I'm thinking the same, dam nice chassis, what's the availability like these days?
Not sure.... But I was eyeing one up at SM yesterday, and when you get into the detail, and thought that's gone into the design and manufacture, it really does look like the ultimate upgrade....Bloody power steering pump has packed up

Bloody power steering pump has packed up
I agree I was impressed with it Bloody power steering pump has packed up
You kidding?! Sod it I'm going to fit a electric pump the gm alternators can give the juice needed

Unfortunatly not..... Noticed it was getting noisy under load, and not offering full assistance at tickover.... Ian checked out the fluid, and it's like metallic paint.... Swarf...
Got a new one on order

Quinny, can you post up a pic of your pump location / bracket etc.
What new pump are you going for. Think i am going down the Scooby conversion.
Not sure I'm allowed to post pics of my engine on this threadWhat new pump are you going for. Think i am going down the Scooby conversion.
I'll do some for you tomorrow and post em up...... It's all been changed since I bought it, I'm now using the sportmotive alternator bracket, and ps mounting plate....
As for the pump, its a ZF, from a landrover I think.... I'll ask Ian when I go over to get it fitted next week...
Alex.... I run a PS cooler

Dunno what makes you think that Quinny Keep the pictures coming mate
I have been interested in the Evo chassis, Ian did some first class work on beastie around this time last year, and picked me up from the station when I collected her.....
I was going to bump the last chassis thread, but having just re-read it it's full of some plumber bloke banging on about some other company and the length of wishbones

Oh go on then....Keep the pictures coming mate
Ok these show the new layout.... Using sportmotive front mounting plate...
On the old system as you looked at the engine from the front the PS pump was on the left, the PS reservoir, in the middle, and the alternator and tensioner on the right...... The header tank is also mounted in front of the alternator...
Old layout...
The new layout is different in that it now has PS reservoir on the left, tensioner on the left, PS pump in the middle, and alternator still on the right....
Also now has a wing mounted header tank, and under the inlet pipe is a small expansion tank..
New layout

Quinny is that a free wheeling alternator pulley I spot? a sprag clutch to you and I
Well spotted..... It's also connected to the ECU.... It can detect voltage, so when the engine is under load, the sprag clutch engages, and alters the voltage to suit.....so when you're coasting down a hill it disengages, and improves MPGIt also makes sure that the fridge in the boot stays nice and cold
