Converting To Manual Steering Rack In R32 Gtst

Hey,

Ive just put an rb26 in my r32 gtst, and in the process i removed everything to do with the hicas and installed a lock bar.

Im now having problems with the speed sensitive power steering. At first i didnt have any PS, but now ive had the PS hooked up to my Autronic (via a speed sensor in the dash) so that at 65km/hr the PS gets harder just like it does in the standard set up. The problem is though, that it cuts in really violently at that speed and is quite dangerous especially mid corner.

Anyway, i was wondering if i could get rid of the PS set up and install a manual steering rack. Apparently you get much better feel and control with a manual rack. So does anyone know of a manual rack that will fit in my r32 gtst? Ive heard of a VL manual rack going in, but not sure if it requires modification.

Thanks for any onfo,

Shaun.

      Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.

      Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
