You lurker, you.

Well... here is a small update...

I got the power steering pump and alternator put on the block and test fit it. Turns out the stock location for the power steering pump is NOT gonna work out. It hits the frame. I'm going to try to relocate it to the driver side but I am worried about the amount of belt contact I will have if doing that. I have some brain storming to do.... on to pictures:











Poorly put together panoramic of the shop..



So far a S13 Coupe, 280Z, Talon TSI, Grand National, Z31, S13 Hatch.

The other day I helped my roommate put a Stillen intake and Cat Back on his G37.



That's all for now. Will update when I figure out what to do with the PS pump.

i'm pretty sure chris forsbags uses an electic ps pump. you might wanna look at that.

Yeah, I saw his set up. I am going to see if I can get the relocated pump to work. If not, I may need to go that route. I just need to look into cost. Would be a lot better I think.

Well I pulled the motor back out and pulled the pump off. I was going to work on the mounts but my drill ran out of juice so I went ahead and cut and re-welded my shift linkage.





And then I put the motor back in to see how it sits.



Major thanks to Rev-Em-Hard/Chris Vallet for the idea!

I was making the mount plates from 1/8th in plate but I think I'm gonna step it up to 1/4 in.

Okay so I'm looking into standalone options. I have been looking into the Vi-Pec as well as an AEM universal.

I'm also looking into the Performance Electronics PE3.

Any other suggestions? Not gonna lie I don't know much about the topic but I'm researching.

Sky's the limit, really. Biggest thing is whatever falls within your budget and what your tuner is comfortable with if you're not going to tune it yourself.

I'm kind of lean toward the Performance Electronics but I gotta find a good tuner and see what he would recommend.
