Just installed the AMS Power stearing delete kit. man it makes allot of space!
Everything bolted in perfect as it should

 

nice have you driven the car yet? how bad is it?

 

How do you like it? How much harder is the steering on the car now?

 

not bad for $139.95 the website says this mod saves 11lbs but how much hp gain is estimated for this mod?

 

Not sure haven't driven the car yet. But i can tell ya ive been hitting 24hr fitness build up my arm strength

 

To be honest with you im not sure how much the power stearing drains the engine down under load

 

I always considered doing this to my car but decided not in the event I jad a blow out or what ever did not feel confident to wrench the wheel under the starin of a race

 

Power steering is great if you doing less than 4mph and trying to line the car up on the track. After which it is completely useless

 

PS once rolling is a non issue. Everybody has seen vids of our Drag Evo going sideways 18 times down the track. Eric has no issues turning the wheel attempting to keep it in the groove.

I dont have PS on my 240sx drag car and have no issues with steering at speed. See THIS vid for an example.

I dont have PS on my 93 coupe either and I take this to track days. Entering corners at 120 mph with no issue.

 

Nice, Have you driven without it yet? Let us know how it feels.

 

Ahh come on Al it cant be that bad

 

What turbo do you have on the 240? and didnt you say you were running the arias pistons in her?

 

whoa...fun

 

one thing to take into account is also that the evo is much heavier than the 240, the steering ratio is much tighter on the evo & our steering wheel is a smaller diameter then on the 240


this is just my opinion, but i dont believe this mod is really designed to free up power, while it may accomplish this somewhat. i believe it is more suited for someone looking for extra space for a header/WG dump on a beeg turbo or someone looking to reduce as much weight as much as possible.

 

Charlie, that's an excellent point about the tighter rack on an Evo.

I pulled out the ps on my GSX back in the day and though it wasn't much more difficult to turn the wheel, it wasn't worth it for a daily driver. I found myself in a different situation than some statements made earlier would suggest, it was noticeable for me at moderate speeds when I did not have the added assist.

For a drag car, sure, go for it, but how many of us have dedicated drag cars? Oh yeah, I forgot evom is chucked full of ballers with endless cash and gt42r's sprouting out of their used parts bins. /sarcasm
