Anyone Know The Diameters Of The Elbows?

Recommended Posts

I need some help here to finish researching the stage 0 GB hose kit.

I need to find out the sizes of the stock or Samco elbows so I can figure out how many of each size of t-bolt clamps are needed.

If I cannot find out this information the GB will not happen. So if you have access to a Samco hose kit that you have not installed yet, or have the stock hoses laying around, I need exact diamater measurements of each elbow please.

Slater, I used 10 - 50-70mm liner clamps for the IC. The IAC looks to be @ 30mm but I don't have a clamp on it yet, I just know the old 1in one wouldn't fit.

FYI the coolant hoses are @ 400 mm in diameter.

Hope that helps bud.

Coolant should be 40 or 400?

Also, were those worm drive gears? Because they can close so small I doubt I can use those measurements. With t-clamps you have to be pretty accurate as they have a very limited min and max diameter range.

oops 40mm, 1 5/8 is what i measured. 20mm is not a very big range, less than an inch ;)

I'll take note when I do my RIP kit this weekend bud.

That would be awesome!

Also, I should mention that I need the OD of the coupler. For example, an intercooler pipe may be 2.25", but by the time the coupler is pushed over, it may be 2.4", which is out of the range of a 2.25" t-clamp. So I would need to account for that and spec a 2.5" coupler for that connection?

Comprende?

Yep. I got confused by that first time I ordered years ago from ATP... they called me and corrected me ;) LOL
