Power steering oil cooler?
Anyone ever did a power steering oil cooler setup in their vehicle?

Pondering if it makes sense installing in my project vehicle.
Since heat is the worst thing in these systems.

Doing a fmic in the middle.
Engine oil cooler.
And power steering oil cooler.

Basic ac and stuff still remaining.

Its a basic sr20ve with a gt28. Meth inj. 280hp and sorts. Gathering parts right now.

I've done custom lines with AN fittings and a 4 row cooler but I think the easiest thing to improve on the cooling aspect of the system is to get a bigger reservoir made out of aluminum. There's no high pressure lines going to the reservoir so you don't have to worry about making high rated lines. Do you plan to be autocrossing this?

If you were to do a cooler, you don't actually need much airflow, it'll do the job by acting as a heatsink. You could leave it in the stock location or somewhere closer to the pump/rack.

Auto crossing yes.
And mountain running. Basically through the hills.

The reservoir seems like the easiest way. I could modify a large oil catch can.
