Any comments?
Every front mount application i've seen uses Aeroquip braided steel lines. Is rubber a bad idea? Thanks |

JP,
Good points about about garden hose and 911 pressure. But it doesn't really give an idea about flow. A positive displacement gear pump will produce tremendous pressure at low flow or against high resistance, hence the various pressure relief devices in engines. When the engine is nice and tight the pressure is high because of this. Just because you have 150 psi, say 10 bar appoximately, in the 911 doesn't mean it will flow 2.5 times the volume of a garden hose that normally sees 4 bar or 60 psi. The 4 bar in the street main is pushing as much as it can through the 1/2" hose. The 10 bar at the 911 pump is pushing everything it can through small bearing clearances and other ports, all small by comparison to a garden hose. Just rambling I guess. I don't know the answer. Something to think about though. Mike |
