In a previous post I mounted the intercooler pump with a 3D-printed bracket. I thought about converting the barbed outlet to an AN fitting, but the cap is plastic and I couldn’t come up with a reliable solution. Mega-priced supercars use silicon hose and hose clamps so I guess that it would be OK to use them in this one place LOL.
The intercooler pump outlet’s OD is 20 mm and the stainless steel tube running to the front of the is -10 (i.e., 5/8” or 15.9 mm). To resolve the mismatch a barbed adapter was machined on a lathe from a solid stainless steel rod. This adapter will be welded to the stainless steel hard line once the line is ceramic coated and the insulation sleeve is slid on.
The angle between the pump outlet and the stainless steel tube that runs down the side pod is 112 degrees. After lots of research the closest elbow I could find was a 19 mm ID, 120-degree silicon elbow.
