Well I finally decided to get rid of all the power steering junk under my hood and car, and found a really nice spot to mount the reservoir/breather for the kit. Kit was purchased from user Padawan if I remember correctly and came with all the correct Aeroquip fittings.

Car feels really good with the kit... You can see in the 2nd picture the Tilton reservoir/breather kind of lines up with the other Clutch MS and Brake MS...

 

how does it feel compared to just removing teh belt?

not that ive ever done that

 

I drove it just with the belt removed for a year, it feels a lot nice with everything removed and the kit added...

It feels kind of in between what it felt like with the Power Steering on and functional and with the belt only off.

Without the negative resistance of the PS of course...

 

nice.

you're stepping up with your game junR..

 

More like jumping up.

 

Not bad. Looks like your missing a spoon resovior cover on it though.

 

Have had the same setup on my PY since I started tracking it. Feels great, and that Padawan kit is totally complete.

 

what is the cost for Mr. Padawans kit??

 

i think it was about 65-70 bux

 

man, there is dust all over that show car's engine bay. clean that ****!

Something close to that IIRC.

But the kit is COMPLETE!!!

 

I removed my whole rack, lines and pump. Installed a manual rack from a Del Sol and have never regreted it. Just remember to modify the "C" clamp that holds the rack in place.

 

+Juan on the Padawan kit-very nice and the guy is great to deal with!

Yeah yeah, funny thing it's faster then your SCed R all motor.

 

If my rememberance is correct I think the weight savings w/ the man/rack swap (including removal of... pump, lines, brakets and fluid) is around 28lbs.

That's only because his is always broken.

 

I did the same delete on the track car...using Realtime's setup, which is basically what Padawan sells. Works really good. I ran out of tubing so I ended up mounting it on the inboard side of the tower (hidden by the ITR front bar)

 

I put a manual rack w/ sub-frame and changed mines over, than using the p/s rack w/ a resovior.And using the maual sub-frame, you dont have to worry about modifying the c clamp. But you did a good job tho.

Maybe one day he'll get back around to it.

 

Hell I want to see that...

If anyone can figure how to do it (correctly), he can!
