Simple (?) question about IS250 power steering
I'm doing the preliminary groundwork for a 4GR engine swap into an older Toyota chassis. Can someone with some technical familiarity with the IS250 tell me if the POWER STEERING system:
A) is purely electrical (no hydraulic fluid used at all)?
B) is electro-hydraulic, with an electrically driven power steering pump?
C) uses a traditional belt driven power steering pump on the engine?
Thanks!

Meh... that's what I was afraid of. Well thanks. The 2GR powered Camry uses a traditional power steering pump. I think finding a way to mount that on the 4GR would be option #1. Second choice would be going electro-hydraulic, which Toyota used in the MK2 and MK3 MR2s and possibly others I'm not familiar with. It would be a lot of additional work, but probably more feasible than trying to transplant the entire IS steering rack and control system.

I think the Camry 2GR-FE power steering pump is probably a good option.
Other pieces like the belt tensioner and so on are the same between the 4GR-FSE and the 2GR-FE. The P/S pump on the 2GR-FE mounts on the RH side of the engine, the 4GR-FSE doesn't have anything in the way over there I don't think.
Good luck!
