Question About Adding Power Steering To My Cti

[smokey 0]

Hiya guys

 

Well i went out today to get some new wheels and ended up getting a power steering rack, pump and pulley wheel

 

Because i'm putting a Mi16 engine into the CTI it has to me set up like a Mi16. I know the pump needs to fix to the gearbox and the pulley wheel goes onto the outlet cam.

 

But I was wondering where do i mount the reservoir bottle?

 

Also the high pressure tubing needs to come from a Diesel 205? If i can't get hold of that does anyone know where else i can get the tubing?

 

Thanks

if you cant get it from a diesel then the original piping from a 405mi16 will do also.

 

You can have pipes made up by someone like pirtek but they are expensive (£60/pipe) when i got a quote

 

heres how wher i mounted mine

I used the existing high pressure metal/rubber combination from the 1.9 8v, got the local pirtek guys to cut and reduce the metal portion of the pipe to fit my Mi conversion for £5!

will the ps pump not fit under the alternator on the mi?

No that where it fits for the 8v engines.

 

On 16v engines its mounted onto the gearbox and run from the exhaust cam.

I have this in the garage , saved from my 205 turbo diesel if it's any use.

 

 

Probably the other pipe you want and that was shot
