 |
|
im thinking that it will have a more direct ratio, and be easier to turn in the tight corners at my fave track - sure, I will loose a little power - but thats a trade off Im willing to make. I would guess that a smaller pulley would help with the power reduction and make the thing less vague - is there anything that I have overlooked??  |

put no power steering in your racecar. it makes the car steering les direct. I have no powerstering in my racer (I donīt park it often in my street in front of my house  ) |

| If you look at WRC, you will see that all cars are servo because they cam turn faster with less steering wheel revolutions. This means they dont have to take their hands off the steering wheel and it is easyer to drive (much less effort and fatigue). Servo (or power steering) can be very direct, if it has proper feedback. |

okay, but not for a 33 or a sud (I race for more than 5 years whit a 33 race car and tried both) no power stearing drives much better for a race 33 (mostly you donīt have to park the racecar on the track  than power stearing is handy) and on 99% of the circuits I donīt have to take my hands of the steering wheel (Monaco only) |

I never raced on a race track because there are none in Romania where I'm from, but I joined at local races where the course is small with lots of turns and speeds of up to 80km/h where handling is important, and I can tell you power steering comes in handy.
My alfa33 doesn't have power steering, but I have another car with power steering!
PS Can anyone tell me if I can put a 33 1,8 TD power steering box in a Alfa33 1,7 carburettor made in 89???? I mean do these cars have the same type of steering boxes, same lock?? Thanks a lot!
later edit: Rees Cees, I've seen a video clip with your car, a black 33 SW. Man, it's cool!!! But why a SW?? And also, how much HP does your 33 have?? What mods did u do to your engine?? |

what I know is that chass has different holes to mount steering rack with servo and without.
Also engine that had servo on it has servo pump mounting holes on block, which non servo boxer usualy does not.
