Here is a kit offered for the replica Cobra crowd that uses a Toyota MR2 power steering pump:

These pumps are easily found for $100 or so in the states in junkyards, no reason why it wouldn't work for a 928.

There may or not be a revised power steering rack in the works.

Would be nice to get a bit more power assist, maybe even speed sensitive.

I may just be dreaming though.

I have a MR2 setup here that I am planning on installing on my Audi if you need any info from it. When I was looking at modifying my Audi setup, the MR2 pump seemed to be the most reliable option.

It has a simple "PLC" that modulates pump voltage dependent on speed, and has activation switches attached to a cam on the steering wheel. If the steering wheel was turned and bumped the micro-switch, then it would activate the pump, voltage going to the pump was determined by wheel speed. So, the pump never runs when the wheel is relatively strait. I was going to modify the system: keeping the activations switch idea, but install a 30amp PWM controller to adjust the pump speed, giving me complete control of the amount of assist. I never really thought about adapting it on the 928 because I always liked the steering.

That car was for sale on Ebay a week or so ago. If you buy it, you can take of the steering rack

Renault's electric power steering systems are known for their numb, disconnected road feel. Keep that in mind!

jajaja its good idea to buy the race 928.

Tarek has an electric PS pump in his super wide widebody. He may be able to steer you in the right direction.

I use an electric power steering pump on my race car because I wanted to move the weigh towards the rear.

MArk, isn't that the Porsche pump, and does it have any "speed-sensing" hardware?

Mark Anderson

Yes I use the factory RSR pump made by TRW but I don't know about speed sensing.

thanks for the help, im going to see what i make for my steering...if put a vauxal corsa steering column or a electric power steering pump.
thanks

Here is a quick little "how to" using the Toyota pump. Looks like it can be configured a few different ways based on speed input and steering. It can be set to shut down when traveling in a straight line
