It looks so good. I think I'm going to order one kit soon and more in the future. Traditional hoses with clamps are so bad... One thing is I still don't know how do you determine half of the tank, but that material catching additional fluid is great solution. If you don't mount cooler what can possibly go wrong? Your pump can get cooked if you drift too much?
Chase Bays PS Kit w/Cooler is a handsome neat kit. Mine had issues primarily with the whine or humming sound when parallel parking. With a new pump, a new steering rack, and a new Chase PS Kit w/Cooler installed and properly torqued, bled, etc. you would assume there will be no issues whatsoever, but unfortunately I experienced the annoying, constant noise somewhere in between the hoses and AN fittings. My kit had no visible leaks anywhere in between the hoses or AN fittings. Baffle reservoir always shows tiny micro bubbles despite bleeding the lines numerous times. I don’t have any leaks, but there’ was air in the power steering loop. The whine and hum was getting louder overtime, but yet I couldn’t locate where air was pulling in. I went ahead and checked the power steering pressure and also applied vacuum through the reservoir to see if it would hold 15 PSI and or 15 Hg and surprisingly it did not. I went ahead and bought OEM hoses and clamps and installed them with the OEM cooler and Chase Bays baffled reservoir (exchanged AN for clamp fittings). To my surprise, it turned out great. Hum/Whine was finally over. Issues were in between the AN and hoses. Also 6 months ago, my high pressure line from the pump to rack burst open from the 90 degree elbow near the rack high pressure banjo bolt. Chase Bays sent me a replacement under warranty hassle free. The E46 M3 S54 Kit is retailed for under $400 and is currently under revision and hopefully when it is available for purchase, Chase will consider a complimentary exchange for my early defective hoses or for a small fee.
@@G33ZiM3 I'm having this same issue. May I ask how you applied vacuum to the reservoir? It looks like the thread diameter of the reservoir cap is 1.25" - my idea was to see if a 1.25" PVC cap will fit so I can fit a nipple to it and run a vacuum pump.
There has been PS fluid leaking from the fittings since day 1. At first I didn't tighten the fittings enough. So I did and now it's sweating PS fluid from the swivel joints. I'm starting to regret my purchase. Not only did I experience poor shipping from Chase Bays but now I'm dealing with this mess. I'm just going to stick with genuine parts like I should have.
I'm gonna be really honest here. I installed my high pressure line (or the line that link from the steering rack to the pump) just how it was demonstrated here and now the swivel end attached to the rack is hitting my motor mount and doesn't allow the rack to be properly mounted on the subframe. Is it safe to flip the line and have the banjo bolt end on the rack and the swivel part on the pump? Because that would give me enough clearance to properly install the rack onto the subframe without hitting the motor mounts. I drive a 91 BMW 318i airbag version w/m42 engine.
@@TheGreener121 An fittings shouldn't need anything like that or thread tape. as long as youve got the right crush washers and all that. If you are having a leaking issue, please reach out to our customer service sales@chasbays.com
@@TheGreener121 Even then they shouldnt need anything on them. the crush washer and o ring have always worked like they should. Like i said above, if you're have an issue please reach out to our customer service team.
I finally purchased a power-steering delete kit for my 99 Acura integra Ls can you possibly make a pre bent bracket for clearing the brake lines that’s mounted to the firewall. So it don’t rub.
I should’ve watched this before I took all the fittings off the hoses... butttt the smaller line from the reservoir didn’t reach the rack sooooo..... 🤷♀️
I wonder why they don’t do Close shots so we can see the ACTUAL parts and fittings that they are ‘So Proud Of’, with they narrate over and give us specs and info.
YoungTimmy well if you go on the website you can see what’s included and if you understand your power steering system you’ll know everything that they would include in a kit to replace factory system
snowydaysalways too much work, that’s why I watch the video. I know how a PS system works, but dafaq are they so proud of, yet not even show It. Dumbest shit ever.
Jay St. Fleur it’s for people that run power steering obviously.. and chase bays made their reservoir to prevent common issues associated with power steering systems, especially for race cars which these kits are intended for..
Jay St. Fleur bro this isn’t for Honda application unless you’re doing a k swap and going to the track to beat it up lol why are you complaining. You sound like an idiot.
Why wouldn't you use an AN fitting on the reservoir return as well?
We do! We offer AN and OE Barb type.

What are the torque specs for the fittings with the aluminum crush washer?
I’m pretty late but , will this work on a b18c engine RHD civic ?
These videos are great, would love to see more of them! If you guys need an editor let me know!

@@I.Odnamra it somewhat goes way after it warm up but every cold start its whining 😒
@@Amgc4 nothing wrong with genuine parts. Just have to service it more often is all.

How much torque do the an adapters (o-ring ones) into steering rack take?
Torque specs like oem manual says?
We just tighten them until snug, we don't torque them at all.
@@ChaseBaysTV Aight ill try that... maybe add some hydraulic loctite on the upper threads

Nice...Now, when is chasebays going to make a vid or upload tons of pics on the wilwood proportion valve/brake relocation kit?
Great video, I could've used this a few months back. Glad to see it's available now.
Just purchased a kit for my E30 which has a Vickers pump. Wish me luck!
Always loved you guys and you are very local to me I'm from Hayden Alabama and I was wondering if you guys staff was full or if you needed anyone?
What would cause the res to get exceptionally hot, as in hot to touch?
I finally purchased a power-steering delete kit for my 99 Acura integra Ls can you possibly make a pre bent bracket for clearing the brake lines that’s mounted to the firewall. So it don’t rub.
I’m currently in the process of ordering the wrench set cause I’m figuring out what size the fitting size is
Anyone have the O ring fail in the bigger AN fitting connection to the res?
so this comes with everything but my power steering pump?
Brad Wrenn it’s litterally everything he showed in the video
Is there any way I can get a sponsorship better to ask than not to ask.
good tips

Debating between chase bays or isr ps kit
gm uses the swivel on their power steering on kodiaks.
Pumps don't output pressure they make flow. Resitence makes pressure

350z kit fits like garbage. Lots of problems trying to get it to fit properly in my car. Don't buy from these guys please
What is the point of this if I deleted my power steering pump entirely ...
