This is primarily in answer to the following, but I felt it worthy of a new thread.

!!I went into the garage last night in my boxer shorts to take these pics!!

Pic #1: You can see where the OEM hardlines come out of the power rack. You can see how I cut them and put rubber hose on them. You can see the "T" fitting where the relief line connects to the loopback system.



Pic #2: Closer look at the lines coming off the rack:



Pic #3: The "T" fitting close up:



PIC #4: Here you can see the entire setup. I marked the relief line so it's quite obvious:



I put all the lines together, then attached a funnel to the top of the relief line. I poured fluid in and rotated the rack back and forth till the bubbles stopped coming out. Then I drained the fluid about 1/2 way down the relief line and sealed the system. Some sort of reservior would be good, but I've concluded is not necessary.



The "best" way to do it would be like the RTR guys. They run both the lines off the rack into a reservior, seperate from each other. This way the fluid HAS to pass through the reservior, and thus relieve pressure.

I have had zero leakage with my system, so I'm happy

And this is for???? Are you bypassing the power steering fluid completely or just apercentage?

Will this disable the PS? Or will it lessen the strength that the PS system uses to aid in steering??

If this is a means to disable the PS, isn't there still going to be parasitic drag from the pulley? Hence no reason to do this correct? Unless its for the feel.

Let me know!

Thanks
