Did you drill out the original rag joint mount to fit some of the U-joint you cut down to fit it inside the rag joint mount a little?
Nope, i welded it straight on, made sure it was straight and running true first.
Fabbin Adventures mine is all in place and I can hear the ECM click on when I connect power but the electric motor has no power? Any ideas why that would happen?
Not sure, is it the same one i have? It takes 10 seconds after the click to engage. Are you sure your using the right wires? Beyond that, im not sure what might be wrong.
Thanks for watching
Fabbin Adventures I double checked every wire and confirmed the ECU and electric motor are getting power. Did your Prius shaft spin freely when it was not installed? Mine does not. I’m wondering if it is seized up at the motor.
I cant remember if it spun freely ot not, sorry im not much help
Great work! Thanks for sharing your fitment process. I really like that you were able to do this without having to buy anything else.
It really is a simple way to add power steering!
Wasn't going to do power steering conversation on my Zuk.. I think you have just changed my mind.. Thanks for another great video.
It really is easy to do, i dont know why i waited so long to do this conversion!
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!
Terrific insane.
Thanks a lot, I've got recently a LUV and have no idea how power the steering with surgical precision and bro, I found your video.
I'm gonna put a EPS from a ford fiesta, essentialy the same, but you give me idea how to mount and do it on the best way.
For those who make a great car better, we salute you!
Im glad you could find some value in my videos! It should work great for you!
Thanks for watching! And subscribe if you havent already, i put out videos every friday!
im totally doing this mod, thank you for taking the time to explain it so well.
Its a great mod, and i started making the eps mounting plates and selling them.
Message me on facebook if your interested in one.
I’m doing the same conversion to my 1974 datsun 620 you just reassured me that I am doing the right thing
It works so good, you will enjoy power steering!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Brilliant video along with a great explanation. Thank you. Love from the UK.
Glad you got value from my video!
Thanks for the comment!
I’ve been pondering over this for a while. Think I’ll go order me a unit 👍👍
Awesome, it really is simple to install!
@@FabbinAdventures Helio, Fabbin Adventures, I was watching you video of when you assemble the electric Power steering and I ask if by chence you sold the braket that you made to hold the Power Steering pump?
awesome thanks. Just got a prius power steering and ready to mount on my 92 EFI fully loaded 8 valve 1.6 dual 4.24 :1 1st case to 6.5 2nd T case, Isuzu Rodeo rear leaf spring both front and rear FJ80 full float axle rear 5.29:1 and FJ60 front both 9.5" diff, 2nd gen 4runner power steering gear box, air compressor conversion out of air condition of sidekick, custom bumper front inner 9,500 winch, missing link front and rear over 12" lift on 37' tires currently up to 39" tires if needed, and many other off-road capability etc. last thing is electric power steering assist.
Thanks for the video!
Michael
Wow! That sounds like quite the rig! Hope it works for ya! Its be a great mod for my sammy!
Just did this to a 1969 Jeepster Commando today. Used your video for reference on how to cut the housing.
Awesome! Glad my video could help!
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures! Subscribe if you haven't already, i'm putting out weekly videos!
You're the reason why I want to learn how to weld. My Suzy needs welding, I'm a bolt on guy but it's not the same.
I made a video on basic mig welding, hed to my channel and check it out if you havent already!
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!
Awesome Vid! Added something to my list during the time I'm doing an engine rebuild. Thanks man
You bet, glad i could inspire you. It really is easy to do!
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!
Thanks for the video. I watched your video several times. Ended up following yours as a guide. I purchased a Nissan Versa unit. I bought it because I have a 1.6 8v with samurai air conditioning. The Versa motor is on the opposite side and it clears the AC compressor. Part of the shaft universals fit both drive motor and steering box so no welding on rag joint piece was required there. I copied the way you fit sliding shaft and upper Samurai universal. My bracket is welded on top and outside of frame. Wiring it tomorrow. It appears with the Versa I have to ignition power 2 terminals. Thanks again.
Awesome! Good work modifying it to work with your rig, your gonna love it!
Excellent video! I'm going to add this to one of my Farmall"s. Thanks for posting!
Yeah, it would probably work on an old tractor like that, it made a huge difference on my Samurai.
Thanks for your comment!
Awesome walk through. Ty for putting this up 🤜🏻🤛🏻
You bet! I am working on making the mounts both bolt on and weld on for sale. Stay tuned in the next couple months.
