ok soon i will be installing the driftworks hicas delete kit, but what parts do i need that go in place of the solenoid under the bonnet, to delete and remove it. And where can i get them/ it from.

 

i do not want to get an NA PAS pot/ pulley though as i have lightened pulleys already.

I think you only need the pot don't you? Because the pot just gives you less outlets, allowing you to remove the solenoid and pipes going to the rear rack, without having untidy bungs and stuff in your engine? That's certainly the plan I'm going for anyway, as I have the DW kit too and atm the HICAS solenoid is still there and the pipes are just looped at the rear subframe.

no you dont need to change the pot all you need to do is join the 2 hicas outlet pipes from the pump. correct nutbolt and locking washers if remember correctly. you only need to change the pot if you want to remove the pipework completely.

The pulley is a new one on me, anybody shed any light on it. I've got to do mine sooner now as my rear arms are supposedly shot. Garage can't get the wheels straight to align them.

if you delete all the pipework etc you need to change the passpot for an NA one and you also need a NA powersteering pump, eg no hicas outlets from pump all you do is put your tt pully on the NA pump as the belts are different.

yes id like to remove the pipework completely, so what do i need. and where from :-)

 

and i DO NOT want an NA POT.

did this when I completely removed the hicas on mine, very simple to do.

If you want to remove all the non used pipework then you have to have an NA pot.

 

Basically for full hicas removeal you need

 

NA pass pot

NA Pump with TT Pully

Lockout bar or Hicas elimonation kit

about 2 hours to do.

Due to your lightweight pully the best way for you would be just to loop the 2 hicas pipes from the powersteering pump togetherand hide them away. this way you dont need to touch the pass pot or the pump.

can i PM you closer to the time ZX TT you seem to know your stuff..

yeah no worries fella

Does this differ slightly for the later non-hydraulic HICAS setup?

I don't know this for sure, but my understanding was the whole non-hydraulic part was simply that it was electrically activated, not that it didn't still use power steering fluid to move it? If that's the case I would say it's likely still the case.
