inside the fender, but I did have to relocate my vacuum ball. It shares that fender with the ugly ass cruise control box that's been banished to the fender as well.

You would just go to the junkyard and get it, although I'm not sure of it being from a 3rd gen. It was the 4th gen that had it in the bumper. Check the upload. It comes in Camaros from 1993-2002.
