Default DIY inductor calculations

anyone know how to find PSI ratings of pumps/powerheads, and know of how to calculate inductor specs for the PSI rating?

I know to build an inductor properly, you need to know the diameter of the output, and it's PSI, to calculate the inductor's size and such properly. anyone know anything about this?

I found some good info on thereeftank.org

I'm going to hold off on it, because I learned the backpressure on my mag 7 would only cause lower flow, not higher flow.

You have to have a pressure rated pump for Inductors to be useful......I use Poisidon PS4 pumps for my inductors!!
