Trying to make all my goodies fit.

Can you add a cooler to the RPG PSR? Dumb question probably.

 

[Dan06]

^ yeah that's what I'm working on at the moment

Trying to make all my goodies fit.

Will this ps cooler still allow for a behind grill 30" and behind grill 40"?

 

[Dan06]

My 40" Rigid will sit below everything above.

If I didn't have the supercharger I could run an upper bar as well, however in the current setup the cooler would be in the way.

It's Alive! MUAHAHAHAHA! All done with this project

The dealer replaced power steering pump and updated hose fittings. Now I'll be installing the RPG PSR and hope for the best. If that doesn't work, I'll vw out of warranty so ill upgrade to the HOWE assembly.

So dan all you did was run the return and pressure lines to te cooler from the pump ad the Rpg ps res right? I'm gonna be adding a cooler to mine as well here realy soon and just wanna make sure I get this all figured out first! Thanks man!!

I ran the line from the radiator cooler to the bottom of the Power Steering Solutions cooler and the other connection on the aftermarket cooler to the bottom connection on the RPG steering fluid reservoir. Tried taking pictures in the dark encase my description is unclear, but pictures may be equally as bad.





Was gonna use this link from KaiserM715's "Power Steering Solutions Reservoir And Cooler Installation" writeup to answer your question, but there wasn't pictures of the specific connection points. However, there's lots of good info in it.

Probably gonna do this after reading it again:



Mil T had another good similar install writeup:

He used a different cooler, which would've been a bit cheaper if anyone wants to save a smidgen. I've just had the Power Steering Solutions one sitting around.

I installed the RPG last PSR last weekend. I was a quick and easy. Looks good and a noticeable difference in the steering...more in control. I won't say a loser feel, but an easier feel to turn...

Yes the PSR gets hot...ask me how I know...

Plus the RPG looks cool...

Can't speak to the others!

Pics of mine and the fluid I use...

I just bought an RPG PSR on monday and called RP for fluid specs for the Raptor. The tech I spoke to suggested Max EZ over the Max ATF.

Any opinions, what Royal Purple type are the rest of you guys running in your PSR?



btw, thanks Fred for the pics too. I also have an Airaid, so now I know it wont be an issue for the install.
