ProZac Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I've played with them a bit, the specs tell you 40-50 amps under load, but I've seen them draw more than that under full load racing conditions. The rack I've mounted to the staz I've actually opened up an cut the inner seal off, converting it to a non-assisted rack. This is just for easyness of getting things up and running, the car definitely needs power steering. Electro-hydraulic is an idea I toyed with too, but an engine driven pump is still smaller and weighs less. Will mount one down where the alternator was, keeping it out of the way, will make lines easy to run aswell. 3rd gen MR2's have an even better electric psteer pump, with integrated electrics. Give them a speed signal, and they'll vary their assist pressure. Alot of GM stuff from that era also has nice electric powersteer pumps, also with an integrated reservoir that looks quite a bit nicer than the 2nd gen MR2 ones.

Dato Fiend Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Looks bloody awesome, I'll never understand why these slip under the radar when the Evo is supposedly so amazing. Widebode starion's especially are sexy pieces of machinery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 A few generations of tech difference between Starions and the EVO, but I agree, they're pretty underrated... But I'm also a little funny in the head about Starions . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuel Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 I really like where this is going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProZac Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Cheers mate, it's all coming together reasonably well so far, I really hope it drives okay. I've got a pair of R31 control arms on the way, will have a play with them the week after ANZAC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
