Power Steering
Use Pentosin CHF 202 synthetic hydraulic fluid.
Hydraulic (GM Pump)
Option A: Sikky Line Kit
Sikky sells a Genesis power steering line kit (PS105, $167.99) for LS1/LS2-style pumps, either alone or as an add-on to their swap kit. It's the bolt-in route.
Option B: Adapt the Factory Lines
If you're not getting the Sikky line kit, you'll need an adapter for the high-pressure PS line that ends near the front subframe. Don't cheap out: other adapters have been tried and leak. Or mount directly to the rack with the Russell fitting below.
- KRC 10122000: steel, male -6 AN to male M16 x 1.5 O-ring, straight (O-rings included). Summit currently lists it as unavailable, so check other KRC dealers.
- Russell 648060: aluminum, -6 AN to 16mm x 1.5 O-ring, straight. Adapts directly to the rack.
Pressure Reducer
The GM pump puts out about 1200 psi; the Genesis rack needs about 850 psi. Use a pressure reducer kit with 2 or 3 of the supplied shims. Some have gotten away without shims, so this is debatable.
- Example: Tuff Stuff 5552 850 psi pressure valve (about $23), used by LS swappers to reduce pressure on GM Type II pumps. Confirm it fits your specific pump before ordering.
