Kenji Posted June 8, 2011 Share Posted June 8, 2011 I have been doing a little searching for car with power steering and an LS1 swap. I haven't found the right parts to make the power steering swap possible. Does anyone already have this done? If so was parts were used and were mods needed. I would like bolt in solution but will work for it if needed. I am aware of the LT and power steering swap, but unclear to it working for the LS and actual parts needed.

rags Posted June 9, 2011 Share Posted June 9, 2011 If you really want to drive yourself crazy, throw A/C in the mix. I'm still trying to figure this out myself without spending a grand on accessory mounts. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
260DET Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Once the PS rack is mounted in place all that is needed then is a PS pump to run it. What's the problem? You are going into custom made brackets and stuff but basically it's very simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Well since I'm using JCI mounts and A/C kit, there is basically no where to put the PS pump. I even tried to find out if the PS pump is located on the right side of the engine of RHD cars but so far no luck. I was able to find a custom accessory mount that positioned everything close enough to the motor for adequate clearance but the accessory mount lit was $1000. A little too steep for me.

Administrators RTz Posted June 10, 2011 Administrators Share Posted June 10, 2011 Rags, How about an electric pump? I believe it was the second gen. MR2's that came with them. They can be pulsewidth modulated for pressure, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rags Posted June 10, 2011 Share Posted June 10, 2011 Never thought of that Ron. I'll look into it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenji Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Thanks for all of the replies, but I was hoping there was a bolt in solution or with minor mods needed. If I can't find something in a reasonable amount of time I will just stick with what I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
