yeah i wasnt going to just toss it. I said that so everyone could get the idea that i wanted it out................I guess it wasnt really needed for me to say that huh? :hammer:simply but dont toss it ppl might wanna buy this in the future but who knows um good luck there is many line that have to be handle with and unbolted!!!
But i do or dont need to run a block off plate after removing it?I would take it all out if your going to remove it. weight reduction......
I would think a vac. pump or the like would help to remove all the fluid first.
Try honda-tech. I've been doing some research on there and there is so much info in the archives.
that was my understanding also, but i remember seeing a thread about power steering removal kits, but i cant find the thread anymore.........if you find any info on h-t about it, let me knowI dunno for sure. I'm guessing it's a self contained unit. I mean all the fluid should just run in to the resivor. so if you remove everything there shouldn't be anything to block off.
it depends on which way i have to mount the turbo in there. If my dp runs over toward the driver side, then i will need to remove it. My dp is designed to run toward the passenger side, so hopefully i can do that. But even if i do that, i will need to find a place to fit a filter on the turbo, and i think the pump could get in the way of that. im not sure, but it seems alot of people have to remove their p/s with bigger turbos. mine has a .70 compressor, so its not exactly small.why would you need to take it off. i understand why you have to take out a/c, but is there something that is going to stick out in the way of the pump.

However, I have to point out that a PS rack with PS pump removed is great for autox since the ratio of steering wheel to wheel turn is larger. Yes it's harder to turn but you don't have to turn the steering wheel as much to make the wheels turn. Plus you get a real good feel for the road... :mikej:Dude, for your safety!!! Buy a non PS rack and pinion!
Using your PS steering without its pump can be dangerous if u ever loss control (hope u never)
The PS rack and pinion is harder to turn w/out its pump VS a non PS rack and pinion.

I can understand it on a racing purpouse. But I had the PS belt broken once.. and I had to drive trough a rural area with lots of short turns...However, I have to point out that a PS rack with PS pump removed is great for autox since the ratio of steering wheel to wheel turn is larger.

Looping the P/S is not the same as having a broken belt. The broken belt does not allow fluid to move, and kind of locks the rack in place. In a looped/vented rack you don't get the fluid resistance.I can understand it on a racing purpouse.

It's not pleasent, no road feel, and quite dangerous.
