At the Performance Racing Industry show in Indianpolis last weekend I had the pleasure of being introduced to this company and the two great individuals running the booth.
TURNONE produces all the powersteering pumps for the ASA stock cars which run the LS1 engines. If you need a pump they can and will help you out with either a rebuild of yours or supply a new pump. They will free up some horsepower as well as make your pump more reliable by reducing the fluid temperatures. They also have a really cool aluminum pulley to replace the plastic one. www.turnone-steering.com Thanks! ERV :leaving: |

Mitchntx and several others (shortbus? and a few more) are running them, all seem to like them so far.
That pulley is a nice piece as well. |

I think Keith turned me onto them when we were all happy at LS1.com |

I had one modified by them and am quite pleased with it.

Will this part obviate the need for a separate ps cooler?

QUOTE (BCinU @ Dec 15 2004, 04:48 PM) Will this part obviate the need for a separate ps cooler? It should certainly help as the main temperature increase in the fluid is likely because of the constant recirculation the fluid is doing. The pump produces way more pressure than is needed at higher rpm where you spend most of your time racing. I have one in my car and loved it this year. Didn't have time to thermocouple the fluid temps though. I'd have liked to understand if a cooler still did much good when using the lower flow pump. |

I had one on my old LS1 and it worked great. The buyer of the car open laps and autocrosses it and hasn't had any problems either.

I never got to try the TurnOne pump without my small cooler, but I can say that:
TurnOne PS Pump + Small Permacool Cooler = NO PROBLEMS! (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

(IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) I can say that just a LG underdrive pulley, small permacool cooler and Valvoline fluid meant no problems too. At almost 100,000 miles I was still on my original p/s pump. I went for the overkill this year and got the Turn One too. |

Do you buy these direct from Turn One? What's the cost?

I don't remember the cost and I gave the receipt to the buyer of my car. Just call them and find out... A search here or at the LS1.com AX/RR forum will find their phone number.

I seem to recall $180 and $40 for the pulley ...
Buy direct from Turn One or Lingenfelter markets them as well ... |

That reminds me - unless you like fooling around with pulleys, order one with the pulley already on it. It will halve the installation time.

IMO, the pulley isn't worth it if you have the tool or access to the tool. It only takes a couple of minutes. The aluminum isn't saving you weight or anything over plastic. It is more durable, but this isn't a high stress or easily damaged part. $40 is $40!

Are the LT1 and LS1 different? Where can you buy these besides directly from Turn-One? Their web site does not have costing. What are the costs?

The reason for the pulley was that ASA cars were breaking the plastic pulley. For most people it doesn't matter. For the "real" racers it certainly is helpful. I can leave the whole powersteering system in tact when working on the engine. It's nice to have access to the bolts with out having to remove the stock pulley. It also saves me the time to go find the puller in the toolbox and the time to remove/install the pulley. The plastic is also such a nice looking piece. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) We have also warped our plastic pulley, can you get a replacement pulley for $40, a pulley of know history...not junk? ERV |

ERV I knew it was for the ASA guys, but they run at 6000+ rpm all the time, not our 3000-6500rpm. I guess having access to bolts is a good idea. I don't care about the looks and I haven't warped mine yet (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) it in ~20 track days. You make some good points though!!
