Installed my PS Tank today.

Thanks again to SxExCx-Sean for making this happen, bigc-Chris (for the last minute help on the phone!) and caskyline-Randy for their help with this mod.

Please excuse the dirty bay, haven't cleaned it in a couple weeks.

+1, I'm curious about this too Sean.

the painted rocker covers look sweeeet!!! Nice color match - ties it all in nicely!

ahh, ok...yes it is in the works

I'm not totally sure but for comparison sake, the Weapon-r tank is not vented and the NRG does not appear to be either (although I am not sure). If you decide to try it, I would replace the cap filter with a solid bolt so the fluid wont peel up the adhesive on the sticker. Let me know if you try it.

Installed my P/S tank on Saturday, from the pic I guess I'm the only one that split the OEM washers and used them under the contact points. Sean, looking forward to your next tank....rad overflow/catch can....

I hope everyone realized that new polished bolts and washers were included in the boxes.

^Yup, saw them taped to the inside of the box. I ended up using 2 of the 3 the polished bolts that I already had installed on the OEM tank bracket so they would match with my other bolts.

Yeah, I realized you already had matching bolts but for the other guys...

Picked up my aluminum PS tank from SxExCx a couple of weeks ago (thanks for bringing it to the meet, Sean!), and finally got it installed yesterday. It took a few slight modifications to get it to fit, since my car is a 2nd Gen car with the HR motor, but it works perfectly and looks great. Let me know if anyone wants to know what is required to modify the tank to fit a 2nd Gen car and I will post a short DIY.

Here are some pics of the tank installed.









And some updated pics of the engine bay.

^that is really nice for the 2nd gen set up..i am jealous of the other caps and SS hoses. looks great....anything i need to know before i do mine?

Thanks, G37Mobbin! It's a slow progression.. I'm still working on the custom cold air box for the K&N on the passenger's side... once those are done, I'm gonna have them overlayed in CF.

Here's a little more detail on the pS tank install.

I used two mounting points using the existing brackets on the new tank I got from SxExCx. Both holes I used are existing 6mm threaded holes. One was originally used for mounting the factory air box on the passenger's side, so this one was freed up when I installed my K&N, and the second mounting hole was freed up when I removed the factory PS tank. I moved the grounding wires over one hole to one of the original PS mouting holes and used the existing ground hole point for the new PS mounting bracket. I had to bend one of the existing mounting brackets on the new tank (very easy, since it is aluminum), and also had to make a custom bracket out of 1/8" flat aluminum for the second mounting point. I also replaced the existing factory rubber power steering hose (that goes from the PS pump to the tank) with a slightly longer (and straighter) hose. The factory one would have worked, but it was just barely long enough and the all the bends made it very tough to work with. I got the replacement hose at Autozone for $2.99... It's a 5/8" power steering hose, Gates # AS260, Duralast Part # 115412.

Here are a couple of close up pics of the mounting points.

Yay, I was gone for the weekend and worked late last night, so I finally got a chance to pick up my package today after work.

Soooooooooooooo mirror-like. Totally awesome. Completely impressed with this piece. Anxiously awaiting the other custom tanks!

One dumb, dumb, question though. How does the cap come off? Does it screw or pop off? I tried turning really hard but ended up just kinda hurting my fingers on the side grip of the cap. I figured i'd ask first in case there was some really easy way to pop it off. I'm guessing I just didn't try hard enough. LMK, Thanks!

^You gotta twist pretty hard to get the cap off the first time. I used a microfiber as a grip to get it off.
