b'Power Steering CoolersPower Steering Tech Tip: Keeping the power steering fluid cool & in a mostly liquid state (not aeriated with bubbles) are the keys to a trouble free power steering system. Lets talk about keeping the fluid cool. First, mounting the fluid reservoir away from the pump and engine will automatically help the fluid run 20 cooler. That helps & is enough in many track car applications, especially with the right reservoir. More on that below.But in severe applications of high horsepower engine heat underhood, extended use in endurance racing and/or fast back-n-forth steering use (autocross), you need a fluid cooler to prevent problems. In road race/track day applications, a small cooler mounted where it sees good airflowor a radiator hose inline cooleris all you need.Remember any accessorylike power steering, transmission or engine oil cooling you do in the radiatoror in the radiator hosesreduces the radiators capability to cool the engine. If you run an inline cooler in the upper radiator hose, consider the max horsepower cooling capacity of your radiator about 25HP less.Aeriation (bubbles) in power steering fluid (same for engine & trans oil) is bad. Very bad. There are a few successful approaches, from different manufacturers, to keeping the fluid aeriation to a minimum, including baffling, filtering & pressurizing the reservoir.The Chase Bays reservoir uses upward flow tubes & baffles to drop the incoming fluid pressure from 100+ PSI to about 10-15 PSI, causing less aeration when it hits the pool of fluid already in the reservoir.PSCs reservoir utilizes a single upward flow internal (replaceable) filter cartridge to slow & clean the fluid coming into the reservoir. They offer an add on anti-splash valve, which pressurizes the reservoir to 6 PSI, and achieves the required venting through the splash valve.The KSE reservoir utilizes dual internal upward flow (replaceable) screen filters to slow & clean the fluid both coming & going through the reservoir. Additional baffling eliminates fluid blowing out the cap. A bonus with the KSE reservoir is the outer finned design dissipates heat quicker.Last is a good choice of fluid. OEM fluids are not up to this task. There are two routessynthetic or petroleum baseddepending on your goals. The top synthetic fluids (JGR, AGR, Jones, Maxima, Redline, Royal Purple, Amzoil, etc.) aerate less (yay!), but lubricate less as well (boo!). The top petroleum based fluids (KSE, KRC, Swepco, Lucas, etc.) aerate more (boo!), but lubricate more as well (yay!).Rons opinion is if you have a poorly designed system, you need synthetic fluid & just accept that your pump & rack (or steering box) are going to wear out sooner. If you have a well designed system, you can run the petroleum based fluids, so your pump & rack (or steering box) last longer. Your call. Rons experience is the KSE fluid is the very best. So even though we offer other brands, our standard, no problem racing power steering fluid is the KSE Elixer.Always mount the reservoir so the fluid is higher than the pump & the supply hose runs downhill to the pump (NOT up!). Keep the supply hose short, 16 or less. Longer hoses contribute to a vacuum & aeration. 705'
