EP91Lover Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ive got a project on the go. Putting a different engine into a Glanza. Im going to do the Abs delete and want to remove the power steering. What would be the best way to do it? Any way i can mod my steering rack that I've got or will i need to change it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Loop the lines. Fit electric pump. Replace with an non p.s rack (may or may not need column) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

pockrockgtti Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Has anyone attempted to take the p/s rack apart and take out the seals to make it lighter to turn? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rmsnoel Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Google it theres alot of stuff on this out there pluq morgey talked about this a while back. It would hardly matter on a turbo car though.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Aamir Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Why not just remove the Power Steering fluid? Or the belt? So much easier lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That's it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chand Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I've been advised by tuner to pump gease in How hard is it to turn etc? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beastmode panda Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I've been advised by tuner to pump gease in How hard is it to turn etc? Well fuck the tuner lol mines been fine for nearly 2 years now. The rack will still have fluid in it to keep it lubed up. It's fine, as soon as you're moving it's pretty much like normal mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just strip the whole lot out til you get all the way to the sheering rack then you'll be left with 2 hard pipes, cut em down so they are eqal but stick out enough to get some braided hose and jibalee clips on. I'll take a picture for you as soon as I can mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chand Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 You haven't blanked anything What about the pipes which aren't hard pipes mate the feed to reservoir and the return from the pump? Yeah if you could do get some pics that would be great mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
