Modified stock Toy power steering pump or other?

[monstaru]

Ok, So the threads over on Pirate on this subject are full of Tech, but no long run experience.

Who is/has run a modified stock pump with hydro assist?
Once again.Found the tech on it.
Just looking for experience of reliability.

I AM putting it on a Subaru motor.So...I can pretty much line up any smaller pulley setup(ribbed).


I am leaning towards modifying the Stock Toy pump if I can find a ribbed pulley that will fit it(like 02 Tacoma , I think).
But have looked at the TC style pumps too obviously.


What ye say?
cheers

My stock pump and unassisted steering works great. My pump has seen 4 years of bad abuse with NO cooler and nasty 4 year old fluid. Works great.

No pesky ram to rip steering arms off tho.


hydro/hydro assist is for is for dana axles with king pins.

Says the guy that has arms twice the size of me:haha::fawkdancesmiley:

Double compound fracture of ulna and radius with less arm now says Ima need assist to turn 37's:looser:

However, I'm willing to try it without assist first if I could find a tierod/draglink to use:redneck:

I have ran a stock pump with a ram for over eight years now with no problems. All I did was drill the port on the pump out a little and run a nice big cooler.:awesomework::beer:

Drilled and shimmed yota pump, cheap cooler, kenworth reservoir and full hydro worked sweet on both yota and a Dana 60. Now that same pump is living the easy life on my wifes ifs yota some 7 years later.
