ALARIA Electric Power steering pump bracket (suits SW20 MR2 pump)
We have been running the SW20 MR2 Power steering pumps in race and drift cars for years now and mounting them has always been involved and time consuming. For this reason Alaria Tethnically Innovations has designed a universal mounting solution to make the fabricator/ installers life easier.
Our bracket is CNC cut and bent from one piece of .100” thick cold rolled steel sheet and TIG welded.
- mutiple holes for bolt in options
- raw steel finish for weld in option
- all hardware to attach pump to bracket is included
- proven design has been used on Pro drift cars for years
- can be mounted vertically or horizontally
- saves time and money
- TIG welded
- weighs only 22 ounces
PUMP IS NOT INCLUDED but is available here in our online store.
Frequently asked questions:
Q: How much pressure do the pumps make?
A: Out of the box, we’ve seen the pumps generate 900-1000 psi, however there is a jam nut and adjustment screw on the pump housing, we’ve found that 1.5-2 turns will return 12-1300psi of output pressure. Some data logs on Pro Drift cars have shown as much as 1500psi.
Q: How much current do the pumps draw, and how should they be wired
A: Testing has shown that the pumps can draw 70-80 amps when under maximum load, as such the wiring will need to be robust, we usually recommend the use of a high current relay, or manually resettable circuit breaker that is accessible from the drivers location.
Q: Do I need to use the smaller wires and connector for anything?
A: No. Toyota used them to control the pump via an external ecu dedicated solely to power steering, all that is required for the pump to work is the heavy gauge power and ground connections.
Q: How much noise does the system make?
A: The pumps are not overly loud, but certainly there is a noticeable amount of noise coming from them. We recommend isolating the mounting bracket from the chassis if noise is a concern, and keeping the pump out of the vehicle cabin to keep noise and vibration levels to a minimum.
Q: Can I rotate the inlet fitting to suit my chosen location better?
A: NO. If you rotate the large inlet fitting, it will leak and you will not be able to make it stop. Consider yourself warned. We’ve tried it, other people have tried it, it doesn’t work.
