how to keep powersteering

Post by Gentleman Rogue »

or one way anyway. after relocating the alternator to the driverside, i had space to build a low slung p/s pump mount. keeping with the low buck theme, i chopped a part off one of the 4G63's motor mounts(the part with 4 bolt holes that sits behind the water pipe), flipped it upside down and backwards, and bolted some 1/4" angle iron and finally welded the "cup" the stock DSM pump sits in. with the pullies barely lining up as it was with the truck waterpump, i mounted the P/S v-belt pulley in front of the the waterpump pulley instead of behind it. i also took the straight hose nipple from the truck's pump; the DSM's pump has the same "post" as the truck's pump for the banjo-type feed hose, so it slides right on. here's some pics:

clearing space on the turbo side of the engine:

all bolted up

should be enough room to bend the intake tube around the pump:

cut the stock pump reservior mount off the inner fender and welded it back obn at the rear of the engine bay. i'll probably just run a pair of new hoses up the inner fender to the pump and hard line:

probably be a while before i can test it out and see how it works, but as soon as its up and running, i'll be sure to report back. hope this helps you guys!