Thanks for watching.
Just ordered a Prius EPS off of ebay for my 95 Samurai. Thanks for the video. I liked the way you did the install. After 20 years of no PS it is going to be great having it.
Oh wow, your gonna love that eps! Best mod ive done, i wouldnt got with out it now!
I make the bracket to sell to mount the motot to the frame if your interested.
@@FabbinAdventures I am going to try and make a mount that bolts through the frame. If I can’t I will definitely get one from you!!
Awesome! Have fun!
@@FabbinAdventures Got it in and working. It is great to be able to one hand the steering wheel. Thanks again for the video.
Awesome, pretty easy mod hey? You will never want to go back to arm strong steering..lol
Glad i could help.
Awesome Zuki videos!! Thanks for all you post
Glad you liked the video, and thanks for the comment!
Great job and presentation one of my next projects. Special thinks for the electrical information.
Its one of the best mods ive done to the samurai!
good vid! clean, well lit, clearly explained, thanks
Thanks, glad you liked the vid!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very good video, I mounted in my samurai, succesfull!😊
Thanks, you will love power steering!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
this is some great how to info, i would like to to add power steering on a Yanmar 240 compact tractor, leave everything the same but just add steering wheel torque. thanks.
I wonder if it will work, you should be able to fit it, i wonder if it will have the torque for a tractor.
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!
Excellent job describing. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
That is sweet! I did power steering using a saginaw tc pump and ifs Toyota box. If I was going to do it again I would have used a different pump mount so I could use the pump with integrated tank, and I’d use a fj-60 box. This setup looks sweet though, wish it was around when I did mine.
It is super easy to do, ive heard of a few guys with this in their rock crawlers for the last several year and work great. So i figured, why not!
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!
Fabbin Adventures I recently heard of this myself, keep us informed on how she holds up. Thanks for the build video.
Will do!
Where can I order this unit you changed my mind I need the power steering on my Sammy!! Keep up the great work I learned so much from watching your videos 👍👍
I ordered it off of ebay, here is a link.
www.ebay.com/itm/203069512930
Glad you enjoy my videos!
Nice video. Thank You!
Glad you liked it!
Awesome video! But where are the direction sensor cables connected tho? Please help :(
Thanks for the info!
You bet, glad i could help
Nice convertion sir..
Thanks you! It works great!
Good video sir.
Glad you like it!
Yeah, I did same thing with Nissan versa unit from a 2014 model, electric. Unit, it is awesome n it was cheap at 120.00 total,hyd. Anything was just too much total cost,brain unit in an airtight waterproof box, a camera case actually, a bit of welding n she was done.really needed it cause I have a spool in front!
Awesome, yeah i plan on locking the front now that i have power steering, i waited too long!
Hydraulic is expensive, messy, and eats up alot of room.
Thanks for watching!
@@FabbinAdventures yeah, ,I put my unit in the wheel well , the ps motor is basically waterproof, I went with 2 inch backspace wheels to gain the space for it.just tilted motor to left, shaft in same place.the extra space is also conducive to my future plans, I'm supercharging my 1.3 here shortly,not looking to build a powerhouse but a little extra is good, I mangled my stock rear leaf springs with a stock,mostly,1.3.guess that 6.5 to 1 t case gearset really beefs up the torque.im fixing all that as we speak.
Cool, i sent my motor pretty much straight up, didnt want to cut my wheel well, it clears every thing but i will be making a heat shield for the motor.
Awesome!
Thanks for watching!
Yes. I was looking for a good video for the electrical power steering for a long time wihout finding a good one. I have a powersteering from a tracker installed but i want to switch to an electric one.
I hope it covers all your questions. I too was looking for a decent video on how its done. The videos out there are crap. So i decided to make a good one that shows you everything you need to know!
@@FabbinAdventures I know that it will be a very good video.
Yes that was a good video. Know i have to find a power steering.
Yes it seems to work good, ill report back in a week or so with a video on what i think about it!
@@FabbinAdventures Hopefully the steering box hold the pressure. The box from the tracker is bigger but a lot of people break this thing.
Iam from algeria thank you so much
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Very nice
Yes it works great!
Hi thanks for the video it's inspiring.
I got mine off a Toyota corolla and did all the wiring in including ignition power and no click sound absolutely nothing. What are those other wires next ignition wire for? The black and white one. Maybe there is another step am missing.
