Borgeson Power Steering Thoughts....

Just so you don't waste time wondering what the heck is going on (like I did, until I called Borgeson). I begin rough alignments by making the pitman arm angle parallel to the frame rail when the steering box is adjusted to be on center. But, the Borgeson unit bolts in at a 4.5 degree angle, so when the Borgeson box is on center, your pitman arm won't be parallel to the frame rail, resulting in the tie rod lengths being unequal when both wheels point straight ahead. Borgeson had to put in the 4.5 degrees to adapt their GM box to the Mopar K-member mounts. You can see that 4.5 degrees on their site, on their installation drawing. The Borgeson engineer I talked to said their box has to be on center when going straight ahead, and that it is not OK to fudge it off center to make the tie rods equal length. He didn't say what the reason was, so maybe it's for straight ahead tracking stability, or maybe so the turn radius isn't changed, or maybe for "return to center" force after the turn, or maybe something else. I don't know. But, I would rather have equal length tie rods, so if anyone out there thinks it is OK to start with the steering box off center, please let me know why.

I'm running pump pressure on the low side because I like the feel better, and sometimes I swear I can feel the difference in force (caused by the 4.5 degree angle) between starting to turn left or right, when starting from straight. But, it's barely noticeable, and probably not noticeable at the recommended pump pressure.
I'm curious about your pump pressure.. I'm running a Borgeson pump in a Hemi swap, using a stock Hemi 6.4 pump. I picked a pressure reducer form Sublime, that reduces the pressure to 800 -850 psi. I believe stock pressure is 1350 psi (still trying to find more data) The lower pressure valve is intended to be used with a stock box, no mention of aftermarket. SO, I'm kinda torn which way to go, since the recommended pressure for Borg is 1100-1250. What pressure are you running?

I also noticed on his site that he also recommends running a 2.5 gpm orifice.. Again, not sure how any of this applies to the Borg box but maybe adding a 2.5 orifice to you setup may make it feel better for you. I'm still trying to figure which direction I need to go...

From Sublimeparts.com site
These pressure relief valves are designed for 800-850 psi and are a direct replacement for the valves in your current "Toyoda" power steering pumps as found on most Hemi engines.

Simply combine with a 2.5 Gallon Per Minute (gpm) flow orifice and you should be good to go.

We recommend using the TurnOne 2.5 gpm orifice fitting, commonly found for the Cadillac CTSV.
