[urq] urq Digest, Vol 104, Issue 12

[Jon Archibald]

I second Justy's advice. I run my 20v'ed urq with a Coupe Q vacuum
settup plumbed directly from the freeze plug on the fore end of the 3B
intake manifold for vacuum and distributed from a stock 4kq pressure
regulator.

I don't use a vacuum reservoir. I definitely don't need one for street
use, might be a consideration for near constant-boost track use (which
is somewhat unlikely barring a serious hillclimb). For spirited street
driving, simply not an issue.

For the power steering, a custom bracket is elegant but not necessary
if the price is prohibitive. I pieced one together using a combination
of 3B/4k brackets which actually works just fine. My first attempt was
to simply use a 200q20v pump with custom hoses which promptly exploded
my rack. Lesson learned.

A few pics of my settup which may not be gorgeous but works quite reliably:

Let me know if I can help further.

> For those who have 3B conversions, what have you done with the power steering? I recently purchased a urq with the 20VT but the previous owner has removed the brake bomb and has gone to vacuum assist. The PS is not connected and likely even currently installed unit does not seem like the belt will line up properly which tells me the original urn PS pump has been put on.
