I finely got around to testing my hydraulic power unit in my power steering application.
The bad new is it draws more power at idle than I expected, I was expecting 40 amps, it draws 60 amps.
The good news is turning the steering wheel side to side on dirt it was drawing less than 110 amps. I was expecting it to draw closer to 200.
The steering wheel was turning almost effortlessly.
So 2.1GMP at 1400psi is more than enough.
The power steering pump still has that huge 3 gallon tank on it. I wanted to test it before I spent the time cutting it down and welding it back together.
