anyone with OFI hotside step in! power steering line question.

[1fstss]

working on installing my hotside and i went to install the cross over and the power steering line is like right there... what did those with this kit do with the lines!

You're probably mot going to get a solid answer, there's so few running ofi kits out there.

On my LT1Boost kit, I had to pretty much custom bend my power steering pressure line. It's got enough length to come out of the pump, drop down the frame rail and come across the k member.

i figured but was hoping to grab 1 lol but im going to try and re rout it somewhere...

AER-FBM2608 -6 AN to 16mm x 1.5 Male
AER-FBM2609 -6 AN to 18mm x 1.5 Male

Then run hydraulic line to connect rack to pump. Technically, its not correct, as the JIC females are a looser class thread than the male -6an fittings, but it should be fine.

I never had any leaks with mine and it was a much cleaner alternative to bending hard line around.

i used a OFI kit, when every thing was tight it cleared all the power steering lines and rack, then i ran heat tape over the rack lines and had the hot side ceramic coated - had no issues with the power steering, for the record id like to say the OFi kit was junk, i had mine re build 4 times due to cracking in the headers and on the y pipe and melted 5 optis before i found a heat shield set up that worked well

This is already ceramicoated, I'm running the ltcc so as long as it don't melt my optical sensor I'm ok . I hope this kit don't fall apart . But it's for sure a very close fit!! I'll be taking a crack back at it this weekend... But as it sits the pipe is like right on my canton oil pan, it's inches from the starter and it's like right on the k member. I also had to modify the flanges to clear my head studs... I thought that was a bit silly... But at this point I'm committed lol.
