FC Power Steering Setup
Alright, so there used to be a thread some where in this place dedicated to Power Steering setups. For some reason it's MIA. There was never anything substantial in it anyways, so here is a dedicated thread to go over everyones power steering setups.
JTP - Post your setup for us newbz.
I'm wanting to switch up to a properly set up Power Steering setup. What pumps are you guys using? some say MR2 electric pump, while others say GSL-SE. I'm looking for something reliable. Also something that will work, and not suck ***** like every single power steering FC i've driven.

My power steering pump from my 2000 camaro z28 is pretty awesome. Really light and doesn't tire me out after 15 minutes of drifting. Had to add a real ps cooler though.
Only needs 2 of the 3 lines, just capped my other one off. I just cut the metal lines, put the nut over it, flared the end, and screwed it on.

i have no problems with manual rack. its more predictable than a ps rack.. ive had ps over heat multiple times in runs and it gets sketchy going from feather light steering to brick wall mid corner. at least with all manual all the time, i know what to expect.

Good point stevensimon. That's a time when you want the steering to be predictable. I suppose with a manual rack with an ideal ratio it wouldn't be so bad. Which is the best manual rack to use?

Am I an ******* for thinking that OE FC power steering works fine? I'm not competing or anything, but it's consistent, and I've driven literally 8 hours straight at events before with no breaks except to change tires and it hasn't overheated.
Maybe the problems start when you get huge angle? What's wrong with FC power steering?

I also have a Vmount in which i can not utilize the stock pump/mounting location due to interference with my charge piping
Every single power steering FC i've ever driven never countered, and randomly did that gay *** S-Chassis random 540spin out into yonderville technique during transitions. so i'm asking because if i do this, i have to spend money, and i do not want to spend money to have my car 4 wheel slide and feel like dick. it's not bad as is, but i do want something easier finally.

I went the MR2 (spider) pump. highly recommend it.
I have a link of it working on youtube (look up mantrx7)
also a link here for more details.
I don't drift, but if you running large fronts its very worth while.

^That is the correct definition of bumpsteer. Some of you are confused.
