Bastel Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I want to remove the belt-driven power steering from my engine compartment. My problem is I do without the luxury of a power steering will not. My thought there is an electronic power steering system by another car to take over and build the equipment near the gear down. Did any of you ever done such a work? or a good idea how can I implement it? My problem is I need the space for further tuning. Whether this conversion is necessary, a secular state run show I have an idea how I can still get more torque from the engine. But for just the hydraulic lines are gone.

lukeEP82 Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Has anyone ever done this, removed the power steering. ? It would be nice to loose the heavy pump and pipe work. Can you just unbolt the pipes and still have steering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
_shaun_ Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 u need to swap the rack over to a non powersteering rack if u just unbult the pump and pipes it will go stupidly heavy steering Quote Link to post Share on other sites
glanzagee Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Is the shaft not smaller on the non ps rack Who's done this conversion can you respond Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 You get used to driving with no power steering, it's not much trouble. I'm running 16x8" wheels on mine so they are heavier than most popular 15s, my PS hasn't been working for 2 months and it doesn't feel too heavy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Been driving my car the last 2 years with the pipes looped over at the rack, think its now on irs way out though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rob Scott Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 i took the powersteering off our rallycross paseo, remove everything including the rack,take all solid pipes off the rack, and empty all the hydraulic fluid out of it. now find some bolts to screw in the holes left by the pipes, and chop them off flush, so they are blanking plugs to stop dirt and dust getting in there.now refit the rack.
