relocating ps pump?

[Thommo 73]

as it says, has anyone relocated the power steering pump?
puting a 1uz into a GQ and it's a little too close to the steering box.

How close is too close.

Do you have 10mm of room?

The conversion has been done plenty of times.

Have you thought of asking on www.outerlimits.com in the Nissan Section.

You may get the answer from somone who has done the coversion.

no it's pretty much touching, i havnt asked on outers, but i did get this motor from scotty mcgill there. but he had it 3 maybe 4" further forward so thats out, i can remake the engine mounts over a bit more but was trying to avoid that.

moving the pump would have been easyier, i'll just stop being lazy and move the motor.

Moving the pump isn't hard but you may find you need to use an alternative pump as the inlet and outlet are in the way of mounting it on the other side up high.

I had a pump in the air compressors position for a while but it was a Lancer Evo with a 4 rib belt.

Wasn't hard to mount but a rearrangement of my engine bay allowed it to go back in the right spot.

i pulled my finger out and move the motor over, so on with the rest of it
