Bringing this back from the Dead -
What kind of FLUID did you guys use?

I have an EPHS pump for a EDM Citroen Saxo. It uses Dexron AFT as the steering fluid from the factory.

Is it OK to use Dexron with the Honda Steering Racks?

Any other fluid you could recommend?

Thanks.

Never thought about it before ... In my case we were using the Honda steering rack and the only difference was we had a Toyota Pump so have always used Honda Power Steering Fluid. As far as I know it's still working fine in my old car after 4 years.

After all this time I still think using the MR11 EPS Pump was one of the best racing mods I ever did.

Can those pump mounts be obtained from PCI Jeff?

We had a few mounts laser cut, I think I still have a couple around here somewhere.

I was going this route EHPS...I actually have every needed with the exception of the mount for the pump. If anyone is interested in it--im not running autox so no real need for it any longer--let me know!

the pump is very heavy...lol

I'm about to put one in my teg. And wondering if I should run a cooler?

I know Kiwi didnt run a cooler and he was one of the first ones to run one (hence the informational thread)
If there was ever a need, he would of posted an advisory.

You shouldn't need one unless you're real busy with the steering or have a quick steering rack. I have a power steering cooler on my Civic, but I'm running a 1.5:1 quickener so I have a bit under 2.5 turns lock-to-lock and I'm pretty much never holding the wheel straight on a rally stage.

Its gonna be a dd.

reading through this i like the idea

have a question tho

can this be controlled by the AC button?

i dont have ac on my car and it seems like the ac compressor wiring already has all the necessary relays and should have enough amps to power it.

for b series motor.

and can i use stock fluid reservoir with this setup?

with a chipped ecu i have more control over ac engage/disengage

and also wouldnt it be better to just use stock hoses and add the fitings on them, we have a place locally that can put fittings on them.

Actually Paul I did run a small cooler although I had quite a large resevoir which held over a quart so the volume probably compensated a lot. I would advise using a small cooler -6"x3" or something like that. During the 25 hr I think it was probably neccesary.

I was unaware Thanks for clarifying that Jeff!

The brackets you made, still have any kiwi? That is the only part Im missing at this point. lmk.

kommon_sense

karcepts also sells a bracket for the mr2 pump. And I'd also recommend running a small cooler. Depending on how you setup your pump, if it runs wide open then you will want a cooler. Mine has lasted 4.5yrs daily driven with occassional track use with a small cooler.

Awesome post; made me go out and get the parts for my own build!

I know this is a old thread but hoping someone can answer :

Is it okay to mount the pump upside down like this? It's mounted the other way on the MR-2, not sure if mounting it like this will affect it's longevity.

What about OPEL CORSA C electric steering pump widely used around the world? I believe this can be difficult to source in USA? I see even controlers for sale on ebay which control OEM OPEL steering ecu, etc.
