Hi all, I need advice. 1JZ is mounted in the RX7 FD. The engine works perfectly, but the power steering fails. Everything is connected correctly, Soarer in which the engine came, worked well.

What do you mean the power steering fails? Is it noisy, leaking, hard to turn the wheel? Your going to have to give more information.

I used the stock 7m oil cooler instead of the long tubes for the stock ps cooler. Soon to be upgraded tho.

Also the resivour needs to be above the pump.

It does absolutely nothing, no noise, no resistance to the belt, just as if it was not there.

The resivour is in above the pump.

How is it routed?

Should go from resviour to pump with a big hose, then from pump to rack with high pressure hose, then exit rack with something like 3/8th reg hose then go to the cooler and back up to the resivour.

It does nothing and makes no noise?
