Keep It Cool
The Fuji Racing Track Attack Power Steering Cooler has been meticulously engineered to fit all Subaru models from 2007 onward that utilize hydraulic power steering systems. This innovative cooling kit has undergone extensive testing during track days, specifically designed for longer 2-hour sessions rather than shorter 15-20 minute intervals. As a result, it has demonstrated a significant ability to reduce power steering temperatures throughout an entire day of racing.
For Subaru enthusiasts who regularly track their vehicles, it’s not uncommon to experience noticeable issues with the power steering system. You may encounter a whine from the power steering pump during tight turns or notice that the steering feels heavy when rapidly navigating chicanes. These problems arise because the power steering fluid can become excessively hot, leading to reduced efficiency and responsiveness. The Track Attack Power Steering Cooler effectively addresses these challenges by maintaining optimal fluid temperatures. This enhancement not only boosts driver confidence while cornering but also extends the lifespan of the power steering components, allowing for increased track time and improved overall performance.
This cooling kit boasts a nearly universal design, suitable for all Subaru models manufactured from 2007 onward. Installation requires minimal modification: the cooler mounts directly to the front panel with just one hole needing to be drilled for an M6 bolt and nut. It is advisable to position the oil cooler in close proximity to the A/C radiator. This stacked configuration allows air to flow smoothly through both the oil cooler and the A/C radiator without any obstruction, promoting efficient cooling and improved airflow dynamics.
Regarding the oil line setup, the installation is consistent across all compatible models, including the Impreza, Forester, Exiga, and WRX STi. The included hoses can be routed through the inner fender area and beneath the headlight for a clean and unobtrusive installation. The kit also provides 5 meters of high-quality hose, giving you the flexibility to tailor the routing as needed to suit your specific setup and preferences.
By upgrading to the Fuji Racing Track Attack Power Steering Cooler, you’re not only investing in improved performance and reliability on the track, but also enhancing your overall driving experience.
