Power Steering Cooler Kits
 

Whether you're running a FMIC on your MS3, where you've had to modify your factory power steering cooler to make room, or looking for cooler PS fluid temp on your MS3 or MS6, there is a solution!

The Damond Motorsports Power Steering Cooler Kits utilize a stacked plate cooler design, over a tube and fin design. The stacked plate cooler design can provide more effective cooling with a smaller sized cooler, and it is more durable, compared to tube and fin design coolers.

We offer two different mounting locations for the 07-09 MS3, to allow for fitment on vehicles with or without front mount intercoolers. Many intercooler kits require the factory powersteering cooler to be relocated, and are rarely supplied with relocation mounting hardware.

During testing on my old MS6, with a smaller cooler (50% less surface area than the coolers in the kits), 15-25% cooler fluid temperatures were achieved, depending on the location of the cooler.

Our powersteering cooler kits are complete kits, and we include everything needed to install the cooler in the desired location.

Prices are $90-95, depending on the car, free shipping.



For the MS3:
Recommended for use with FMICs
Cooler is located above the intercooler and out of the way
Cool air is provided by the front bumper fascia
Ambient temperature sensor can be easily relocated

For the MS6:
Same location as the factory cooler
Hot air is pulled from the wheel well shroud. Fog light shroud can be modified to provide more air flow to the cooler
Will not fit with CAIs and some FMICs

Custom universal PS cooler kits available, just ask!

Feel free to post up any questions, comments, or whatever that you may have about the PS cooler kits.

Matt both genwon installs say with fmic. Um assuming the second is no fmic installed?

Thanks skeeter, you're correct, the V2 kit is intended for MS3's without FMIC.

@MajesticBlueNTO;

Matt. I want one for my Genwan /w FMIC.

I can grab it off you at MNM.

Awesome, I'm gonna pack up a lot of stuff for the meet, so I'll be able to make you one on the spot. Hell, we can prob throw it on quick, if you'd like. The longest part of the install is removing and installing the bumper.

Ordered mine the other day. Don't pack too many, I need to get mine on before MNM. lol

Will be ordering a MS3 kit in the next few days... This is a good looking kit at a reasonable price!

You should be getting it in the next couple days, I shipped it out earlier today.

Bump! I may have a cooler or two in stock...

Do you have any larger coolers by chance? I need a better one on my Jeep. I just recently installed hydro assist steering on it and the hydraulic cylinder gets pretty hot so i need a better cooler. Let me know if you have something bigger and better.

Damn. I need this. Having a hard time installing Spearco FMIC hot pipe cause the cooler is in the way. Hopefully I can get it to not be in the way enough to get the FMIC done so I can drive my car. But I do want one of these. Possibly have you ship 2 to save on shipping. One for me one for @DSIT995;.

Wrong thread so we can discuss in PMs, but I also need to speak to you about redoing my PCV system. I have an SM OCC mounted by horn with two OEM PCV valves so need to replace one with a check valve and replace hose. Hose is OK and hasn’t collapsed but has clogged and caused dipstick issues until I cleaned it. It is just NAPA hose so its really stiff.
Was looking at getting a perm plate, but dont know if it is necessary. But I had oil in my CAI/TIP that was dripping out of TIP before turbo and made a mess. So want to do something with VC vent. I assume just going to a vented OCC would work...IDK./wrong thread post

Just placed my order for the MS6 cooler. Thank you SO much for producing these, man. My MS6 was having trouble at the last auto-x and I blew a line at a track day so I'm looking forward to installing your kit and replacing the lines and keeping the ole girl cool.

I think the last post just answered my question, if this cooler would help elinate PS fatigue when the rack is at full turn for long periods of time

You shouldn't ever have your PS pump at full lock for long periods of time. It's not good for the pump. And if ya think about it, if your at full lock, you're not moving the steering wheel so it wouldn't heat up the fluid. I noticed my PS was getting harder to turn the wheel at a hot auto-x because I'm constantly sawing the wheel back and forth. But I'm no racing/mechanical expert.

