Help please: What, if any, are the impacts of varying tube ID between the engine, water pump and radiator?
I want to run hard lines from the engine compartment to the front trunk. They will be protected and the plan should eliminate any concern about cabin heat. Here's what I'm looking to better understand:
As I understand it, I can expect sufficient flow from -16 AN fittings and hose. This has an ID of .089.
A 1" .049 wall 5052 AL tube has an ID of .902.
The radiator has inlet/outlet fittings that take a 1.25 ID hose.
Assuming I hook all this up, are there any odd or problematic things that happen when the 1" line dumps to a 1.25 radiator opening then upon exit, flows from 1.25" back into a 1" line?
Apologies if this is rudimentary. I'm new to H2O cooling...
Thanks,
Chris
