E34:Change to non-power steering rack
i wonder if anyone here has experience doing a conversion to a non-power steering (ie fully manual steering) on a E34 either thru:
1. disabling the pump
2. total conversion to a steering rack without power steering (is there one in fact ?)
i'm looking at this from the point of reducing the # of hydraulic items to go wrong and also reduce parasitic loss on the engine.
but how much power would u loose running the pump? 0.1 HP? its only steering...
surely once ur off idle it'd make no difference whatsoever...
