bleed your system

and make sure you guys are using ATF NOT powersteering fluid

shoot just flushed with new ps fluid.i hope those noise is not ftom the rack

I slipped up with ps fluid during my install. I even had atf I bought just for this but it was late at night during the instal, opened the cabinet and I seen a big bottle of ps and guess what I used.....

Made the rack leak some, drained it all out and dumpped a bottle of lucas stop leak in there and its about done leaking. I hate all of their products besides their ps additive. I had a hard spot and whine in my dodge truck and that stuff fixed that too.

So what is the lengh of the line ? 2 feet?

anyone know what size these fittings are? There's a place near my house that will make this line for me

leave the p/s cap off and turn the wheel lock to lock a bunch of times. sounds like theres still air in there this will help bleed it out. Just keep an eye on the fluid while doing it

Will this work on a sohc? I bought one and the sohc line seems to be way long compared to the isis piece

You need to convert over to 1991-1994 power steering

Yeah i realized the sohc setup is twice as long when I finally went under there. Its ok though Im going to convert to dohc anyway pretty soon just trying to get all the pieces together

looks like ill be buying me some this week...thanks for the thread

just put one in my friends car and its LEGIT!!! better response and only took about 30 min to put in his sr20. convinced me to buy one so ill be doibg that soon...

still...no answer to this?

that means no one on here knows lol. Call enjuku and they will tell you. They are very cool and helpfull

last time i did they told me they didnt know, and to buy it and find out...they offered free returned shipping at the time...i just wasnt down to get my hopes up for nothing... :werd:


its sucks being different sometimes...:tardrim:

Bringing it back since my power steering decided to give my engine bay a bath in ATF.

Steve, when you did your swap did you take the PS pump and line from the CA18 clip?
I don't understand how your set up could be any different than the KA/SR one?


After doing some research I found this DIY thread from NJTuners.com:

an lines for the 240sx power steering and relocation - NJTuners.com

so the thread size of the high pressure lines appear to be 16 x 1.50 on both ends.
There's a Mr. Hose near my work, I plan on stopping by and seeing how
much it would cost me to just have the line made.

Okay, so my power steering hose it leaking like crazy.. It literally squirts a stream of fluid every time I turn the wheel too much to the far left or right.

I wanted to try the ISIS Steel Braided Power Steering line. Seems simple enough, I'm going to order one tomorrow. Quick question though, it seems like some people have no problem with using regular Power Steering Fluid while others say to use Automatic Transmission Fluid. Which is it?

I don't want to break my power steering by putting the wrong fluid in with that braided line. Which do I use?

Thanks,

Use ATF. Period!

yea, p/s is thinner and will cause your rack to leak.

Just ordered one of these! This line decided to leak due to the wonderful lovely weather that i got stuck driving in ah well can't wait!

I am interested in doing this myself and the info in NJ was great... However, I would also like to do the 2 smaller hardlines on the rack... believe these are for cooling also.

any info on what the thread pitch is on these?

-Drew

I don't think they're for cooling
but it would be a good idea to do just so that they can be
tied to the rack and moved out of the way
since they always get kinked during engine/tranny jobs.

also for those making their own high pressure line
ideal length is 1.3 foot or so
I got 2 feet just to be safe and it's way too long

Okay, so I installed it with MUCH difficulty today. That one clip with the bushing holding the two hard lines in wouldn't budge so I just tore it off... the second hard line was untouched but its making a sqealing noise and its actually grinding. I'm worried, any tips?

lol thats not the reason the Rack leaks

Majority of seals are made to be used only with certain chemicals/fluids

By using the the wrong chemicals/fluids with a certain seal it will cause the seal to Dry up and crack or deteriorate causing fluid to seep by.

Any ideas as to why the steering feels worse? I used ATF and it's making a whining noise as if it were low/near empty. When I turn the wheel I can hear/feel a grinding. It's really worrying me.. What shall I do?

EDiT: I just bled the power teering and it filled up two 16oz bottles and both were just as red as the original ATF. Still making whining noises upon startup and grinding noises when turning hard. Please help.. I'm worried. It was working fine with leaky OEM line and since I switched to this one its been giving me this problem. Aaahh!

make sure your using the right atf..the fsm calls for dextron 2 or better

Using dextrol 3
EDIT: I dunno if I'm being paranoid but I think I smell something burning.. the rack might not be getting any fluid.. it doesn't seem like the fluid is being pushed through the system. The line seems to be vibrating when the car is on. Still making that whining noise as if it were low on fluid and it does grind when turning the wheel on the ground. Could I have put the cable in wrong? It isn't leaking?

so any word on the ps line noise. i installed the line maybe about 3 months ago. have bled it numerous times and i am using ATF. it seems that the problem is normal since many people are saying it's happening to them. well not normal but you get the point. Do you guys thing that the diameter of the hose is smaller maybe??? and not enough flow??

If your factory line was leaky and the pump was sounding fine and it changed after your install then your pump is bad. It happened to me also. Replaced the pump and all the noise went away. If you have a spare pump try it out. There is NO way you put the hose on wrong unless you either didnt tighten it or you kinked the line. And I am sure they are using the right size line because power steering specific line is only available in -6an.

im wondering now, if i should just make a PS cooling system...

would it work if i were to instead of running the line from the pump to rack, i put a cooler in between that feed?

anyone know minimum length to mount the cooler to the say the numper support...?
