bratman18 Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Virgin Switch? LOL, im guessing you are right, pending definition of virgin switch. god i feel like a total choad anyways.. i fired up the car, it started no problem what so ever, now i just need some exhaust gaskets, the rear half of the exhaust. some kind of solution for the powersteering pressure hose. and i think thats it. yay! Haha, the switch on top of the steering column? Congrats on getting it fired up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneralDisorder Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I always have custom power steering lines made.... the PS system runs at about 600 to 1200 psi on the high pressure side.... best not to F around with pressure's like that. Last set I had made set me back about $75 including hoses, fittings, and welding on matching bits to the hard-lines of each. GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 well, if it's not your first time, than maybe it's a 'lame' switch, log, lump, cold, what have you. impotent? Virgin Switch?

xbeerd Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 (edited) Powersteering pump solution: 1st gen legacy pump acquired from junkyard. I put the EA reservoir on it, it sits at a slight angle. think thats ok? it just fit better than the legacy reservoir unless i relocate that sensor that is attached to the IM behind it (connects to throttle body? IAC or MAP related?) of course the rear mount bolt busted on the way out.. GRRR. it seems to hold for now with just the 2 front bolts, i'll soak the rear part and see about extracting it when i get a chance. i have to modify the return hose a little bit tho, sits in there kinda funky, atleast thats what i recall from last night when i put it in. im gonna snatch up a ej radiator so i dont have to use my crappy rigged up hoses. i have a on/off switch for power, ign, and my starter is wired to a spare rear wiper switch i put ont he left of the steering wheel. i just have to figure something to trip the accessories etc. i was thinking i could tap the power line going to the ign switch, and then run it to the 'virgin switch' and back to the accessories return on the ign switch connector. or just keep the key handy for that. altough i wanted to go keyless.
