Buschur Racing Electric steering

Has anyone used this in a road racing application yet?

I'm curious on if this will run cooler than stock since it's electric.

From what I can see most Porsches run a ps pump off the engine and the GT3 gets this. I'm assuming it's more reliable then.

Thanks for your input.

Here's the pump

I am really interested in it. With the reduced price I would get it, but the pre requisite statement about fitment has me concerned. It was designed to fit cars with no abs, aftermarket brake lines w/ manual brake conversion. It kind of narrowed their available customers who can run this. I guess I will wait and see if anyone installs one that still has abs on their evo.

Keep us posted on fitment. I would pick one of these up if it actually fit.

I also wonder how it will affect feel, I'm pretty sure they meant it for drag racing applications. Hence, the design with no ABS.

A couple of our customers ran electric PS on their cup cars. We converted a carrera to the electric setup. It felt the same. As long as the pump supplies the same pressure as the OE unit them feel should be identical. I'm assuming the belt driven pump has variable output with RPM. But you should have max desired pressure at idle for parking lot maneuvering. So I'm not sure how much the variable pressure is used or if it just dumps the pressure when the RPM is increased.

guys. you can fit these pumps almost anywhere. dave just made it ''hidden'' to clean up the bay, shorter lines, less nose weight. im sure other reasons too.

if you have ABS and it does not fit then have lines made and mount it were you just removed the OEM pump. yea it will look funny but ask your self WHY did you want this mod. less weight? less drag? well you still get that benefit.

Or you could mount it in the rear. We did it to the Porsches to shift the weight forward in the car and the usual of cutting weight and less power drag.
