Hi,

I have a classic type r. I changed the power steering pump for a newage version. In the process I changed the HP line to a braided earls hose and also removed the cooler.

On testing this setup, all was fine but on a run (warm day but not a thrash) there seemed to be more heat than I wanted from the pump and pulleys.

Has anyone else removed their power steering cooler with no issues?

Cheers
Rich

 

Yes, mines removed with newage pump and tank, no issues

 

Before with cooler pipes



Side angle of newage bottle



Final result, not sure if you can make the main pipes out

 

Better front shot?

 

Ok so it should be fine without the cooler. I wonder if the flow is different with the braided hose feeding the rack... or it just normally runs hot and I just didnt notice before (car hasnt moved much this year), or could my belt be on too tight causing more creating excess heat?!?

Here is mine


Cheers for the reply Busta

 

Braided should be better in essence (I should of done that).
The belt, I just make sure I can 'twist' it by hand half turn, then that's perfect tightness IMO.
