Ok i recently swappped in a B18b1 into my ej1. Im trying to retain my Power Steering but cant seem to find out how. My problem is i have p72 brackets(i believe they are GSR) and the pump came off the same gsr also. So what would i need to keep my PS working. Ive searched and came to nothing except OB1 and OBD2 line diffirences and keeping it in a EK. But not Ej.

So any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanx in advance.

You need a ls upper power steering bracket. The lower bracket and pump are the same.

I had to order a LS upper PS bracket when I did the swap in my EG. Get that and you should be golden.

Cool thats what i needed to know......You sure cuz this mguy at a "SHOP" said i had to cut my brackets to make it work? I was like WTH? No way ....ill find out. So i came on here. Thanx

I am positive all you need is the LS upper bracket, that's how I did mine and I have been driving it for a year now with no problems.

I'm running a B18B1 in my ej1 with PS using the LS brackets and pump.

What??? So which one is it?

Cortez_h

What there saying bout you needing the upper LS bracket is correct since the pumps and lower bracket are the same. I just have all LS parts cause it came on my motor.

Ah....ok. Thanx guys.

back to the top cuz i couldnt get it to work. The tensioner holes dont match up from the bracket to the pump? Why would this be? I was told it came from a GSR(the pump)

Im now running a top LS bracket and a bottom gsr....or so i was told the bracket came from with the pump.

Need help please...or could it be the belt? Cuz the belt is a GSR also. I can lift the pump up manually but no matter how high i lift it the belt stays loose.

mortificationrock

Ok....im doing some research with belts and all and they are the same. The pump has a stamp .....P30A, is this correct? Or what am i looking at here.


TIA

I just ran out and checked mine, I am using the LS pump and upper/lower bracket. Pump bolted right to my EG lines. I also used a LS belt for P/S.
Hope this helps.

P30A pump- B16A
P72 pump-B18B1/B18C1
P54 lower bracket- B18B1/B18C1
P54 upper bracket-B18B1
You need to get a P72 pump.

Ok but where would it state this. I went to some spot and the pump said p30a on the castin but had a sticker where it said p72 and they were identical.

So by what do i go by? Sticker or casting?

I have no clue. I know my LS pump has a P72 sticker and my B16A pump has a P30A sticker. They are different P/N's , so I would think there has to be a difference, either externally or internally. Although you are right, they do look really similar.
