I need to get some sort of power assist for my steering, especially with the 1:5.1 quickner. Everyone I talked with said that the Toyota MR2 has such a unit that is electric but connects to the steering unit and forces hydraulic oil in the steering rack to lessen input. Anyone ever put one of these units in their race car? |

BTW one of the racers up at Medford said the MR2 units are great, but have one drawback. The first generation units are full on all the time and draw 80 amps. The second generation MR2 units don't draw anything until you turn the wheel, then 80 amps. So our Bosch alternators probably put out 20 amps (?) or so, so have to figure out if my small battery has enough amp feed to keep supporting an 80 amp draw during a run. And my Link electronic module doesn't like being starved for juice. If the juice isn't there the car doesn't run. |
