Does anyone know what this pump setup is ?





fancy it, but do not fancy the £1100 bill from prebfab

Corsa and pug 206's i heard have this fitted, does anyone know....

Rick

Yea - get in touch with Martin at MEF motorsport - he's been playing with them - wreckons he can do it loads cheaper.

With the amount of porn i own, erm YES

pas on a mk2 scrote? no neeeeeeeeed. if you're driving it properly, the steering goes properly light when the back is hanging

Yep thats a corsa setup.

If you want it to be speed sensitive still though you need an interface to chat to the ECU that controls it.

Or you can just put it on a switch if you just want it for manouvering around.

Just having a look at all the options as i have had nothing but issues with the steering

Im doing similar on one of my girlfriend's cars soon (a mini) with the corsa setup, she sadly suffers from a bit of athritis (diagnosed back when she was only 14 ) and due to the wide wheels, small steering wheel, and fairly quick ratio rack it makes it very hardwork at low speeds

Can give you the number of a friend of ours who has recently put a similar converstion on a manta 400 massive improvements.....there are a couple of other lads up here running mk 2's with p.s. convertions....

saxo does it the pump and rack way too, common conversion on calibra turbos

apples24

i know were i can get one these motors and id remove it with plugs and as much cable as possible


so do they need hard wiring into ecu for speed sensing or not? if not its a straight forward job really?

Got a mate whos friend makes a controller for the motor to add resistance

Even better

mine uses electro-hydraulic - but youve gotta have a power rack to begin with

CozzyBrom

been there done that
you also need a box of tricks which controls its and theres a pulse needed which normally can out the ecu
my mate done it on his short oval racer

Steve,

My golf is having this fitted over the next few weeks, corsa column, adjustable pulse thingy. Controller will be about £185.

Brom, been where and done what ? (hate people that say that and then don't offer advice )

Cheers mike, will have to use you a crast test dummie then

CozzyBrom

ding i no my typing is shite but i have told you that you need to get a box of tricks to create the pluse

Which electric pump would you recommend for use with a sierra cosworth power rack?

Ollie

Dingo we put n wired 1 up on a clio a week or 2 back , piece of piss

Saxo / 106

There are 2 types the upright one is the easiest to fit and sort out all the fittings for

Corsa B is the model i have sorted

Cheers oli

Steve,

The controllers from AMT are £100 not £180 as I mentioned the other day. I will show you the one for mine next week.

Saxo one is a high pressure fluid pump and the Corsa B has a powered column one. Hence my answer to the question asked

ALL good info...

Cheers Mike, better than the 1100 from prepfab

8pot

Ask them if they have the decimal point in the right place. Anyway, have you not got a loom to do instead of playing on computers??

Started it actually so

Is the wiring 12 volts from the ignition direct to the pump (via a relay?) or to its own ecu (didn't know if they are variable pressure)?

NUTS RuS

No ECU necessary - Direct feed pump via relay & 30A fuse.

We normally put them on a seperate switch on the dash too - so its selectable on/off

Some Clio's have a similar set up too

fitzy_88

Mate,

in your experience is it ok to run a power rack without the pump pumping?
Could you wire it up to a potentiometer and so slow the pump down?

Also, what do you use to mate the pump up to the rack? Is it a job for a hydraulics company as its pretty high pressure.. c 1000 psi.

Stuart.W

Forgot to ask, is the upright pump found on both the Saxo and 106?

RichardPON

I think the 205 lot used to take the PAS off the car, and leave the power rack in, creating more off a quick rack feel.

NUTS RuS

Okay to run a power rack with no power yes, the fluid just gets moved manually. As Rich says its a commonish idea in some forms of sport. Why do you feel you would need to slow it down ? Obviously its only pumping its hardest on full lock to lock turns - not something that happens a lot on the road

The upright one which looks about the size of a coke bottle with a motor underneath is found on some Saxo's and Clio's and we always use hydraulic hoses with proper crimped ends yes.
