Also isn’t the AEM Pulley slightly larger so its output is better with less work? Since you said it feels like the system is straining? I do like Will’s idea of repositioning in near the brake reservoir. You can tuck it below the clutch fluid reservoir behind the strut box.

Originally posted by Rilas View PostRaf, can't you move the reservoir over by the brake and clutch fluid reservoir's over in the corner. I feel like this would cut feet off of your lines, also swapping to a 5th gen power steering speed pump with doesn't have the power steering fluid running through it. This would cut out another couple of feet. All of this would result in a cleaner engine bay as well. Not nearly as much hose running around.

Yep. Very weird fitment, but going to see if I can make this work. The other bonus of this is you can see all the lines. Before the lines sneaked under and over and through stuff and having any leaks was a PITA. Also need to keep it away from exhaust bits...
This fitment won't do as the connectors point in the wrong direction.
We will have to do something like this:
Yep. See if I can get this to work.
I really will say the Mishimoto PS reservoir is not the best. The hose that fits on it doesn't fit well on the other end (has to be a PS hose) and forces you to use adapters. And the outlets point at an angle that forces you to use open area space.

Alrighty..... so the battle continues. Much happier with this setup. Lost 10-15' of hose + the cooler. I do need the cooler too, I've seen the PS reservoir so hot you can't touch it. But had to do some trimming, cutting, making things fit.
- Two hoses that originally came out from the rack still do and run along the engine
- Then runs under the turbo cooler and above the charge pipe. Tried to leave room here as the engine may move a little
- Even got to use the OEM return hose to the PS pump
Can't wait to try this. I wonder if I can move the steering wheel with two fingers again...

Any reason you didn’t want to put the reservoir near the stock location? I know your charge pipe runs through that hole but mounting in on the strut box and then having the ps cooler mounted behind the charge pipe in the bumper. I would think it would be about the same length of hose maybe a little less and it keeps it away from the heat of the turbo.
I know my hot side can get pretty hot and with the metal reservoir sitting close to that, plus the line running just above it, I imagine would transfer some heat.
I’m not sure how much room you have between the bumper, core support and the frame. But that ps cooler does not seem like it would take up a lot of room.~Nick~

I've read somewhere that excessive heat is the #1 killer of transmissions. I'm of the opinion that the CB7 ps pumps are well made, however, is it known how others' pumps have held up to the extra heat when running at the stock mounting point when a turbo has been added? There are no clutch packs to die in a ps pump, however I'm wondering how well the pumps can endure the extra heat without their tolerances going out of spec.My '91 LX build. Bought September 2017.

So good news...
SSMAccord, yes. WAY easier to to turn the steering wheel now. Also the PS unit is quieter and affects the idle of the car and engine rpm less. Which makes sense.
I've been testing the battery drain on the car lately... example:
last night at 7pm = 12.6V (tested at the battery)
tonight at 7pm = 12.3V (tested at the battery)
But I have a remote door unlock thing in the car, which does work and probably is taking the 0.3V. .....
Just had these instances (tuner did too) where after 2 days battery is beyond dead. Starting to think it's me not closing the trunk all the way and remembering it has a small light...
Funny how at 12.3V the battery charger thinks the battery is 25% charged....Last edited by Raf99; 03-21-2020, 08:05 PM.

I also took the drivers side fender off to fix the hood latch issues. It was really tight because I had it zip tied too many times under the fender. All put back together now. Wishing I could buy a carbon fiber hood for this girl. This OEM hood is garbage. It's got dents, rust, and is so heavy...

PM'd about PS cooler. About battery drain - I had the trunk light staying on in one of mine. Also, I suspect you'd have noticed this (particularly if parking it inside). One project car had a dead battery because the plug for the brake light switch came out and the brake lights would have been on all the time.90 LX 4dr 5 spd 396,014 (sold 1/1/2022) - MRT: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=201450

Alright, for this next mod I need to thank NH-503P-3. He sold me the wiper arm and controller box pre-wired. Huge thanks.
Of course this is the wiper delay mod. Which I regret not doing when I had the dash out.
This is the plug you need to get to..... and the box you replace with another that's connected to it.
