My base model FC doesnt come with ps and is just not as flickable through the turns as i'd like it to be.

How difficult and what is needed for the swap? PS rack and pump and belts and... what else?

 

Not hard... Is your manual Rack Good??? I'd like to ditch my whole PS system... maybe make a trade

 

i need it for quicker turn in drift! is it bolt on swap? what would i need?

 

Rack, Pump, Lines

 

And the computer as well. I don't think it would be that difficult, just alot of messing around to get everything to function correctly.

 

computer? it needs a computer?

 

what you need is muscle

 

86-88 have RPM sensing steering... 89-91 have engine speed or vehicle speed steering....

I think the wiring harness for any 86-88 should have the connector for the RPM switch from the gauge cluster on it... someone help me out here!!!

 

no amount of muscleis gnna helpme with no ps in drifts.

 

Well. I do no PS drifts just as good as any 240 w. PS. Try doing a bunch of curls and push ups, it helped me

 

the steering response is crap, even with muscles, but hell i can still drift it, look at my sig. my red one has ps tho...lol

 

???

 

You will not have the wiring present for the PS system, so you cannot properly install it. OR, it will not be actuated properly if you do. IT is computer operated. If you doubt this, check by the enginebay fusebux. You're looking for 2 white connectors...1 with 2 wires, 1 with 6 wires. Also under the dash behind the drivers speaker will be a large long plug with probably 10+ wires, that is where the PS computer plugs up. Those are the PS plugs. IF not present, then forget it. If they are, then it will be plug and play.

 

What Kevin said. BTW I don't have PS on my TII or my N/A and if I did I would get rid of it. I just like the feel of direct linkage between the road and the wheel. I can drift just fine without it.

cool. I was thinking about doing this too, because, like you said, steering response is crap with the manual rack. I have to turn the wheel twice as far as my AE86 to get the same steering results.

but I have done the TII conversion, and used both front harnesses, so it should be plug and play then, right? guess I'll have to look for those plugs...



anyway let us know how it goes, and how well the response is increased.

 

so with out the ps being hooked up to an ECU it wont work right?

 

Couldn't he install a 89+ power rack. That doesn't need the computer to opperate.

 

I WANT UR MANUAL RACK!!! lmk what u do with it!

 

89+ cars use a PS ecu too...