By the way I have a similar Suzuki samurai hard top like yours
Its hard to say, if it was the same unit ( toyota prius ) i might be able to help you. Hope you get it figured out, because that power steering sure is nice!
Thanks for watching!
Nice 👍
Thanks for watching!
You mad scientist
Thanks for watching!
hello teacher, I wanted to ask you if on the side of the steering wheel you have enlarged the u-joint? and then did you insert the pin that comes from the electric motor into it? thank you
So just finding out about this mod and thank you for the video. My question is on my 68f100 power gear box... would I just plug the gear box ps.line holes or connect them together?
Thats a good question, probably plug them, but i think a power steering box is geared differently than the manual steering box so it may not work the same.
Bom dia Fabian, tenho um samurai e quero adaptar essa direção elétrica, qual veículo foi retirado esse sistema? Obrigado.
I would just add a set screw to the break in the lower sliding double spline area rather than drill the upper u-joint. It would serve the same purpose and be much neater and easier than drilling the upper joint.
Great video, but i cant help but think wouldnt it have been easier to use a power steering box from a suzuki jimny (theyre direct bolt swap) and use the power steering pump on the 16v engine your swapping in?
If we had jimnys here that might be an option. But we havent had a suzuki similar to the samurai since the early 90s.
Thanks for your comment!
Can you make a video about dash removal and floor center console mount?
I dont have any plans to remove the dash at this point, maybe if i pick up another suzuki project.
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures
Great video, good explanation.
I have a question: if the EPS should stop working, will it be harder to turn the wheel than without this setup? Like when the PS pump quits or you loose the PS belt on a hydraulic system?
Thanks
Yep, its like going back to manual steering, it sucks..lol
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Goodjob
It works well, thanks for watching and commenting.
drilled a half-moon? (special drill bit)
Hey Ron Great Video?? I got that turbo kit from Myron and what a total different beast!! Tho i am having a problem with the carb starving with fuel ...i Have replaced the Reg and e pump and adjusted timing and everything that myron told me to do still the problem stays.. i was just wondering if you ran in to that problem as well? thanks keep up the great Videos
I ran into low speed flooding, like first gear low range on rocks it would flood out. But the main problem i hated was, it did not start when our temps would get lower than -10c or -15c. I use my zuk for hunting, so the no start is a problem for me in the winter/fall.
The 1.6 16v swap is the way to go for me, more power than the turbo 1.3 and it starts and runs every time!
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!
Iv been intrested in this set up for awhile. I got a 1990 samurai on toyota axles with high steer, running 33x12x15 with 3.75" offset wheel. Its a beast to turn. My main concern is if this setup will prevent or reduce the steering wheel from being jerked out of my hands when hitting a rock or rut when out wheeling. I have a new old man emu steering stabilizer and it didn't really help it much. It really starts hurting my hands during a long day of trail riding and the steering wheel ripping out of my hands really suxs. Once you get a chance to test drive it can you let us know how well it helps prevent the steering wheel from ripping fingers off?
Yep exactly why i did this upgrade, hopefully i can get the 16v up and running today. Then ill do a shake down run and do a my thoughts video on the whole thing!
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!
Great set up can make my self one for my hj45 Landcruiser Hope I get the parts is that from a Prius eps thanks if you respond
Yes, it is from an 04 prius if i remember right
Thanks
Great idea , Its is time my 7 years old inherit one of my Samurais , power steering is for ladies only .
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!
Hello, Fabbin Adventures, I was watching you video of when you assemble the electric Power steering and I ask if by chence you sold the braket that you made to hold the Power Steering pump?
Ive had alot of people ask for this, and i may start making the bracket for sale. Stay tuned.
Thanks for watching!
I'd love to make the swap in order to get more space to fit in my TDI, itd be rad to not need a power steering pump. but is there a way to do this that also completely eliminates the ginormous block that is the rack/pinion? Its my goal to remove that so that I can fit in a bigger rad
I have no idea, sorry.
I did this mod to my 1986 tin top that has a/c, so I pushed it back further which made me have to double knuckle to the steering wheel link. Mine works great turning left, however turning right is much stiffer (but still easier than non power). Is this something you or any one else has encountered?
No i have not heard of anyone experiencing that, mine turns equally easy either way. Definitely one of the best mods ive done to the Samurai!
