In the worlds of racing and performance driving, with tire and wheel sizes stretching ever outward, the power steering system is becoming increasingly overloaded. Investing in a capable system is paramount to a successful racecar and even rewards in the driver’s seat. Turn One High Performance Steering Systems is one such company that specializes in capable steering systems for all manners of street and racing applications.
“As track conditions change with heat and the course, drivers can use this to adjust the way the steering feels.” said Jeff Roethlisberger of Turn One.
Turn One produces power steering pumps for a plethora of applications and also specializes in LS-swapped engines. They offer GM type-2 power steering pumps for that are compatible with Porsche 944 and Mazda RX-7 and 240SX power steering racks. This means you can drop your LS engine of choice into either of those popular chassis and retain power steering.
The company even offers an adjustable flow valve that allows the driver to custom tailor the amount of power assist to their liking. This is a great addition for swap cars because the pressure output of the GM pump can be tuned to the power steering box/rack already in the chassis. Say goodbye to over-assisted power steering in swapped chassis.
Turn One engineers also reduce the amount of horsepower it takes to run the power steering system. They don’t simply rebuild GM pumps, the guys have years of experience refining the internals for lower parasitic horsepower loss. The smoothed and redesigned innards also reduce the temperature of the fluid in the system.
