Hey Simon - Looks really good. How did that electric power steering pump setup go in the end ? Does it keep up when turning fast from lock to lock ? Did you get your target weight ?

Great Job !

[Simon]

Had a chance to do a decent test now mate - doesn't keep up. Will have to fit the mechanical pump again.

[Simon]

Mods for the mechanical pump almost done. Just need to mount the pump and a pulley. Was able to reuse the bearing holder I made for my last engine. Alternators must come from a common supplier.

Had some trouble with hot oil. Water temp was find, but the standard cooler wouldn't hold the oil temp on 40 degree C days.

Going to try the biggest cooler I could find (40 row) and a 12" thermo fan. Also spent  fair bit of time making a ducting system to scoop cool air from the sides of the car.

Will see how it goes. 

[Simon]

Slight change to the panel design and powder coated. Just needs some stickers.

Do you mean the power steering pump mate?

[fabr]

If you don't mind,show us a bit more about that pump drive.

[dsrace]

Thanks guys

yep i thought it could be also used as an oil pump to cool a rev box

[Simon]

This is the second drive I have made like this, once on a cbr1100 and this zx14. Seams to work fine. There is a few picture of how I made in a couple of posts earlier if you missed them, or do you want more? It just belt drives the power steering pump.

Box doesn't really get that hot, do I don't think it needs a cooler.

Honestly,I was thinking of using it to drive an alternator.  I get the  general idea but was looking for a bit more detailed info such as is that a support bearing or just a seal,etc.? IF you wish to share it that is.
