power steering?
supa74 - August 26th, 2009 at 11:27 AM

subaru ej20 turbo conversion in a bug. what do i do with the two oil lines that connected to the power steering pump which i removed and will not be using in my conversion. do i route them back together in a U fitting or plug them both in the ends separately?

you take all the lines & the pump off.

Or you could use the pump to power the radiator fan like i've done, v6 camary rad and fan for less than $100 with $40 pluming. Keeps the ej20 very cool at only 1/4 speed.
Just another option, Aaron.

Joel thanks for the belt number. Next thing on my list.
