Does anyone know what pressure the Z3 power steering pump runs at ?
And is it possible to fit the cooling pipe in front of the radiator on the E30 ?

The pump runs at 110-120 Bar.

Not sure about the cooling pipe though.

Er, Yeah, is still an hydraulic system, one that needs the high pressures for good steering responce.

Cheers Ian

I can use the original on the car then as it has 110 on it, with a bit of creativity with the pipes.

I've got this from the breakers but i'm not too sure what Z3 it
came off, If anyone can make sense of the numbers and let
me know it will be greatly appreciated.
I've not had a chance to measure the travel of the rack yet, because i seem to remember a thread about some of them having less movement :?
