Post subject:  Using a dry sump pump for power steering

Anyone ever use a dry sump or 2-stage pump's 2nd stage for power steering? results? I have also heard of connecting the power steering lines together and install an air valve then pressurize the system (using no pump). Anyone try this?

Where did you hear that from? I do know that if you buy a stage 2 pump, oil will come out from the pickup tube to both outfeeds on the pump and it has only 1 infeed (scavenger line) I dunno, it may work if its got its OWN stage like in and out only, nothing from the engine at all.

You need at least 1000 PSI for power steering. A dry Sump pump will not produce no were near that pressure. Its designed to handle a few hundred PSI max. You can however buy a dry sump pump with the ability to attach a power sterring pump to the other end for direct drive.
