wildthing Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 I am looking ito converting the manual steering of a toyota with a 4KC engine into a power steering one. Has anybody done this? What car (model or make) was your "donor" for the whole set-up to do it successfully? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 If you need power steering its time to bulk up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 ^^^^^ :D I considered the same thing but after a while realised i didnt really need it cause they're only a light car :y: Would be interesting to see if anyone has actually done it though! Was that an option on the hachis???? Maybe it'd be interchangable if it was :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 this thread is funny. you should try driving a HQ holden with no power steering. my missus used to drive one up a windy mountain road on a daily basis. she is only 5 foot 4". wuss! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teddy Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 if you need power steering for your ke70, you need a you don't need power steering ? what ever happened to that thing called *feeling / responce of the road ?* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo_rolla Posted February 7, 2006 Report Share Posted February 7, 2006 Was an option on the JDM AE86's yes Thought i'd read somewhere that it was an option :D I'm with the others though.....better off spending your time & money on something else imo :y: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coln72 Posted February 8, 2006 Report Share Posted February 8, 2006 I feel for you with the Kingswood without power steering. I actually removed the power steering from my HZ as it was WAY to light (and pissing out oil). Didn't have any problems even with 235's on the front with a sports sterring wheel.

mikeys toy[RL] Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 they were optional on te72 and ae72 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOSCO Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 http://winterpalace.customer.netspace.net.au/ He has done it. Said it was crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty1 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I agree with the sentiment that all of the other guys have expressed, however...... The JDM sprinters had PS as an option, as did I beleive, the AW11's. These racks are the same/similar as the sprinter and KE70 ones. You would be on your own with the pump setup, but it couldn't be too hard. Cheers, Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raven Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 I'd rather just convert to rack and pinion than have the drag link set-up myself..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRD ke70 Posted February 23, 2006 Report Share Posted February 23, 2006 (edited) JDM AE70-E, you could get PWS(was rack and pinion), TE70 also(steering box) there were only 2 in the 70 range. if you really need PWS, try getting the steering column out of a suzuki ignis, they have electric PWS. cool setup.
