BUDGET DRIFT FALCON | Dont Kill Your Power Steering!

After upgrading the steering lock for more angle, the power steering system had to work harder, & therefore generated more heat, which resulted in literally cooking the power steering pump at the track.

You're right Benny I have 5 or 6 of those little cutters, I use them all the time. Cheers from NZ, Phil.

No episode from Benny without spilling something on the floor.... :-)

I bet it's the same every morning.

Always happens with power steering pumps. The airate the oil so much! Worst part is because they have such a small reservior it just keeps cycling the air through the system!

[@ANIMALragemode]

Love this series, going to be finding a BA/BF for these shenanigans over the next few weeks.

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Nice!! They’re a great platform for the price

[@brentonhumphries2134]

Haha yes Benny I'm a fridgey and I've got that pipe cutter them little ones are very handy

[@jo300hn]

The vanes move in and out to compensate for the shape of the housing, and maintain a fluid seal. It's the volumetric change between consecutive blades and the out of round casing during rotation that generates pressure.

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Thanks for the clarification.

The aircon condenser has had a bit of durability testing done on it 😆... used to make them back in the day .

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Must have done a good job on this one, still holds pressure and is icy cold :)

@@BennysCustomWorks Denso quality ✅ just like mr Sparkle (Sparkalu) check check & check again

[@Levent_Ergun]

Im curious, would an underdrive pulley help in situations like these? Is that fluid cooking due to too much use or due to heat from the engine bay?

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Hey mate, yes I would say so 100%

[@MickeyJDM]

Literally going through this same process on my stagea. Standard power steering system wasn't a fan of the skid pan.

[@petestuff1]

and for everybody who does not have an oil company sponsor, using Honda fluid cures most problems on ford power steering systems.

[@wraithcadmus]

Informative, and some absolute banging tunes, is there a tracklist somewhere?

[@murph9935]

gotta say the soundtrack was bussin' on this ep

[@dazdragon445]

Great info

[@glensgraphix]

There was no Hi 5 at the end. Did you have to stay and not go home?

[@BennysCustomWorks]

I’m still here …..

[@FuManchu5ltr]

Recently got a Falcon PS pump that’s modified for my LS1 Cross8 build. I was told they are a better pump than the Holden one. Not entirely convinced of that. Also have to run Ford PS oil in the system. Have a decent cooler fitted too. I’m on the fence to fit it. Thoughts on that because as this shows, the Ford PS pump isn’t bullet proof either.

[@benni727]

first it was the ford 9inc to solve Holden problems. now its a ford power steering pumps haha

[@TheBASR05]

Ive got a pump off my old ba turbo burnout car never had a high pressure line replaced never leaked and is still quiet as a mouse and its seen 6500rpm hitting full lock i literally kept it because its a unicorn pump 😅

[@haydenauld1022]

6:35 what is that adapter called that you are using to connect the 2 hoses? And where can I buy one?

[@bigcazza5260]

i just killed a pump in my au rip i need to drain mine coz ive topped it up with just farmyard hydraulic oil rip

[@paulthesurfer7470]

oscillating ring

[@alanclarke5979]

If you keep having dramas I'd go back to running a 75w/80 gear oil or 75w/85 gear oil in the P/S with the cooler aswell shouldn't ever see problems

[@brian9899]

Its a rotary pump,

[@BennysCustomWorks]

Thanks mate :)

[@W0rp3D]

Can you just go straight to the astra pump set up, really want to do it but would like to see a wiring guide first, there is a video of one in an xb conversion but it has a delayed start, some mentioned how to wire it right but would like to see some one I trust do it first

[@BennysCustomWorks]

All the ones I’ve seen are delayed too.

[@W0rp3D]

@@BennysCustomWorks here is the video I was talking about kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6qZoISGf69lp7s you will see in the comments some one said they made up something so it starts instantly and others claim certain wiring does the same thing

[@5UPRAH]

5:30 - why the hell is that air con rad even there?

[@BennysCustomWorks]

It still holds pressure

[@earlyre]

Wait what... A late 90's/early 2000's ford with a whining/bad power steering pump? That would never happen..

[@Doc_in_the_carpet_truck]

Haha all the first comments Porn!!! Moist they are for sure maybe but i'm broke 😂👍🍻 gonna get a t-shirt but 15% off getting in on that action. Question is Benny what brand are they ?? Me being on the beers fat hoping they are AS XL for sure

[@BennysCustomWorks]
