Elec Power Steering Pump

[love ke70]

how weighty in comparison to a standard powersteering pump?

might be the easy way for me to go...

Bill, is it a standalone unit, with hoses running to the steering box or is it built into the steering box?

It's got hoses that run to/from the steering rack.
And connectors for power.

Not sure, I guess about twice as heavy - It's a bit bigger (longer) than an alternator.

there about 5kgs from memory.
the only thing im still not sure about them is the psi there rated at, cant find any info and havn't tested one yet.
not sure if it will still turn the tyres with high loads also ie: front end of an mr2 would be light by comparison to a 1uztt 4wd ta22. would be nice to know first.

hmmm i think that would require some work but then again check out the rest of jamies stuff and you just know that he's got way too much spare time on his hands.

MR2 version is commonly used in stockcars here in NZ, presuming you can find one. My brother has been looking for ages.

I wish that was true

Hey! Thanks for all the replies guys, it has given me plenty of options to go look at ,..
Yep it is a room thing ,.. i might be able to get in a small mech drive pump but jeez it want to be small ,.. i think an elec pump is looking the goods

You can get really small hyd pumps from EATON. Probably around 3inch od and up to 6 inches long, but it's been long enough to blur any memory of capacities in relation to flow rates and pressures (though being used in hydraulic apps I'm sure it would have been enough)

[mrshin]

Many cars just use an electric motor mounted on the steering column and avoid any hydraulics. They fit these to V8 supercars, so they'd probably be available as an aftermarket part, but I can't say anything about pricetag though...

[love ke70]

interesting concept mrshin, i might dig into that.
quaiffe quick rack, powersteering ends and more teeth cut into the rack.

add the powersteering and it may be manoeuvreable in carparks....

[SeptemberSquall]

New mini too I think

no, that's electronic power steering, not an electric power steering pump

yeah, current model rav, yaris, corolla, tarago,... also a smart unit which is speed sensitive too, varies assist with speed
