Hi guys.

I have an Euro Market S14 OEM SR20DET, ZENKI.
Take a look at the pictures, please...

There are two pipes from the power steering pump and rack, that go for some reason, all the way accross the engine bay, then exit the engine bay to the passanger side wing, LOOP AROUND and go back again.

I would imagine this is for cooling purposes, so i was wondering if this, or something simmilar is going on on your cars as well.

It seems that other market S14, or different years, dont have these.
Meaby those use some other way of cooling ?

The thing is, that the piping that goes to the wing, interfeers with the placement of my engine oil cooler setup, and i was thinking of shortening it, by connecting the two pipes marked with red.

What do you guys think about it ?

Thanks.
