if i was to fit a power steering rack to my car, (dont need fitting info) and i fitted an electric power steering pump, would i be able to adjust the strength of the power steering, or even switch it off

i heard that it may harm the rack if switched off.

p.s. it would be a mk2 cav p/s rack.

Try sending Gary a PM he has electric power steering on his astra.

 

[sultanhq]

what is the score with electric ps pumps? how much are they? do they mount where the belt driven pump is?

 

[DarrenH]

you can put the pump anywhere the pipes will reach.

PM animal also, he had leccy pump on his cally.

 

[sultanhq]

ok, the thing is, would it naker the rack if i turned the pump off, for track day fun for example?

 

[Gary]

nope, no harm in that - I have mine on a switch controlled relay and tend to knock it off on the motorway etc..

 

[green manalishi]

gary, how much are they? where did you get it?

my belt driven pump is on it's way out and vx want £333.33 for an exchange (ex vat!!) lmao

i was going to do the scrapyard challenge, but electric pumps sound the way forward (especially the turn-on-and-offability)

 

[sultanhq]

can you get electric p/s pumps from any other moters from a scrappy?? i heard that some frnch cars use leccy p/s?

 

[sultanhq]
