That’s pretty cool, I’m 1.6L 16v swapped so I’m just running the stock sidekick pump and box. But if I wasn’t that’s a really cool alternative. Thanks for posting this video. 🤘😎

No problem! I’d love to have a 16v. Thinking about going that route but I kinda want to go tdi as well.

@@Drewsoffroadgarage same bro, same haha. The 16v made more sense to me, more parts available and the cost is way less than a TDI

Just ordered my parts and pieces. Thanks for posting! I also discovered Mazda 3 steering pumps are similar and half the price, but potentially more complicated, so I went the volvo route.

Awesome to hear! I also saw the Mazda pumps but ending going the Volvo route because of the simplicity and the controller box

Can you please comment on how well your alternator keeps up or have you upgraded this and the battery from stock for this modification?

I do have a 90 amp alternator that I’ve had for a while now. Not sure how it would run on the stock set up. I’ve had no issues with mine with my set up right now

sub'd! very cool :)

I am planning to install the same set-up to my 1991 Santana Samurai. It is a Right hand drive vehicle. Am using a Jimny steering box. Am uncertain on whether the cooler is on the feed, or return circuits. Could you clarify please? Thank you.

Awesome! The cooler should be on the return side. The feed side is the high pressure side and that should run directly to the box. On the return out of the box it is not high pressure and i ran the line to the cooler than back to the pump

Did you use aluminum AN fitting on the high pressure side? Are they strong enough? I ask because I am almost done with that same modification, but could not find steel AN fittings.
