I’m glad I came across this video, doing a lt swap but don’t want to buy the serpentine kit, got a mustang 2 front end with rack and pinon need to get oil to it,
Also, the Durango pump is even bigger (more flow) and faster responding than the volvo/fomoco pumps. Oh, and it lays horizontal rather than all those vertical pumps.
Here's that controller kit for the Volvo donor units: www.brunosteering.com/product/new-automatic-gps-volvo-c30-c70-s40-v50-power-steering-controller-kit/
Crazy that rear mount or front mount doesnt change response time. Do you think i could run 2 Volvo electric power steering pumps separately, one on steering and one on hydroboost brakes? Or would one be enough for both steering and hydroboost brakes? If i ran just one for both steering and brakes, would it need to be turned up on the pressure (max setting)?
I need some help. I put the Volvo pump in my trunk with the controller and I have the pump running full speed with the car stopped at idle. The problem I have is the first second or so of steering input it is tight and then it gets power assist. And also like many others have said if I turn the wheel one way and then change it the other way it gets tight for the first second trying to turn the other direction. Idk what to do! I tried running it on ATF, I switched it to CHF202, then I tried swapping racks, all the same.
Doesn’t the SW20 pump have a pressure adjustment nut so you can adjust the assist amount up or down? I keep getting told that the Volvo pumps die too quick but the SW20 pump will last at least 1-2 years, what is your experience?
Ive been running the sw20 pump for a couple of year’s no issue. I have heard you can adjust the pressure via the screw you can see on the top left side in this video, however i havent played with it
I’m looking at a mr2 pump for my e46 drift car and it has efactory angle kit similar to slr kits and I’m a small guy so I’m wondering if the mr2 pump would still be okay for me
