nice man, make some pics and maybe a how to, would also like to go for this one day

[Tigawoods]

Its a pretty simple setup, I just hope it works as well. Ill document as much as I can. Usually in the winter months I tend to not take pics of my projects lol

[Tigawoods]

Fitted on the aeromagic lip a couple weeks ago. I like it but am worried about how it will blend with the skits.
The skirts though are AWESOME. Exactly what I wanted. no pics of them on yet

Finished up the shopping list for the EHPS setup. Ordering everything this week. Its going to be badass once its finished, my favorite part being the rear mounted ps cooler with a temperature controlled fan.

Still my favourite lip for sixth gens.

I would need to see it painted and with the rest of the car to say how I like it...
Knowing how well your car looks without any lips or skirts, I'm not sure how well I will like it. But hey, it's your car and not mine

Having my car for 10 years without any sort of lip or skirt, yeah....i'm not sure either if I will like it when its all together.

it's the TOMs lip of the preface gens! how did u even score one of those?

I think it'll look awesome but it is strange seeing your car with lip/skirt

[jordisonjr]

What side skirts did you go with again? Just OEM? (I couldn't find the post earlier in the thread)

Let me know when you decide you don't like the lip, and would like to see it on someone else car, rather than yours

I got the Euro Dealer option skirts


UGGHH it looks so good though I would hate to let it go!!

You can live vicariously by having it on my car
I'll send some SS-III spliters your way

[Tigawoods]

for some reason my projects always end up adding up quite a bit lol. I have just one more package coming in with the return 6AN hose and a 1/8npt fitting adapter to fit a temp sensor in.

but today I got in the remaining AN fittings, adapters, 30/50A relays, Racepak sensors and the coolest bits...

4" Spal Puller and Setrab 13 row
This is going to sit above the rear diffuser since there wont be much airflow, the fan will draw out the heat

Racecar.

[Tigawoods]

got to tear apart some things this weekend and start to plan out the setup.

Box full of parts I got to complete the conversion. LOTS AND LOTS of fittings.
The black box on the left is a Rivet Nut tool. I wish I would have gotten on of these a LOOOONG time ago


Got this sensor block for the low-pressure side. The sensor in the pic is for the Racepak. I decided after messing around with a couple configurations that I would use this sensor for the Oil Temp and a regular 1-Wire on this block as It has another NPT port on it I can use to ground the 1-wire sensor. There is another 3/8 fitting for the other side, i just didnt put it in at the time of the pic


I found out this weekend that the Earls 6AN power steering hose that I got to use for the high-pressure line is thicker than normal 6AN power steering hose so the fittings I got for it wont work. I have to order fittings specifically for that hose from Earls.

expensive ass 16x1.5 to 6AN fittings.

One alum 120degree fitting for the low pressure and a 90 for the high-pressure line. Sadly they dont make a 120 for the high-pressure hose so hopefully, it will be able to make the turn. I will try to get better pictures next time. I also have to clean up all that grease and make it a bit more presentable down there


a pic of the rear of my cluster since I had to take it out to grab some of the sensor wires


I didnt get a pic of all the plastics removed but I think I found the location I will be putting the pump. I am looking to have it mount somewhere in front of the rear strut tower, utilizing the top rear seat bracket mounting holes and will also probably have to weld on a mounting tab to the 3pt-bar.



mounted the fan to the PS cooler.





got a barrel crimper in so I can start putting together some Deutsch autosport connectors. This thing is fun to use.

wow.... too much.... nice work...

[BonzaiCelica]

i dont understand what im seeing

[Box]

Power steering cooler to finish off the electrohydraulic conversion. Mounting it all in the back for ease of access and weight distribution, I suppose because racecar.

[Tigawoods]

yeah. something along those lines with a little boredom mixed in.


Got the proper fittings in from Holley. Makes sense that the fittings for the high pressure line should be steel and not aluminium. You can tell from the pic how much larger the -6AN PS lines are than the normal braided -6AN.
Should be able to make some progress now this weekend with running the lines, and laying out the wiring for everything.
Also go the pumps bracket fixed. A local shop basically welded on what looks like an aluminum shifter base bushing.

[Tigawoods]

made a bit of progress, despite the garage being freezing for the majority of the weekend.


assembled some of the Earls Power steering Hose ends on the PS high-pressure hose. These took alot more effort to hook up compared or regular nylon braided AN hose.


a pic of the repaired bracket on the pump



I had a thought and decided to chase it to see if I could improve how the pump performs. The wiring I have for the pumps ECU right now basically just gives the pump power. The ECU is able to sense pressure and will 'idle' down when there isnt much steering demand. There is a speed sensor input but my speed sensor isnt working at the moment. Thats a later fix.
SO I decided to look up the wiring similarities between this MR2 Pump and the BEAMS pump. And behold, they have the same inputs into the ECU....but what those inputs do...idk. Im trying to decide if I should just take the wires that were going to the BEAMS pump and just wire them into the MR2 pump and see what happens...
LEFT-BEAMS---RIGHT-MR2



back to the progress
bulkhead fitting for high pressure line



testing out the route and length...no, zipties wont be the final mounting method



tested out the rivnut tool. and damn I wish I got one of these years ago




the cool part of the weekend!



Getting some brackets welded up so I can finally mount the pump. Also getting a more sturdy bracket welded up for the fan in the rear. Other than that just have a bit of wiring to finish up and to run the low-pressure line (didnt have enough)

[Tigawoods]

The brackets should be done for this weekend to mount the pump.
Got some of the wiring done this weekend along with running the low pressure hose and PS fluid temp block. Didnt take many pics.



Unessecarily made a 8FT twist of wires for the PS pump. 12V/SPD/PSCT/PS



trying to decide on which tire to go with this season. The R888R's are very new and not yet well reviewed

RE71R's

or
R88R's
