    What I did is make a "manifold" that both lines go to then it has a line that runs up the firewall into a filter to let it breathe and vent. It also allows me to fill it with a little bit of oil to keep things lubricated. Works very well on the 2 cars I did it to.

    Excitied to see the electric rack stuff when that happens. I deleted the power steering in my ol' Bimmer after the first test drive and the rack puked its guts out. Not that I really need it when the car is moving but I'm not getting any younger and I'm definitely getting soft when I have to throw my shoulders out in parking lots. Needless to say I'll be happy to learn something from your trials and tribulations. Thanks for the upload.

      Man, they've gotta make a seal kit for that thing... There are several different electric steering systems popping up on all kinds of cars, Kia's, Hondas, surely something out there can retrofit? If they make a seal kit and you wanted to rebuild the rack to bring the hydraulics back but forego the mechanical pump you deleted, Volvo's got an electric hydraulic pump on the s90 that you can mount remotely somewhere else. Check out Tunes + Tunes, they've got it in two different cars now with a how-to!

Accelerate that video and that thing is now screaming. The more I see that becomes automated, the more I crave the mechanical and analog options. This camera is the perfect blend of both.

    I like the idea of going electric. When dealing with older cars, getting hydraulic steering parts that work properly and last can be so difficult. I don't know how many times I had a rebuilt P/S pump whine or leak oil after a year. I would encounter many rebuilt racks that leaked. Hoses can be difficult to locate, so it often means taking your old hose to a hydraulic fabrication shop.

    • @Jafromobile
      @Jafromobile  5 місяців тому +1

      I almost did this with 40 feet of hydraulic lines for the green Galant's AWS system. It would have cost $1,700 to have them just make the lines at a local shop. I nearly bought a really nice hydraulic crimping machine, but the urge passed. You and I think a whole lot alike. If hydraulic is better than electric... then where are all the hoseless/cordless hydraulic tools? How come those never caught on? Hmmm....

      Twice now I've fixed whining Honda power steering pumps by replacing o-rings at the intake hose. They draw in a stream of tiny air bubbles along with the fluid intake hose that sounds for all the world like some kind of horrible mechanical issue. You'd never guess it was just a bad seal. I wonder if other brands' power steering pumps have the same issue?

    Ideally you'd also modify the pinion shaft (weld it up) so that you no longer have the slop from the torque rod, since you don't need it to operate the spool valve any more.

    Just as a note, Molybdenum paste is the best you can use in this case, it really sticks to the surfaces and is a much better friction modifier, than any regular EP grease, it is expensive but, it is worth it, Loc-tite and Rocol sell this product.

    Hey, Jafro. I am building a mk3 Supra and briefly considered doing exactly what you did here for the same reasons you did (leaks, parts availability, etc), but aren’t you afraid of losing steering feel by going electric? Electric power steering has come a long way over the years but is still largely considered the reason why modern cars have lost their soul and have next to no steering feel. One of my favorite things about old cars is the natural feel of hydraulic and manual racks.

      Hahahah. Nice try!
      But if you're serious, About 60% of the time I'm shooting mostly around 24mm which is extremely wide-angle. For stuff like part number labels, I use digital zoom for the extreme close-ups and that will not maintain pixel density. All the pixels get swole.
      If it's action close-ups it's because I've moved from my original point of focus and it's practically a manual focus camera. I have to manually adjust it (my fault). Still does better than the old AF camera did, though.
