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?

 

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.

 

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

 

TTT cuz i need myself some PowerSteering

 

bump

 

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.
