Has anyone considered running an Electronic Hydraulic Power Steering Pump? I'm considering this because I want one less thing connected to the engine for removals and replacements (because race car).
I guess the SW20 had one but its kinda pricey used (if you can find one). -------------------- -Mike

Well... it wouldn't be ghetto rigged if you use an embedded development board (think Rasberry Pi or Audrino) and PWM the pump like you are supposed... basically you don't want the pump hammering against a closed valve or running full nuts when it doesn't have to... Keep in mind that the MR2 one is from 1994... so you can bet your ass it is late 1980s computer technology so the control loop is going to be stupid simple....
I need to look into this more. -------------------- -Mike