Thanks for watching!
Love it I did this conversion to my samurai but I am having trouble finding the plug for the ecu ignition. I am just using a small pin but it likes to fall off. Where did you get your plug from?
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video.
My eps came with all the plugs needed.
Sorry im not much more help
Thanks for your comment!
Good day to everyone, I'm doing this same mod to my 88 samurai at this time. I am wondering if you by chance have any templates for the mounting bracket?
No i dont do templates but i sell the mounting bracket.
I’m curious about the motor handling the big tires on the trail.
A lot more torque than the bicycle tires on a Prius.
I haven't had any trouble with it yet, and everyone ive talked to that has the mod done has had no trouble either. So far, so good!
I have a unit off a Saturn Vue. I also have a conversion kit for a Ford Festiva. Wire plugs are different. How do I figure out which wires do what with the control unit?
Thats a good question my friend, im no ace when it comes to wiring..lol thats why i went with the prius, there is easily available schematics for it.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Here I was earlier today wondering why I haven't researched powersteering yet, cause I'm tired of forcing it from side-to-side. Yeah, this is a sign, now it's over to ebay!
I really wish i would have done this earlier, too much procratinating, but get stuck in a couple tight spots and you start wishing you had power steering!
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!
hello nice video! exactly the steering servo of which car model was it and what year ?
Says it right in the video
How thick is that bracket you made I’m doing it tomorrow got the power steering it’s gonna be awesome hopefully
3/16" your gonna love it!
hey! I loved your video and found it to really demystify this whole swap. question for you. would you happen to be able to measure the length of that Prius shaft that you welded to the ujoint closest to the steering wheel? the female splined shaft. long story short I did this swap and chopped the shaft up and welded it to the samurai end and hate how it turned out and want to start over with a different shaft.
"Demystifying" was exacty what i was going for.
I never cut that shaft, its full length. I only ground down the splines on it and slipped it inside the ujoint and welded it.
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!
@@FabbinAdventures oh I know you didn't cut it that's why I'm looking for that measurement. I cut mine up and want to know if I can get by with an uncut shaft.
patrick arter flamingriver.com has all the shafts and couplers
Hello, as this EPAS is designed to be built into the passanger compartment, didn't you experience any issues due to water and mud , the unit most probably recieves?
Not yet, i have had no problems with water crossings or big mud holes. It works great.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Hi, how things are going after 2 years using it? Great job !
Its been great, one of the best mods ive done!
Hello, great video. I installed it on my toyota hilux 1985 model 4x2. Its perfect when i am stopped. But when i am driving i have not the reset of wheel. I must turn the wheel after a corner. While firstly the wheel was reset autmatically after a corner. Do you have any suggestion?
Im not sure i am understanding your english.
Try unhooking the power and hooking it back up. To reset the computer.
Thanks. I do not have this feature anymore
ruclips.net/video/wLbs8kBXgrw/видео.html
I'm doing this conversion but I'm sure I've got a little bit of a weld bias in the column, it's just a little bit.
It's not a problem, is it?
Well if it creates binding issues it will, if not, id say your good to go!
Enjoy the power steering.
Thanks for watching!
Hi mate. i have a Hilux rn105 1989 doesn't have power steering. went to a garage and they quoted me $2200 AUD. I will have a look at this option. thanks
Definitely look at this option, it will be way cheaper!
I just have one question? Do you need to "center the shaft between lock to lock during install ?? Never seen a comment about this. If this is necessary can I feel the "stops" when no power is present.??
I never did, seems fine
HI there, Awesome video bud! I am busy doing this conversion on a RHD Samurai, I just wanted to know if the motor can lean over to one side?(I have to do this to miss the intake) I have little knowledge on how these things self center, I am using the exact same EPS unit. TIA!
Thanks for watching, yes i dont think orientation matters at all. I know a few guys who have them sitting sideways.
@@FabbinAdventures That's good to hear, I just spent a 2 weeks making custom shafts and U joints to realize this morning that it will catch the intake 🤣 Going to try fit it this week, Super excited! Thanks for the response man! Have an awesome week
Awesome! Good luck with your project!
You will love the power steering!
Make sure you subscribe and check out my newer videos. I put out 2 vids a month in the summer and 4 a month in the winter!
Do you find that the power steering motor gets really hot when playing off road? Mine gets pretty hot, so I'm going to add a small fan to blow air on it. Hope that works.
