power steering on my nova

[fastcar1cars]

hi all recently fitted power steering to my nova i brought craig greens old wet rack setup and all i can say is brilliant! Made such a diffrence to day to day driving. And is not too light at speed either! Only thing i changed is pump location! It was very noisey in the battery tray so have mounted the pump to the bracket where the washer bottle goes and used a corsa b bottle in the scuttle! So if anyones things about it go for it! Lol!

EPAS is the way most people are going now. Compact, easily retrofitted and wired in. Also fully adjustable and less weight than a hydraulic or electro-hydraulic setup.

oh very good, do they need a speedo tranducer to work and are they easy to wire up?

EPAS ftw, although I have mine turned down right low on the adjuster otherwise it's twitchy as hell down the country lanes (with a quickrack)

[fastcar1cars]

yeah epas is meant to be good but didnt fancy and ebay adjuster and wanted to keep my digi dash so couldnt use the correct transducer! As for weight saving its a c20xe anyway! Pmsl! This setup feels ace at any speed without keep adjusting it! Im happy anyway! Lol!

[fastcar1cars]

yeah will get some pics up soon mate! Fitted that new box and equal length shafts to mate and them hubs i got from you! Oh and new suspension too with 300lb springs! Lol!
The rack is 2.2 turns from lock to lock is that quick?

[Yorkie]

i wanted power steering once, but a 1.2 dont weigh much any ways lol,

[mk1nova_rich]

Standard racks are easy to turn but I may have to look into EPAS with the 2.1 quick rack I have fitted lol
