Power steering pump problems
 

i have not had the car running long and it seems my power steering pump is making all kinds of noise. Any have a good recommendation for a quality type 2 GM style pump? I will be road racing and auto crossing the car. Has a Dse front clip and a ls2 with a kb supercharger.

Thx

Dse sells them i believe

usually a sign of air in the system. Do you have hydroboost on it?

Hey Mike, no I do not have hydro boost. I tought o had all the air out it sounds ok when I start it for about 5 min the after a drive around it sounds louder than the Kb. I turned it from lock to lock slowly wit the cap off and still nothing.

Just a stab, but what pump do you have? Does the pressure match the rack....also double check your lines for proper routing.

Vince, I am running a Sweet Mfg. pump
Open flow 3.0 gpm
Flow @ 600 psi 3.2 gpm
Max flow is 1030psi

Good point if it matches the DSE rack I do not know?

.....also, which reservoir do you have and what fluid did you use.

-10 from reservoir to pump, right? Make sure that hose is vacuum rated as well.

Oh yea I went through the line thing already.�� they are correct!

Donny I have a Billet Specialities resevoir...and no -6 is run for every PS line.

I assumed remote reservoir.

You should be good to go.....I'm leaning towards pump at this point.

Does the fluid look foamy and its starts making noise? And is the noise all the time or only after the car warms up. DSE rack only needs 2 gpm and use a flow reducer, but that should not cause a noisy pump.

No the fluid is not foamy after I run it for 10 minutes it starts to make noise.
Interesting point about the rack. How do I know if I have a reducer is it the DSE fitting?
