Then it's agreed...

LOL.

Yes, indeed.

projectRDM · 10-15-2009, 03:44 AM

Agreed as well.

But it's not like there's a three page thread on here about depowering the rack.

De-powering your power steering would be the best bet. Just loop the in and out on the rack.

That's not depowering the rack. Again, there's three pages of how-to discussion on here. Looping the lines is a shitty, janky way of doing it. But we are talking about 240SX owners.

jc240sx90 · 10-15-2009, 12:51 PM

what would be the best way to remove it besides looping the lines?

zylvia213 · 10-15-2009, 01:01 PM

why do this?????

SEARCH!!!
you were told twice there is a 3 page thread about this

theslows13 · 10-15-2009, 01:21 PM

if youre doing it to "save horsepower" then you are foolish.

there is NO logical reason to remove power steering.

besides a good workout

Correctly depowering the rack and making it a true manual rack adds more road feel and feedback as well as reducing weight and drag on the engine. There is still a lot of low speed resistance though as any car with a manual rack.

Looping the lines only eliminates weight and drag, but you still have shitty feedback, twitchy steering, and dead spots through the turning radius.

The gains don't really outweigh the losses, but people like to think they're more hardcore without it.

Quit being lazy and search.

We're not here to spoon feed you.
