Scoboblio Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 My car's currently with my local tuner's place having my Greddy 2 row FMIC fitted... unfortunately they've come across a problem. The power steering tank needs relocating and the kit comes with all the part necessary to remount it beside the battery. My problem is the tank is larger than the one in the instruction pictures and obviously won't fit beside the battery; From the front; From the Top; Do I need a new power steering tank? I know other people have fitted these FMICs because it's the one Wayne organised a group buy for a while back Anyone else have this problem?

Jake Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 That's the radiator expansion tank isn't it? Not the PAS reservoir I'm pretty sure the FMIC kit should have included a replacement smaller expansion tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoboblio Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 Okay guys so now I'm really confused Obviously I'm going on what I'm being told so have no idea if they're talking BS.... so is this the part that needs relocating besides the battery or not?

merckx Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 This the right thing that needs moving. It's just behind the radiator, not too far from the battery. Some FMIC's come with a kit so you can move the coolant expansion tank out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 This kit did have the parts to move it out of the way... but that tank is much larger than the one shown in the instructions, so apparantly it won't fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 You need a smaller expansion tank, I think with some FMIC kits they are supplied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoboblio Posted April 18, 2005 Author Share Posted April 18, 2005 Mine certainly didn't Had the IC, Hard pipes, little box full of hoses and bits, stencil, instructions.... that was it. Mine was polished before it was delivered, any chance it could have been misplaced mate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
