looking for remote ps reservoir idea

[bigaaron]

I hate the stock 7mgte power steering reservoir placement. It's right in the way of so many things. I have been looking at Howe and Canton aluminum ones but they are kinda spendy. I can't use the stock n/a one because my ic pipes are in the way. Anyone have a creative solution or know of an easy replacement for it? I was thinking it could go above the intercooler, there is lots of room there. Any ideas, or better, pics?

I would believe you can mount that tank, or any remote tank, any where you can keep it higher than the pump. Maybe another size tank from the wrecking yard off another type car will fit better. :icon_bigg

I was thinking the same thing and came to the conclusion that mrnickleye came up with. I don't think it matters what kind of resevoir we use so you have alot of options I'd think.

that would be good if they didnt want such stupid amounts of money for shipping.

lol.
"high flow JDM power steering reservoir"
"designed to cool and control fluid better than oem tank"

haha... i hate the whole "JDM" marketing hype...

that is a nice looking tank, but the marketing ploy is hilarious.


and bigaaron: i was going to put mine in the space between the header panel and radiator panel (for some reason i cant think of the real name for it...)
there's plenty of room, and it will still be above the pump.

The feed and return lines are reversed, you need the bigger fitting on the bottom, and you only need inlet and outlet, one will have to be plugged.

 

[supra90turbo]

well then, that's stupid.

put the reservoir between the header panel and radiator support.
it will work.

Here's the installed Canton unit I was talking about ordering a few weeks ago:

Just need to make a little bracket for one side, although the zip tie works fine
