Electric Power Steering Pump
Hi Guys,

I know this question may have been thrown about before, but I was wondering if someone could tell me what would be the best/easiest electric power steering replacement for the standard pump on the AE86?

I'm currently running an Omex setup with a custom bracket for a Crank Angle Sensor to allow me to run power steering. The problem I face is that this bracket is long enough to flex and the toothed wheel from the crank seems to eat away at the sensor when on bumpy roads, as a result I'm replacing sensors regularly and have decided to opt for a shorter bracket by using a standard non power steering crank pulley, thus cutting the belt driven pump out of the equation.

The only option I have is to ditch the power steering pump (which would allow more room for an oil cooler and easier access to the oil filter) and switch to an electric pump. I've looked at the Saxo/Peugeot pump as an option and have been informed this can run up to 50 amps under load, would this be cause for concern? I'm aware some people may suggest going down a whole new rack, but this isn't an option I'm too bothered by as I'm happy with the standard power steering setup for response and just want a quick option to carry out with minimal work.

Thanks in advance

***Also, if you're a Power Steering hater, please keep your "go to the gym" opinions to yourself, this is a point to point daily driver/track car and having ran PAS and non PAS, I know the differences ***
