Default Power steering pump for water cooler water pump?

Since you need a water pump on a water cooled setup, could you just rig the power steering pump for it? I don't have a clue how the power steering pump works, but if it pumps fluid through lines and works right, I guess it would work and be useful? Anyone?

I think the fluid that runs through the power steering pump may also act as a lubricant for the pump.

makes sense.

Adam, thanks again for the refund on the injectors, did you ever get them to work again?

I don't think it lubricates th epump but i am not sure. Though the problem is that little pump puts out a lot more pressure than your average water pumps especially on the high pressure side. You would never get a line to stay on, unless you go to a hydraulics place and have one made. Are you talking for something like an air-water cooler recuirculator pump?

Doesn't the power steering heats up the fluid because of the high pressure it uses? altough if you think about it, can you just use a bigger pulley to slow the pump and not produce that amounts of pressure?
