Power Flow Power Steering Pump Kit 1650PSi
3.0L V6 (3VZ-E) W/ABS
We all know that the stock pump on a 3.0 is just not enough to turn big tires or run a ram assist and when you try and drill out the inlet to get more volume the result is a loud pump followed by pump failure. A new Toyota stock pump puts out around 1,300 PSI at only one gallon per minute. The Power Flow Pump puts out 1,650 PSI at 4-4.5 GPM, which is more than enough volume to provide you with the steering power that you will need to turn big tires or run a ram assist or full hydraulic steering system. Trail-Gear has hand picked each component in this kit to ensure quality, ease of installation, and durability. This kit ships complete with all parts included and full color installation instructions.
Recommended only with RAM ASSIST or Full Hydro systems. If using without RAM ASSIST, this may fatigue your Steering Box!
NOTE: This pump and bracket is designed to fit all Toyota V6 3.0 Pickups and 4Runners from 1989-1995. This kit will not work on 4Runners with a functioning AC, because the AC cooling fan must be removed for the placement of the PS Pump cooler. For vehicles WITH ABS. This kit does not fit Toyota V6 3.0 Pickups without AC. Never use ATF fluid, or a semi-synthetic blend. This will void the warranty. Ok to use standard power steering fluid or a full synthetic.

Installation Instructions:
1. Remove the battery
2. Remove power steering pump pulley. Loosen main bolt with belt still tight. A chain wrench may be required.
3. Disconnect the vacuum lines from the power steering pump and replace with two 1/4” vacuum caps at the manifold.
4. Disconnect hydraulic lines from the brake actuator (located behind the passenger side front tire). Have a pan ready to catch any drainage. Once drained, remove lines from power steering pump. IMPORTANT: Save bolt and crush washer from banjo fitting. (
NOTE: If you have a non-ABS 3.0, please see step 4 continued at the end of these instructions.)
4. Continued - Non ABS: Supplied in the non-ABS 3.0 kit is a longer power steering pressure hose and longer return line. This is so you can run the high pressure power steering line from your power steering pump straight to your power steering gearbox or IFS box
5. Remove the power steering pump and its main support bracket. IMPORTANT: Save lower bolt.
5. Continued - Non ABS: High pressure power steering line and return line will run from high pressure pump out of the access hole near the passenger side of the radiator, then back into the access hole on the driver’s side of the radiator as seen in the photo. Note: Use provided zip-ties to keep line from moving. A power steering line sheath or cover should be used to prevent chafing or rubbing.
6. Loosen fixtured wire channel from underneath inner fender using a screwdriver to gently pry the clips through the holes.
6. Continued - Non ABS: The high pressure steering line will attach to the steering box as shown in the photo below.
7. Test fit bracket with reservoir attached to ensure clearance below for suction line. Mark hole locations and drill through inner fender with an 8mm or 5/16” drill bit. Fasten bracket with 1/4" x 3/4" bolt, 1/4” stover nuts, and 1/4” fender washer. Refasten wire channel.
8. Loosely fasten power steering bracket to pump. Attach the adjuster bracket to pump, then to lower support bracket using previously saved bolt. Attach to engine using 5/16” nuts and bolts. Attach high pressure line from pump to ABS actuator using previously saved banjo bolt and crush washer.
8. Continued.
9. Re-insert the stock bolt with the provided spacer In the location shown.
9. Continued: Mount cooler to the radiator using the ties provided. Connect two 3/8” hoses from cooler to ABS actuator and side port on the reservoir.
