alright, i am pulling my ac for my turbo setup and i was under the impression that what is in the picture was for ac, but it seems to be power steering fluid coolant coils...er something... can i take them out? or do i need these for power steering?
also, if i eliminate my power steering, what else do i need to do to the steering to make it durable for not having the ps running it? thanks and here are the pics...
o and these are off my 92 gsr...

 

anyone? sorry for the impatience but i need to know!!!!

 

That is part of the power steering, just leave it. All of the AC parts are interconnected.

 

buy padawan's power steering removal kit for 60 $. Worth every penny. the car will handle better and it also bumps you up 3-5 hp

 

what does that kit do??? and if i purchase it i wont have to deal with those damn coils in front?

 

that ps kit is made for a DC. Most of the DA guys just remove the lines (4) on the PS rack and cap it.

 

so if u remove those does the ps still work as good as it did before? my f'ing fmic is gonna be in the way if i dont get rid of those lines in front, so i dont know what to do...

 

use a 88-91 Streering rack. Bolt right in. even uses then same tie rod ends.

If you remove the hard metal cooler and use a quality "U" fitting to connect the two remaining hoses, you shouldn't have a problem. Certain Honda models don't even have the cooler, so I don't think PS fluid temps will be an issue.

that is what i was thinking, because i dont really think that the temps of the ps fluid would be bad, and i know for a fact that my friend's 92 GS doesnt have them, so iono... u think i would be fine taking out the cooler and just connecting the 2 lines with a U joint?
o and thanks for all the replies!

Yes, as I said, you shouldn't run into any problems. Just use a quality fitting and clamps and you'll be all set.

 

alright thanks, that is what i am going to be doing then...

 

ok, to bring this topic back up, can i just solder on a u fitting made out of copper to bypass that cooling line?

 

The cooler should attach to two rubber hoses. Using a barbed "U" fitting with clamps to loop these two rubber hoses should work fine.

 

ok, i think ill do that then, that is a lot easier than soldering on a new fitting...lol
