Hi

This is power steering pump from Kia Rio, also I have GM Power steering pump, I will test them and see which one is suitable for my engine.

Richard Yeah she is a good runner, I solved sensitive throttle, and made 12V mini compressor, better than hairdryer ;D

Cheers Sven

Was that actually a hairdryer? I was going to give you man points and call it a heat gun

[sven]

;D lets call it heat gun then.

Today I finish my workday early, and went to home garage.

I started to work with turbine wheel housing, cutted flanges with my primitive tools ;D



welded turbine housing leg and polted vanes togheter, and heated them up to see expansion and release unwanted tensions from metal( or how you called it in english)



I dont have milling machine and lathe, I had to figure out how to cut radius which fit with turbine wheel radius. Nissan wheelbearing and regular benchdrill



And under angle



Close up( not finished yet).




Tomorrow I try to finish it up.


Cheers Sven

Nice job with the tools you have. Keep up the work..

I just love the primitive touch, quality work with limited tools is the best since it requires that the builder thinks outside the box and invent his own way of doing things. Love it!

[wolfdragon]

and there's another idea I'm stealing to use later on whatever would be applicable...

[sven]

Thanks guys Im glad you like it

Today I made new prgress, it was pain but I managed to get much furder with my build.

Pics tell my progress ) My welder is crap, those weld beads looks like crap :S But penetration is good, and thats all what matters for me:)



You think why so many holes in upper plate, cause its made from axle wideing bracket( my vw mk2 wheel brackets) ;D








Hope this clearance is enought








Cheers Sven

[Johansson]

Cheers

hello, i like what you are doing with limited resources,it makes me feel lazy because i should do more on my project :-[anyway i think that the best way is the traditional one pipe version!
keep up the good work!
