121852, RE: So I re-installed my power steering today. Posted by XMasta19, Jun-20-06 03:37 PM word, car feels hard to control whenever actually using power steering haha. I got used to the pain in the ass turning tight radius nonsense, and enjoy the firm control when going faster. | |

121856, RE: So I re-installed my power steering today. Posted by Keith2172, Jun-21-06 04:47 AM Interested to see what parasitic losses the PS pump creates. Wonder if anyone would be willing to, the next time they go to the dyno, do a pull with PS and one w/o PS. That would be a decent way to see what kind of loss we are really talking about. | |

121857, RE: So I re-installed my power steering today. Posted by Dracas, Jun-21-06 10:35 AM I've been wanting to go back to no power steering, but not having AC would kill me. It's been in the high 90's here with very very high humidity, and I work outside, so going from hot to hotter in my car wouldn't make my drive home very fun. It wouldn't be so bad if both of my windows would roll down, lol. | |

121858, RE: So I re-installed my power steering today. Posted by WickedESi, Jun-21-06 06:45 PM Heh, I've been thinking about putting the P/S back in for auto-x, the thing is I completely removed it, lines and all (which the steering gets easier when you don't have to manually pump all that fluid). I think this thread has made me decide no P/S ever again. | |
