hey guys

need help gettin air out of my power steering, can hear it in the rack

do you just jack car up and go back n forth with the wheel to get them out or what?

since iv started drifting i been topping it up regularly but it seems like even everyday drivin it still wants to spew out.. like looks empty in the can but when you turn the wheel it rises very quick..

not sure if this belongs here but once we have a answer i guess its general maintenance

thanks for your time and any help you may give

you might have a problem with the pump or a leak in the line... Are you losing fluid?

Correct way to bleed is with car running, on the ground, fill it up and get someone to sit in the car and turn the wheel lock to lock for a while, all while you keep topping up the fluid,

Away from the topic.

I have a problem with the power steering.

I've filled the fluid to the maximum but the steering is still not as smooth.

when i turn, i can hear the "click" sound. not always, but is the amount of turns i make.

what is the problem?

the steering wheel is not as smooth and soft as my friends car with have power steering.

      Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.

      Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
