We install an electric power steeing setup in my LS Swapped Mazda Miata because we keep killing normal pumps. Once installed we take it to the track to see how it feels!

It might be PWM controlled internally but the signal comes from the CAN interface of the vehicle to talk to the pump. I think the default is to run at 70% but that is not enough when tasking it with a load in drifting or racing.

@@Taylordrifts that may be I guess I just assumed PWM. I mean unless you can find a stand alone controller the only option for this pump to develop the pressure is going to be pair it with a lower pressure rack that or design a controller to go behind the canbus. Can is just a communication protocol. There has to be a workaround because the pump "receives" the signal over can and the controller just turns something on or off.

I would mount my pump as close as I could to the rack or box. Keep in mind that you're losing response time and line pressure as you increase the pressure line length.
@nickquatrini
@nickquatrini Жыл бұрын
Has anybody tested this to confirm? I'm doing the install soon and I'm not sure where to mount the pump. But I would think in a hydraulic system the length of the line shouldn't matter because fluid doesn't compress. Therefore once the pump generates pressure that pressure would appear on the other end of the line almost instantly since the fluid doesn't have to flow to build pressure. I would think the flow rate of the line would be more vital than the length of it. Thus, if he is having issues with response he should opt for a thicker feed line, not a shorter one. Its the opposite of intercooler piping because air compresses, fluid does not. But if you have real world experience with this, I would be curious to hear what you have to say.

@user-dx4br5gd1r Жыл бұрын
@@nickquatrini I wasn't saying that the fluid would compress. The pump still has to move the fluid and that has weight and resistance. The longer the hose the greater the resistance...the slower the response time. The wall thickness and material does expand and contract and will have an effect as well. I would want the lightest system with the least resistance and deflection. A heavy or thick hose adds weight to the vehicle...not what I'd want.

Electric any pump puts out a constant psi, usually more than idle and about 3000-4000 rpm-ish. Since Taylor is use to high rpm manual pump psi it's gonna feel harder and of course the long lines n fittings will drop it some.

It's years after the fact, but that Volvo unit puts out about 600psi and the Miata rack in an NA needs about 1100 or 1500 in an NB. A Holden Astra unit is popular and outputs 1500psi. Some people use MR2 units, but they're worse for this application at about 300psi.

If this is a modern pump it has to 'see' a can signal. If not it will turn in limp mode. If this is a can bus pump there are 2 not used pins, were the can bus wiring(always 2 twisted wires) is put on. You will measure 120 ohms on these 2 pins.....Every can bus driven car equipment has a build-in 120-ohm resister, providing signal echo on the wires.

I have a hot tip for anyone with a stupid low car, watch what they do in the pits at an Australian touring car race. You’ll be on the net looking for the parts the instant you see them jack up the car. Not exactly an electric power steering system. It’s an electrically driven hydraulic power steering system. A true electric system doesn’t use hydraulics it uses a manual rack and a motor on the steering shaft.

A lot of good brainstorming in the comments. One comment about the voltage dropping on the skidpad runs, looking back at the video it looks like there is even a yellow light flickering every now and then(warning light?) and it looks like a low to no charge situation. Also a comment about the long runs of the fluid lines. Possibly replace with a hard line and possibly larger diameter for more volume, especially on the return. Another point about the pump possibly needing another input for full pressure output, but I assume that this pump shouldn't need that if it's been spec'd for universall use.

That’s a diesel pump which is ecu driven. Need a twr ts astra pump and also putting it in the boot will cause pressure drops and delay In the steering when you first pull the wheel on initiation. Also the belt set up is not ideal. Routing it with the smaller belt means you have lost 2/3 of the belt wrap on the Front pulley. Best way is buy a pulley for a vf commodore from Australia. They have a pulley and bracket that bolts straight onto the bolts where the alternator was and it’s about $50. Then you can still have full wrap around the bottom and will have less chance of belt slip under revs. I have all the gm part numbers for the pulley and bracket if u need them.

I was just watching your video on all your vehicles from a few weeks ago trying to get caught up on your content again, and honestly for that GC6 I'd get another 5MT and grab some Blast Plates for like a tenth of the price of a 6MT swap. I have an 05 WRX and I've had it since February 2018, blew the engine (spun bearings) in February 2019, and just got it back on the road about a week ago with an EJ207 swap. I have heard good things about the Blast Plates, especially if you're sticking under 350-400HP like the stock WRX engine. I plan on getting some soon so I don't grenade 3rd gear under load.

Heck you could probably just fab your own now that I think about it. You've got all the stuff to do so.

I was thinking just fit a smaller auxiliary drive pulley on the crank, but I see why you didn't go that route. The 'binding up' is usually because the pump cannot keep up with the flow required to match the rack movement and, in extreme cases, there may be problems with the fluid overheating and boiling - that may be part of the issue with your installation - have you upgraded the cooling for it's fluid* as the OEM cooler is often just a run of plain pipe in front of the radiator and it will certainly not be up to 'spirited' driving. Some of these electric pumps can draw a LOT of current, so that may need to be taken into account. Some are also controlled by either voltage or PWM, and can be modified for manually selecting the amount of assistance - you may also be able to have it driven by the ECU, if it supports it and, if you're fortunate, possible by the gear. Provided you use a reasonable size for the fittings and hoses, a rear installation shouldn't cause too much of a problem - I might suggest an accumulator (mounted to the front?), to help maintain a consisent pressure to the rack under extreme direction changes. *A small oil cooler on the return line should make a significant difference.

My thoughts are still on bad pump because even just sitting it was stiff. But if a new thoroughly tested pump doesn’t solve the issue then it’ll be time to change and do electric column or work on solutions. I didn’t route it though my cooler because from what I’ve seen it doesn’t overheat like a normal pump would.

I thought you were doing a BRZ or Prius electric rack. I used the same heavy duty GM alternator for a stereo install. It runs at a constant 13.7v at idle, 14.5v at 3k rpms.

I’m trying man. I promise I am. It’s a lot to juggle when you’re doing everything yourself from ordering the parts and making sure you got everything. To doing all the work on the project then To editing the video to trying to spend time with family. It’s just a lot to juggle. I bought a parts truck for the fummins over a weak ago from auction. It should have been here by now but for some reason it’s delayed. Stuff like that happens and throws a wrench in everything. I’m trying to get the fc done. And the Subaru. And some stuff on the cefiro so I can get rid of them all and have room for new stuff that’s more fun and out there. But I need to slim down the herd first. And I drift this car. So I’m always tinkering with it. I know some people enjoy it so I film it. But I don’t expect it to be everyone’s cup of tea. Regardless of having my other projects ready to be worked on I would still have to get this project done.

Never thought power steering pumps could be this prone to failure. The local guys here that drift BMW's live on the rev limiter and their pumps seem ok, perhaps a power steering pump from a BMW might help?

Not to rain on your parade but you need electro-mechanical power steering, what you have now is electro-hydraulic power steering. You need a steering column from a saturn ion or chebby cobalt, LOTS of guys run that setup! No fluid, no mess, no hoses, LOTS of assistance (too much but its adjustable) CHEAP!! Believe me, its the way to go!

I'm running this volvo pump using a PWM and it works fine but mine is installed close to the rack and pinion. Haven't had a problem but I pulled mine out of a 2004 I believe volvo S40 which didn't run CAN but PWM from factory.

my wifes nissan has eps, if you crank on it hard to make a u turn or doing some hard cornering it gets really heavy. its really weird and hard to get used to coming from vehicles with hydro or manual steering.
