what should be check on those ? where do they go ? I don't enven remember if I have those.Check the 2 little air pipes on the steering rack,low idle doesn't help.
tight UJ?
This is a common problem on the RX8, but it is in the engine bay near the exhaust. Worth a look though.
Is it tight one way, or just in a certain place?

I have tried 3 mecanical pump, and 5 hydraulic/electric pump. 3 steering rack, semi synth DEXTRON and full synth ATF fluid without sucess !!
As I said, when starting the car it is all fine at start. then after some time during racing it becomes freaking heavy

Completely stabbing in the dark here,
What if it's the belt heating up and expanding a bit, hence reducing the pump pressure
Give it a nip up and see ?
Pipe on rack helps idles the engine up when power steering pump strains, 1 goes to the vacuum rail on inlet manifold and other to throttle vac.
You never mentioned any of that to begin with!!!!!
Are you revving any higher than normal? Are you using stock sized pulleys?
Lionel, at this point i'm lost as to the cause of your issue,
i can't see it being any of those items now, so we have to look elsewhere or something mechanical which is connected....steering column?---but i dont think there's anything in there to seize/tighten up
could the extreme heat from the manifold/turbo be affecting the PS pump after a long pull? causing the fluid to run hot or bypass something or drop pressure? just taking some wild guesses here....PS oil cooler???.....but then again ppl track these cars without PS issues so that's questionable
hopefully that solves the issuesWell, those were missing. Don't know when they did disappear, But that could well be the reason. answer at the next race !!
Thank you
do you mean like the automatic transmission cooler at the bottom of the stock radiator on an automatic ep91/ep82??? if so, i've always wondered how effective they really are ---hot ATF, hot coolant, hot radiator, hot manifold, hot downpipe...but it's just something in the back of my mind, who knows??!!Heating has been one of my though. I think there are few factors and that one could definitly be one of the cause. I tried a cooler (I have a cooler inside my water rad) but didn't change anything.
