Power steering pump

Postby totta crolla » Thu Feb 12, 2026 5:40 am

I'd like to delete the belt driven power steering pump and replace it with an electric type from another car, does anyone have any ideas for this?
I will state that l have zero interest in replacing the column with an electric type.

Hey.... just noticed that you asked this question a long time ago. Forum seems marginally
easier to access after being impossible for the last year or so. Anyways, you have probably
found out that the SW20 MR2 electric pump is a popular choice if you want to lose the
belt driven pump.

I watch a lot of "Rally Crash" videos on youtube, and see that there are still a few AE86's
getting thrashed and crashed in the dirt. Getting pretty rare over here, and the ones that
are still running are like grandfather's axe... lots of GRP panels and engine transplants.

Cheers... jondee86
