Power steering hard lines s13/rb25det/ka stock supplies

[mattleegee]

Ive been looking all over for the racebread DIY but it has been blown up or something. Today i decided i was going to get the steering rack in and hook up power steering line. Found out the hard line/return line will not work, got some ideas from surfing around which i will quote at bottem of my post.

Anyway anyone know a place to order fittings///// know what kind of fittings i need? Also need lots of hose i guess if im going to run it into a cooler.

Any advice on how to set this up?I want to basically run lines right out of the rack into a oil cooler then out as the return, just like stock but not hard line cooler.Fitting sizes, hose sizes, oil cooler any pics?s13rb25detr33 crossmember

Quotes i found when searching:

The ps hardline was not modified, i didnt even bother trying to use it, although it might work if you're careful.For my swap i bought rubber lines and ran the ps fluid to the auto transmission cooler on the stock radiator. You can also just buy a mini $20-$30 oil cooler and run lines to that. Both ways work well.

You shouldn't have to modify it at all, I've used PS on RB25's using the DOHC 240 lines with both the stock crossmember and the Mckinney mounts, I'm sure this kit sets the motor close to the same location as the Mckinney so you should be able to bolt them right up as long as you have all the necessary hardware.

Just to clarify, the shape of the RB crossmember makes it difficult to keep the loop(cooler) on the USDM power steering return line. I've seen people rig it to work, but the results were not that impressive. Unfortunately, the factory tubing used on this loop is a bit stiff to re-shape. Our recommendation is to use a small aftermarket power steering cooler inline on the return side. One of our customers used a factory 350Z PS cooler which made for a very clean install. Other options are to bend a custom loop out of 3/8" tubing, or to use the factory AT cooler if your radiator has one.
