A better power steering reservoir, my 4th attempt.

damn...that's one expensive reservoir. what are the benefits to using that reservoir? the two that i see are, larger capacity and filtration.

It's the ONLY off the shelf can that will stop the pump from ingesting air from pump cavitation or overheating. This is due to increased capacity and because it's very well baffled. My reservoir mimics these without the filter, which you don't really need. I'll be testing this one on track and then moving forward with production if it's successful.

So how much for the kit without the fancy KRC res?? I see it on your site for 450 for the kit with the KRC goodies??

awwwww, come on man! don't say "ONLY"!!!! what other reservoirs do you have experience with? i'm actually putting together a p/s system for my new car that didn't come with it, so i'm pretty far down the rabbit hole of p/s stuff, so this is very interesting to me.

i just google image'd "power steering reservoir" and found a couple that look to be of decent quality, but i'm only judging based off their aluminum finish and price :P

looks decent and has dual filters

i run a turnone rebuilt ls1 p/s pump in my ls1. it was highly recommended to me, so i assume the reservoir is also of high quality. the reservoir has an internal "tee baffle", whatever that is.

any input on either one of those?

also, could you measure the capacity of that new KRC one that you have?

alsooooo, you mentioned your prototype reservoir not having a filter. i was planning on running one of these Cardone filters if i ended up going with the stock s13 reservoir, since apparently filtering your p/s is a thing (i had no idea). Cardone PNs = 20-0038F, 20-P038F, 20-0012F, 20-0058F

dibs on your prototype? :P

hey Poorman, wasn't codyace running a cooler on his p/s setup and still having issues with "strawberry milkshake"? right? i just read all 13 pages of it on NRR...so apparently just slapping a cooler doesn't necessarily fix that problem.

although........it seems that his issue was from debris getting stuck in the "main pressure fitting and the flow control valve"