I'm just curious, are you circle racing or something with your MS6?

oil coolers soon?!?!?

Installed mine yesterday. Cleans up the front so much and crazy easy to install.

tapatalk sucks.

+ transmission and diff coolers? :D

I mention that in the idea thread.....

So is there a version for the 6 that will work with a FMIC and not put it in the stock location? If you need to use a smaller heat exchanger I'm fine with that. I'm really just looking for a cooler that will perform as good as stock but in a different location.

@Matt@DamondMotorsports;

Well, the stock location works with most if not all FMICs... unless you're doing sumtin custom.

Regardless, I'm sure we'll have kits in stock when you come around for winter break or whenever Austin, and I can do a custom set-up for you, if you'd like to come by.

So...this will help me steer faster?

Well, the coolers are meant to cool the PS fluid, not really alter steering. If you're fluid way fried, there would be more resistance in the steering wheel.

The most noticeable way to alter steering would an alignment. But if you're looking to "steer" faster, this is the best way...

Yea the stock works with the custom kit I have now. But barely. It rubs on my piping which I'm planning on getting refinished this winter so I'd rather not have it rub through the finish again. And it squeaks/rattles at low rpm from the rubbing, not to mention the piping has to stick out under my bumper to make its way around the cooler. And my cooler is pretty rusty and I've seen them crack open from rust so I figured getting a different set up now would be the best time.

I'll get in touch with you when I get home for break. Thanks Matt!

Couple pics of the track PS cooler set-up in the works. I'll be working on a front mount location on the MS6 hopefully shortly after Xmas, for both the larger track cooler, and the coolers currently in our kits.

Hey Matt, do you have any pictures oh how far back that track mount location is? ie how close is it to the plastic that makes the front of the wheel well?

Also can the regular cooler be mounted back that far?

Not so much, it sits basically as forward as the standard coolers in the kits, where there's enough space for most FMIC piping, however the track cooler in that location doesn't really allow for FMIC piping to be ran thru that area over the frame rail.

Lets meet up sometime soon, and I'll get you set-up with a front mount option.

How's the front mount setups coming along? OEM PS cooler and hardline is interfering with the pipes in the HDI fmic kit so i need to relocate the cooler, upgrading at the same time is win win

I'll see if I can have it ready in a couple weeks. I know @Farhan@DM; needs one on his MS6.

Matt,
do you have some PS coolers coming in soon. I need one for my MS6. Website says second week of November. That correct timing?

Any word on the PS coolers? I've been waiting for it to come back in stock. I'm in need of one.

Finally coming in! We have a pre-order open now for the kits. Expected to ship the 22nd, possibly sooner. After the 22nd, prices are going a tiny bit up.

Ordered!

I love my PS cooler, no more boiling PS fluid on the dragon! One of the best reliability upgrades for the 6 IMO.

Nice! I need this! I boiled my fluid and cooked my pump on my first trip to the dragon.

Looking to order soon. My cooler is super corroded now and the hardline interferes with my new charge pipe routing. Just to be clear, the hose included replaces the hardline and both soft lines?

You use an existing rubber line (s shaped) that comes off near the front drivers wheel at the steering rack. You put it where the hardline used to be near the front subframe behind the bumper (where it was connected with a shorter rubber hose...typically your drain point.) the included rubber line goes where the old s hose was pulled from (steering rack area) and routes up to the front.

The hardline from the pump and resoivoir to the front left of the car remains untouched up until the short rubber hose where the second hardline starts at the factory ps coooler.

I ordered a replacement s hose when I did mine.. Might as well it was like 12bucks to be worry free

Super excited, just ordered mine! Had nothing be good luck with Damond products. Have a CX Racing piping kit (customized by RPM performance) and TR8 core on the way, and with my stock PS cooler all rusty and corroded figured this would be a good option to take.