I never noticed! Im headed off road today, ill keep an eye on it and see!
Thanks for watching!
Nice video and your corvertion, I ask u about ebay, if I order it is sure to came same item I ordered? Because I'll try to my jeep I'm from Phillipines.. Thanks you bro
i cant guarantee anything, but you shouldnt have any trouble
Laurent Man
Where did you cut the shaft of there is goona be a problem after a year or so water infiltreats in and will kill the bearings inside the power steering
just bare in mind how you will seal to avoid that issue
No problems after 3 years yet. If you didnt notice the video is 3 years old.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
How is the electric steering holding up, its been about 8 months now. I was thinking of going this route, how well is it holding up with 33s and front locker? Thanks
Sofar so good! Only been on a coiple wheeling trips with the front locker in, but both the steering and locker are awesome! The TRE Air locker seems to be working fin also, but then again, only a couple trips on them!
Thanks for following my build and commenting!
How did you hook up the speed sensor ??? can you explain that please? Our version of Samurai (Gypsy in India) is with a fuel injected motor but doesn't have a speed sensor. So how do i hook up the sensor part. Thank in advance. Love your vids. Keep posting
You need the speed sensor from the donor, take the plastic off of it, modify it to fit in your instrument cluster. Solder a blac wire to one side a yellow to the other. Black goes to ground, yellow goes to yellow wire coming from the ecm harness of the donor.
Hi, very interested in this, which speed sensor from the donor ie position, & after it's wired where is it picking the signal from @ the instrument cluster, regards Brian
Hello …very great video . I Will try to do it on my Toyota Tercel . Any difference LHD. Vs RHD “ kit” what did you buy? Henrik
I didnt buy a kit, i bought a prius power steering unit and modified it to fit my samurai.
Thanks … but was your Unit for LHD or RHD?… 😊
Lhd
What tipe of electric steering rack can I use for a beetle?
No idea man! Possibly the same thing depends how much room you have.
Thanks for watching!
When you had it jerry rigged to test it out, did it ever cut off? When you got the end of turning? If that makes sense?
nope it never cut out
Hi Ron, great video lesson. I just bought a EPS unit from a 2009 Prius also, and I'm getting ready to install it, but I have a question I don't think anyone has addressed. Did you fuse the power wire to the motor? If so, how many amps? 30? And if not, is it safe that way? Thanks, from Bud in Red Deer.
Hey Bud, thanks for watching and commenting! It really helps the video out!
I did use a fuse, a 50 amp mega/blade type if thats what they are called.
I dont show much wiring on my channel as thats not my strong suit and id hate to steer some one wrong. That being said, maybe a 30 amp fuse would be fine, i dont really know. I ran 8 guage wire for it though.
If you ever get up to edson area with your Sammy, give me a shout, maybe we can go wheeling.
@@FabbinAdventures Thanks Ron. I get up Edson-way for work sometimes, but never with my Sammy. But if you do Whipsaw again this year, I sure wouldn't mind tagging along!
Oh i take it you havent seen the video?
We have a big run planned for August 6,7,8th 2021. 45 rigs already confirmed!
Go to my channel and look for the video!
Hey man. U mind asking ur buddy with all the suzuki knowledge if he has a 1.3 dohc suzuki swift motor. I've been searching forever. Mine blew up it's an 89. I'm located in prince george bc. Thank you
No he doesnt have one, there was a guy with 3 cars for sale a few months back, and there are some in ontario. Those are the only ones i know of.
I was considering that option once, but seems to me a better option was to go with something more common.
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!
Would this work on a right hand drive as well. Thanks
I dont see why it wouldnt.
Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures.
Can a new eps be used? Or is it just the year window that is common? 04-09 Prius.
That is the common year that people use, ive heard of guys using saturn and other models, but i believe the prius is the simplest one to use.
Thanks for watching.
Any chance you would know or still remember the length from end to end?
Oh not a chance..lol i can hardly remember what i did last week sorry.
Hello Friend! From the Toyota Prius, right-hand drive, will it work?
I have no idea, we dont have right hand drive vehicles here
Did you have to upgrade your alternator to accommodate the extra power needed?
You probably might want to think about it if your still stock. I upgraded to a 105amp alternator a long time ago.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
How does your 1.6 fit? Did you have to mount your airbox differently?
