Subaru SVX EPS(electronic power steering) pump writeup
You’ll need the bracket, a Volvo pump, a handful of fittings, some electric tid bits and some patience.
Pump:
Volvo pump
08-13 C30 t5
06-13 c70 t5
05-11 s40 NA or T5
05-11 v50 na or T5
Pressure line:
-2x 151206ERL 120 deg -6AN to -6AN hose ends
-1x m16-1.5 oring adapter fitting PN: Allstar 48210 fitting (pump)
-1x M14-1.5 oring Steel PN 591962 (rack inlet)
-75” of earls EAR-151006ERL
AN Hose, Power Steering Hose, 10 ft. Length, -6 AN, Black, Braided Fiber
Return line:
-1x 220688 (“B” suffix for black) 120 deg -6AN to -6AN
-1x M16-1.5 oring Steel PN: 48210 (rack outlet)
-75” of -6AN line (the speedmaster stuff was under sized and made my life difficult, -6AN is 6 x 1/16” so 3/8” but this was 5/16” and really hard to get over the return barb)
AN Hose, -6 AN 5/16-IN. Stainless Steel Fuel Oil Braided Hose Line (20ft Roll)
The return can be aluminum, the pressure side must be steel or stainless steel.
I used adapter fittings that were steel as well
The routing I ran it upward with the 120 degree adapters with both parallel to each other at about 10* off directly up, the back down to the hardlines on the rack. From there I ran through the subframe opening by the swar bar and to the pump (front piece of sheet metal removed as it interferes with both feed and return)
I zip tied to things along the way to keep it from rubbing.
The wiring I’m using a big circuit breaker and a decent sized relay.
You’ll most likely want a bigger alternator to run this and bigger gauge wiring from it to the battery and running to this. My stock alt on my Celica(2grfe engine) works but those are ~160amps stock.
