I am gathering parts to install a whipple charger that i picked up for cheap, I need the part that goes into the water pump when doing the install, but i dont want to pay them $50 for such a simple part, does anyone have the dimensions of one? that way i can make my own pretty easy on a lathe

thanks

 

tig machine+1 1/2 stainless full sweep elbow are your friends.
Give me your email and I will send you some pics later today.
Some people have froze the **** out of the stock elbow and turned it with pipe wrench out of the way.
I like the way mine is personally.

 

send the pics to wrbland at mtu.edu

thanks

 

Pics sent let me know if you got them.

 

i got them thanks, so is the diameter that presses into the pump housing 1.5 inches?

 

No that ell is welded on both sides.I am not sure what size is pressed in 1 1/2" just fits on real nice.

 

I twisted mine 90 degrees and then JB welded it. Does not look great, but it works and has held for the last 15K miles.

 

I installed a whipple on a friends truck and I just gently turned the water pump neck with a pipe wrench. No leaks and has worked fine for the past two years.
