Power Steering Questions

Post by **MY45** » Tue Apr 06, 2004 10:09 pm

Ok now that i've got the 37's back on i am going to get the power steering box out of my old cruiser (std. FJ45 P/S) and wack it in the 40. The problem is that the P/S pump was stuffed in the rool over.

1) Can i use another pump with a better flow rate and just plumb it up to the std. box ?

2)Will the better flow rate make the steering more powerful and faster?

3)if so what sort of pump should i look for ? Later Cruiser, Commodore, etc.

you can upgrade your pump but you may need new fittings.

i used a chev spec saginaw pump, cost me $100

but you will need to make up some crazy brackets

and the pulleys are pressed on in such a way that you need a special tool to change them to match your offset.

matt pisani used a zd fairlane saginaw pump with hs 80 series box to turn 46in claws,

again, pump shouldnt cost more than $100

call ian king 9542 3103

otherwise, you can hi flow your original pump to bring the psi up to about 1300

ive got some tech here somewhere if your interested.

or just whack a cooler on with an original pump to improve its ability with aired down 37s

Cheapest to do it your self and the cost is how much you pay for it

About $300-$400 or wreckers will charge a bit.

I checked for the tech, but it was obviously lost when my computer was rebuilt a couple of months ago

if you go to texas cruisers (i think, bj knows it) .com

follow links to their rock ram products and there will be links to tech re; increase pump blow by pressure/

let me know how you go.

ill surf and see if i can find the link
