PS tube thingimajig....

[Inygknok]

sorry for not having a pic of it, but i still havent gotten my damn digicam from my gf. anyhow, ill try to explain.

yall know of that tube from the power steering system that travels from inside the engine bay to a half loop on top of the stock horns up front on top of the intercooler? my question is, is that tube necessary or can i remove it without any problems? looks pretty pointless there unless it serves some purpose for like pressure or something.

Its a cooling tube for your PS fluid.

 

[Inygknok]

ah well, pretty much wat i thought it was. i guess it stays , thanks

I replaced mine with a little real cooler.

lmao! excellent wording, Ian... :biglaugh:

you can kill two birds with one stone, on this topic.
since there is no hurry to upgrade the ps oil cooler, wait until you upgrade your engine oil cooler. then, simply use your factory engine oil cooler as your new power steering oil cooler. beautiful idea, you can keep the cooler where it sits, and you need not waste a good part.




::edit::^ goin for a record on how many times i can put "cooler" in a sentence.

 

[aye mate]

can i flush the oil cooler well and use it to cool the PS fluid safely? cuz if i can, i will most definately do so.

Ingy: Yep give it a good clean out and it'll be fine!

As Kurt(S90T) said the stock engine cooler is perfect as a PS Cooler!

I only bought a new one as I ran out of room to mount the stock engine cooler!

 

[Inygknok]

hehe, good times!

thanks for the help IJ! i was actually about to start selling it tomorrow since i honestly didnt think i had any use for it since im gonna get a better unit for the oil system. gonna order up an oil relocation kit

still checking to see which one is worth my time. i think u were the one that told me about one..... cant remember now.... if it was u, got a link to the kit itself?

 

[IJ.]

Very welcome Ingy,

Wasn't me I pieced mine together out of parts.

Pretty sure there's a full thread about it with details and links.

 

[Inygknok]

was hoping it was you... i did make a thread on it but no one posted any links to the specifics.

ill make a search now on the forums, was waiting for ya to reply first just in case.

 

[IJ.]

LOL try Horsepower Freaks in the Vendor section here!

 

[Inygknok]

damn, stop replying so fast. i keep refreshing and there you go again. dont even let me check out the sites!

i did check out HPF out about an hour ago. currently checking JCWhitney which sells the same kits for somewhat cheaper (no offense HPF guys).

still, im a bit confused.

http://www.jcwhitney.com/autoparts/...ku=oil+relocation&searchbtn.x=0&searchbtn.y=0

one says that its the relocation kit and the other is the relocation hose and fittings, but they show the same damn picture.

both combined make the whole system complete?


EDIT:
just found another link while searching the forums. got the direct link to the Summit kit.

$35 for that sounds great.

 

[IJ.]

LOL just killing time here till my machine shop opens!

I think you need both as one is the hardware the other is the hose clamps and fittings!

 

[Inygknok]

well, im gonna help u kill more time

help me out a bit here. with that kit from summit.... will i need to keep the stock oil filter bracket or is it removed and substituted with one of those there?

 

[IJ.]

Go to Toyota and grab an NA Filter Stud (about $20 I think) ditch the horrible GTE bracket totally and your new adaptor will screw directly onto the block!

 

[Inygknok]

as we say here in Puerto Rico:

Vaya mano, que caballo eres!


pretty much just means you're the best. thanks man. will do so. but, i will note that u forgot one thing.... wats the damn part #?
i could explain to those guys all day long wat the part is and i dont think they will get anywhere unless i get them the part #

 

[IJ.]

LMAO sorry no idea on the part # I just use em from the dead NA blocks I have here!

If Jeff Lange see's this he could provide the part number so maybe PM him the link to this thread?

 

[Inygknok]

in fact, ill check the haynes manual back at home. 4pm already, so time to finally go home. we should do this quick posting thing again sometime

thanks man for the great amount of help. you just solved a few of my dilemmas in just 15 or so minutes.

 

[IJ.]

Look into a B&M T Stat and cooler I'm very happy with mine!
