B14 Power Steering Reservoir On B13 "HELP"
Is this a straight bolt on or do I have to modify it. I need feed back from any body who has done this conversion. Because I'm having trouble:

1. Short hose coming off the resevoir is to long now and is kinking at the heatsink/fin thing that connect to the body/chassis. (Do I cut Hose to make work?)
2. The resevoir that slides onto the bracket that mounts to the shock/strut tower sits really high and its even pushed all the way down (will this clear the hood with no problems, I would check but my car is completely apart on the front end Fenders/hood/engine (waiting on SR20VE) everything their is off the car.
3.Will the long hose coming off the resevoir going to power steering pump will this be direct bolt on to my SR20VE or do I need to go a different route (custom hose?)?

Thanks for any help

Why not just get a B13 reservoir? Not sure how many if any people have done this. Is there some sort of benefit?

the b13 reservoir tends to boil over and leak fluid all the time. the b14 reservoir they fixed that problem and looks way better then the b13 one.. i done this swap before and everythign was direct bolt on you can leave the breaket on the car because the reservoir slides slide right in it.

heres the b13 one



and here is the b14 one with classicadict in the backround looking high lol.. looks way better and cleaner.. lets see if i can find a shot with it in my engine bay


here is the pic with it in the car


also the hose you have should work with the VE

Also I charge my battery with this little guy...



It keeps it running fast!

Chriscar suggested the resevior swap as a direct bolt-in OEM upgrade.

Pre-owned engine parts from far off Florida and Andreas. Fuse box, bracket for a hose, and the radiator overflow bottle bracket. As far as I can tell, none of which are available new. Amongst the wonders of restoring a 1993 econobox, searching for parts.

Is this B14 reservoir the same found on the G20? There is a complete G20 on a junkyard close from where I live. I can get it from it but I need to know if is the same.
