Can a GM power steering pump be cut?
Can a GM power steering pump be cut?
This was written from a perspective of an FC but 99% applies to FD as well. 1) Run a stock GM power steering pump with a cut spring to reduce the bypass pressure. This is the only version I haven’t run and I’ve never particularly wanted to. The problem is that it doesn’t change flow and doesn’t change pressure at flow levels other than bypass.
Is there a downside to LS swap power steering?
Turn One already offers orifice this sized for Rx7 racks and it makes the high pressure line hookup easy since if you choose the -6 AN version. The only downside here is that if you’re running hard the GM pumps can fail. Even before you get to that, the pumps can run hot enough boil the fluid.
Where can I get a power steering bracket?
Since the accessories I had were from a 2004 Pontiac GTO (for which the PS pump bolts directly to the head), I needed to find an F-body power steering pump bracket. They crop up from time to time on ebay but it was slim pickings when I was looking so I threw down for a billet bracket from CBM (p/n 10750)
Why did I change power steering to turn one?
One guy who was regularly tracking his Corvette claimed he burned out 4 factory pumps in a season then switched to Turn One and hasn’t had a problem since. Per the folks at Turn One the secret is that the pump has been fully rebuilt internally to flow LESS.
