Re: Ic Pump

On the subject of intercooler pumps. I've noticed a few people mention kinked hoses causing a problem. You cannot bend a 3/4" hose without it kinking. I removed my fan shroud while doing my motor and the hose coming off the pump-to-motor was kinked. I replaced mine with this Gates hose.pn# 28479 it's got a 90 deg end and is about 36" long. Cost about $15.

Do you have your metal IC lines re-routed/replaced? If yes, did you buy 4 or just 1?

I flipped back and forth on this one. I ended up keeping the stock steel tubes even though it may hinder some performance I wanted a more "stock" appearance. Looking under the hood the only "non-stock" item is an adjustable fuel pressure regulator. If you run that gates hose on the pump its just long enough to reach the pipe behind the alternator.

Re: Ic Pump

Cool, thanks. I am keeping as close to stock as possible as well, but going to go ahead and do the reroute.

I use these hoses on the upper IC connections.

The difference with this hose, verses the gates hose above, is that it is 40". If you are running your heater hose through the PS fender, the ends of these hoses will be accessible through the opening behind the overflow tank. This makes for a cleaner install, as the hose connections will be hidden...

:2cents:

Re: Ic Pump

How many? 2 or 4? Can't remember the angles from underneath when the lower is hooked up plus will be coming from the opposite direction as is stock.

Re: Ic Pump

If you go my route, you would need at least 2 of the 40" hoses, from the top of the IC, and at least one other "long" 90 coming off of the CCHE, and one short 90* to connect the pump to the CCHE. you will still need a section of 3/4 heater hose.

In total, to replace the stock metal lines you will need at least 4 90*s, 2 for the upper IC, and 2 for the lower CCHE.

I jumped on the big bandwagon and removed the metal IC lines and did the full heater hose reroute. I can proudly say that I will be putting the metal tubes back in ASAP. I hate the reroute and personally think it is completley pointless.

Re: Ic Pump

I don't know how much the rubber lines really help the IC temps. The big advantage over the metal lines is that you don't have to drain the IC everytime you remove it. It is also makes it easier to get the air bubble of the system. I will replace the metal lines everytime unless I was doing a 100% stock SyTy. My Sy has perfect metals lines, my Ty that I owned had rusty lines that someone bent.

Just out of curiosity, why did you hate them? The look? Functionality?

Most of us use the Johnson pumps (previously the popular upgrade was Jabsco pumps) that bolt into the stock location. The high flow capacity pumps benefits are questionable, Lower CCHE can only exchange so much heat, moving liquid faster doesn't neccessary help it. I put my Jasbsco pump in a bucket and I don't think it took 15 secs to pump a gallon, I am sure the tubing slow that down. The stock pump is probably adequate, but at this point the originals are all broken.

Re: Ic Pump

I removed my metal lines mainly due to the clutter they create. I usually prefer a factory look, but the factory design is not pretty or functional - the metal lines clutter up the area, partly reduce access to the back of engine area and distributor, make checking vaccuum hoses a little harder, and so on.

I was able to use plain old straight 3/4 hoses. The bend at the intercooler is gradual enough that I can loop around into the fender without the 90 deg hoses.
