[Kévin_20vt] Sprinty trackday project -DISCUSSION-

lots of details and pics on your project thread please. Especially the power steering set up.

Very tidy conversion with your electric power steering kevin

What ampage does that draw?

Hey guys!

Yes, i've a lot of pics to share, i'll do my best.

The tank included electric pump (106 / saxo PH2) draw 50A-60A on full steering lock.
Results found on technical sheets, not measured myself.

My 60amp fuse does not burn yet, so it sound true. ;-)

Kevin, the pictures aren't working as they are linked to the French coupe forum which some of us aren't a member off. If you can host them in photobucket.com everyone will be able to see them.

What a crap!
I'm sorry for that. It will take a lot of time to load pics. I'll do my best!

EDIT : job done, photobucket is a cool stuff!

Hey Kevin. Nice project. Would you like me to make you a fixing bracket for that rear water bottle? Or maybe just some drying towels?

Where have you bought your tyres from please? And how much? MP me if you want.

Hey Jo'!

I've met Joseph at the Val de Vienne Circuit. Such a nice guy with a nice car!

After the "race", we found some liquid under the car. I was a little bit stressed by that (coolant or oil leak!!!???), but it came from the trunk!
It was my wiper tank set on the rear which was away! Just tested it on the road, not on the track!

There is the anecdote...

My tires are from 123pneus.fr (84 euros shipped each).
But my advise for you is to wait than i test them (Italegends @ Ales on June) cause i don't now if these are good or not.

Impossible to had an opinion with forums, some says it's crap, other they're very good, comparable to the toyo's 888. Only thing i now, it's the price, half less than the 888.
So if they do the job with my little level on track, i'll be happy.

I will see and report!

Is there a manufactured date on the tyres Kevin?

Yes, they have been made week 38 of 2013. They come from Germany.

Thats good.

Great info on the steering Kevin. I hope to be doing this conversion soon.

I'm doing a drawing of the steering circuit to help understanding... and add some details for items needed.

thats brilliant info kevin!

Thanks Steve, i've been fighting with Paint for 2 hours lol!
If you need more details, don't hesitate to ask!

That's a really nice modification. Have you had any problems since the installation?

Thanks Szkom! No problem, no leak or anything : the feeling is really good, very constant, maybe better than the original mount.(for the electric steering).

No problem with the new alternator mount too. But a pain in the ... to make this mod.

Hi, very nice job with steering
I was going do the same job with toyota mr2 pump, but when I see this I change my plans It is much easier to find a saxo steering pump than mr2 here in croatia

Do you have pics what did you do to mount alternator?

Hi Jopa!

I've add 2 pics. I'm sorry, i haven't take pics without the alternator on the bracket...

thanks

Today I've bought a saxo pump for 15 euros LOL
Once again thanks for an idea

Which belt do you use for an alternator?
You manufactured a custom pulley, why didn't you use original? Does the diameter of pulley matter?

Nice project - any plans for fiberglass front bonnet?

You've done a grat deal for the pump! Have you the bracket fitted on it?

I can't read on the belt but i think it's a 4pk1048 (i've tried several belts).

The alternator pulley is original.
The loose pulley is from a Porsche 944 ( INA - Réf : 532 0043 10 ) but i use the original adjustable tensionner (part where the pulley fit) a bit modified and bolt differently on the engine bracket.

The alternator tensionner come from a 944 too.

Hi Nikolay!

I've the Autods fiberglass bonnet. Nice one but need some improvement to be perfectly aligned.

Can't wait to mount your bushes, i'll unmount the rear subframe this week end!

Great - less weight on track counts a LOT, no matter what some jap enginers said.....

Lighter is better!
