- Wanting to make a little series of videos when i turbo my stroker and this is my first attempt at making a video, will hopefully get good at it before any of the good stuff happens..
In this vid i simply change in the inlet of the Power steering pump to a compression fitting allowing it to be adapted to AN style fittings.
any tips and pointers on making the vids are welcome!

Nice job.
Short section with no audio due to copyright of a song on the radio haha
what brand fitting and series did you use?
proflow fittings, the compression fitting is a 5/8 tube to male -10AN adapter, then a 120 degree forged push on end.
I know this is old but what pump and reservoir did you use?
Pump is the factory one and the reservior is Aeroflow
Did you put anything between the male and female fittings? Or did they seal up with just metal against metal?
The fitting that go to the hose side are AN flare style fittings so its just metal to metal, and the fittings that go into the reservoir use a copper washer from memory.
@@SL1D1N Thank you!
I find it poor practice to use adjustable wrenches on those aluminum fittings. Wrap the fittings with tape, use a properly sized six point socket wrench, a good line wrench, or perhaps even the aluminum wrenches designed for soft A-N Fittings. Or else be prepared to touch-up the color with paint or a felt tip. Also be careful not to over tighten those aluminum fittings as they can self destruct, after all, they are only soft aluminum not hard steel (Don't ask how I know this)....RooDog
Still happy with it mate? No leaks?
Yep! Still works and looks great. Not a single drop, no weeps or film, nothing, and its been turbo now for 3 years so that area see's a lot a heat as well. Cheers
@@SL1D1N Brilliant, thanks for the video and reply. does the build link have the part numbers of the parts you used?
@@Funkyflykiwi nahh sorry mate, and i did this over 6 years ago so i cant remember much. They are pretty standard fittings though. Most of the aluminium fitting brands will stock them.
