[QUOTE="NotMatt, post: 1409963, member: 15947"] So I have a Parker Hydraguide steering valve model HGF16423 that I got from someone on here in a trade. According to Parker's catalog, this should be a 6.6 cubic inch valve, reversing (return to center, I assume?) with a power beyond port. I plan on running a 2x8 ram with a 1.125" or 1.25" cylinder size. Is there an easy way to figure out how many turns lock to lock I will get with this setup? If I'm doing it right, PBB's calculator says a 2x8 1.125" ram should need about 5.9 ci to get just under 3 turns lock to lock... but like I said, I'm not sure if I'm entering all the numbers right and this stuff is new to me. Is the valve too much, too little... right in the ballpark? Next question... power beyond. What do I do with this? I'm assuming this would normally be used to power a rear steer valve, but since I'm not running rear steer... plumb it back into the return with a T, before the cooler? PBB says so, but I'm confused... how much pressure is going to be routed through the power beyond port when I'm not turning the front wheels? I'm guessing no more than the regular return line from the valve, correct? Hopefully somebody can clarify my noob questions on hydro. :redneck: [/QUOTE]
