r32 hicas has 2 outlets from the power steer pump...and that pic (while difficult to see clearly), seems to have 2 outlets.

Cheers Duncan

I'm in middle of sorting out my power steer system in my race car, have you had any issues with yours or have you gone aftermarket?

I'm limited in what I can change by production car rules, I have to run standard pump but can (and have) changed the pulley to underdriven.  I had issues with leaking from the cap until I added a reasonable sized cooler but it has been OK since. HICAS is removed and so are the vanes in the rear stage of the pump so it doesn't die from pushing against the blocked off line.

I also lost a belt once but NFI why as nothing had changed recently, and only once in 10 years race/rally

Yes. Particularly for a race car that will see high revs. Make sure it’s a baffled reservoir that is designed to slow the oil down upon return. I’m not sure if it’s foaming (fine bubbles) or the speed that the oil is hit the reservoir but either way it needs an internal method of controlling it or you’ll have oil everywhere after a few laps.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
