2004-2014 S40,C70,V50 and the C30. There are other ones as well. It's a Ford/Volvo pump. That's from when Ford owned Volve era. Lol.
Volvo part in an fbody, interesting choice
Good to see you finally did it. I remember you talking about it in 2020 on TGO. I have one on the shelf for my car, i have the one with the remote reservoir.
Not a fan of electrical power steering, I like to feel what front wheels are doing. Still, I'm impressed by how profesionally and cleanly you build this car. It would take me years just to figure out how to connect the cables.
Does he ever say WHY?
This is not electric power steering this is an electric power steering pump lol. Two different things entirely
You could have been the tallcamaroguy
Congrats on 100k subs. Thanks for the video upload. You're quite fortunate that despite breaking your pump, these power steering pumps are relatively simple devices. On my car, a 1988 BMW 750iL, it uses a dual vane pump that drives not only the steering, but also the power brakes and the rear self-leveling suspension (which I will be deleting soon). On my car, this engine-driven hydraulic pump going bad costs an eye-watering $2,127.10 to replace. While unfortunate, that would be a strong financial motivation to at least experiment with going with an electric power steering conversion.
Cast aluminum is weak as hell, any little resistance and it will break
I'm using a pump similar to that out of a 2017 nissan quest van. It's horizontal.
looks like you need a fender that one is beat up .
Aaaaannnddd you got rid of that shitty fender! (hopefully)
Excellent work.
Paid 60$ for my pump. I’ve done this in my own dd turbo ls swap. I put mine in the trunk. I did one on a drift car and put it behind the seat. I have also put one beside the rad under the headlight. If you just run the one wire setup I think the system defaults to 75-80% for one setup the customer bought a module to control the % assist and turned it to the max and blew the end rack seals when it was full lock really hard. So a little research and maths would pay off 80% of the Volvo pump was about 90% of the Nissan rack or something. I ride with 80% on my Mazda rx8 rack
I forgot electric ps swap from volvos were a thing lol
Man, Congratulations on 100k!!! Well earned!!! I have learned so much from you. Thank you! A lot of these videos, I go back and watch as they are 100% helping with my '86 LS swap IROC-Z!!! Keep pushing great content, Matt. I'll be sharing your videos and purchasing from your Amazon store. Thanks for setting that up as well! And, here's to hitting 1M subscribers! Cheers, brother!!!
Gotta love the electric pump got a Buick LaCrosse with a 5.3 ls4 need to install it haveing a hard time finding the fittings for it
Epic video once again!
Hey Matt there's an autocross event this September 16th at Lime Rock Park hosted by Gorman Performance. I called out some suburban and Tahoe owners and other racecars are welcome like Camaros, gtos, miatas etc, corvettes, mustangs, Porsches etc. Right now I have three other suburbans going up against me and it's only $150 do you got what it takes? Let me know we would like to have ya. It would be modified vs stock, cammed and not cammed class.
