this would be a cool mod down the line, but my PS works currently and I don't like plumbing hydraulic lines all down the car and adding another reservoir lol
Some install it in the stock location as a replacement, but I don’t have room there right now. The main reason I did the swap though was it made it easier to work in the engine bay deleting the stock P/S pulley, and the electric pump is more responsive for a high stress environment like the road course. It is loud and takes up some space, but it was necessary in my case 😂
I'm assuming the nitrous line connects with a flared AN fitting? If so, the fluid seal happens at the flare, not the threads, so you don't want to use teflon tape on the threads. Only use teflon tape on connections where the threads are creating the seal.
Any particular reason you didn't go with an EPAS system? It's what I did on mine and its been great so far. Relatively easy install, and you dont have to listen to that ridiculous whining inside the car.
Are you referring to the upgrade to the stock system? If so, I just didn’t like the belt driven setup, and deleting it made it easier for me to work on the car. I’ve stripped out a lot of things that made it hard to reach stuff on the fly. To me, this setup was simpler.
No, not at all, this completely does away with the stock system. It's a motor driven shaft that modifies the stock steering shaft. There's a guy on FB that makes a "kit" too if you dont have the ability to weld. There's alot of info on tuners if you search it.
Ohh, the electrical motor, like the Prius one. I really liked that option, I just thought you had to be able to weld. Gabe Ortega made a good video series doing it. It is something I would potentially consider switching to. In the meantime, I’m not the only one running the Volvo solution, and it meets the task well.
Keep an eye on those nitrous lines, they may be rated to 1000 psi but most power steering systems can see upward of 2000 psi.
Will do!

I’ll check that and potentially make an update on it
