Need Info on: Progressive Steering

[Big Wang Bandit]

I absolutely love it on my new 89.

Here is my question, How does it work?

Also, What makes the car have progressive steering? I assume its a combination of the Rack and the pump?

Any info is grately appriciated.

Thanks

It's all in the TSRM....besides, why are you driving so fast anyway?

The progressive part of the steering is in the valving at the rack. Read the TSRM to get the details. Personally I like having the steering feeling the closest to the same all the time. I don't want extra power at lower speeds and less at higher, I am sure it makes feeling the car out more difficult.

Makes steering tighter at high speeds.

You get a better feel of the road and the car with PPS. It makes the sterring tighter at higher speeds and very soft at low speeds. It is a great feature.

I like it on the hard setting... I got mine working but actually cut the wire now so it's hard all the time. :naughty:

I'll never understand why people wouldn't want PS in a car that isn't mostly dedicated for some sort of racing purpose.

cause it adds 5hp, and then you dont need to go to the gym, jsut drive the supra for 30 mintutes..

PPS is an excellent feature, it makes steering the car through parking lots like a luxery car, but at higher speeds it tightens up and steers like a performance car should. In the upper right corner you will see the pressure control valve with the wiring harness. When the pressure control valve gets a signal, it opens valving and bleeds off some of the steering fluid, therefore tightening up the steering.

I rebuilt my rack when I had my engine out.

Thanks Rajunz! Thats exactly what I wanted to know!

 

[mattjk]

actually, it's the other way around. the valve is normally open, then closes with signal for low speed steering.

That and I can't be bothered to replace the leaking pump. :icon_razz

Your supra is a dedicated race car?