It fit just fine, i made my own airbox, check it out! ruclips.net/video/zKR5Bnfn5T4/видео.html
Where did you get your power steering sytem from i heard ebay but not a specific vehicle it cam off of
Off of e-bay, 2009 toyota prius. I say it right in my power steering video.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Could this work on a sidekick that has no power steering?
It is possible, id have to see one in person.
I dont have one here to look at and be able to tell if it would work.
Thanks for watching!
I have to do the same for my samurai
It is still one of my most favorite mods!
Thanks for watching!
Will it return back to center the steering with this setup ???
It should
Did you add a fuse going from the battery to the ecm? And if so what size?
Yes i did, i would have to check as i dont remember the size. Im guessing a 50A.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@FabbinAdventures that would explain why my 30a popped on the maiden voyage this weekend figured that was overkill
Hi I did a 16V swap (well, it was done at a shop) My question in that regard is, my 1993 16V used OBD1 scanner , does yours use same ? My check engine lamps is lighting up and I can not find a hood OBD1 scanner, any you would recommend ?
I believe you count the flashes like " 2 flashes, pause 1 flash" equals code 21
Any issues with the steering 3 years later? Are you still running 33's how is it on rocks? Any complaints
No issues and no complaints, id do it again in a heart beat! We dont have rocks to play in here, but the little that i have played in it seemed adequate.
Yes still on 33x12.5x15s
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Will something like this work on a land cruiser with 38s?
I think it would be a little too light duty for 38s, especially in rocks or deep mud
great video, I bought and eps from a toyota yaris and I can't find a way to switch it on, I manage to hear the relay click but how do you find out if the motor is working without mounting it
Thats a good question man, they run perfectly quiet!
@@FabbinAdventures yeah they do and that's the only problem I have left I want to try it out before installing it
Maybe you could mount it in a vice and try it powered and unpowered with some resistance on the driven side?
@@FabbinAdventures I tried that I didn't really notice any difference with both the Corolla and yaris but the relay clicks on both of them so I don't really know what's going on maybe I'm doing something wrong
Hmm, well man, i dont know. Im not really any good with electrical stuff, if it dont work im at a loss usually.
Sorry.
How do you like those tires ? Lots of people use them just for looks and I'm finding it hard to get a really off road reveiw .
Well after todays shake down run, ill be selling there wheels and tires and getting the thrusters. The other zuk i was running with had thrusters and they were hands down better in the muskegg!
hello I was interested in your video I wanted to know which steering box you used if of a Fiat Punto or an Opel?
Hi
Over time an electric power steering works well?
Yes i have had it for over a year now and zero problems.
Whic car the electric power steering part came from
Thanks!!!
09 toyota prius, says it right in the video
What time of steering do you have? Is it stock steering or hi steer?
Its high steer from trail tough.
How water proof are they? Like Would you cross a river with a unit like this? This seems like the answer tho!
the motor should be fine, just add a little rtv in some of the suspect spots and put the ecm where it wont see any water and you should be fine. i,ve done a bunch of water crossings with it so far, only a couple deep enough to maybe submerge the motor a bit, no troubles yet.
Boss I'm trying to install on deisel vehicle but can't find how to wire pulse signal wiring
Did you get the same unit as i did on the video? Its simple, positive, negative and keyed power. Thats all you need.
@@FabbinAdventures no boss mine has other 2 wires like signal wires
Mmm, well i wont be much help then
Great video! I used the same electric motor and ecu for mine but did you have a problem like others have mentioned with the wheel not self centering after turns? I thought it may have been caused the way I mounted the motor (straight up just like yours) since OEM the motor is pointing at 3 o'clock I believe. Even after checking alignment and replacing all tie rod parts with new, I'm still having the same issue. There seems to be a dealer 'centering' procedure that I've been wanting to try to see if that resolves the issue? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
No, mine seems to center fine, never had any troubles with it.
Thanks for watching!
I have the same issue since i convert my delica to EPS. The reason is inside the EPS motor, there is a worm gear mechanism which doesn't allow the main shaft to rotate itself withe the motor. Did Tone of researchers to find a solution and just today i realize using a steering damper is the only solution. Just like Fabbian already had one fixed to his Samurai. Hope you understood.
Thanks for your comment!
@@wpdesilva What is a steering damper you mention? Can you point to time in Fabbian's video where you see steering damper?
