- Bit of insight into how to install a Holden Astra self contained electric power steering pump into an EG Civic which basically translate to any vehicle imaginable.. Simple!
AN6 adapter fitting for Astra pump:
SPEEDFLOW M16 X 1.5 BUMP TUBE TO -6 MALE - SF741-06-BLK
Honda EG DC EK power steering rack to an6 fittings:
M16 x 1.5 male to AN6 JIC male -6AN Black Raceworks RWF-733-06BK
M14 x 1.5 male to AN6 JIC male -6AN Black Raceworks RWF-732-06BK

Thank you for this one! I'm halfway through the installation on our heavily modified Range Rover classic.
Woah what a rig! Will need to use some big fuses or circuit breaks for that big unit, the more load on the wheels and rack, the more amps the pump will pull!
@@Carls_Built Thank you! I've seen somewhere that it needs 80A fuse. My Landy is not going to see any rock crawling. 😉
This is so cool!!! I’m gonna be deleting the power steering in my Del sol so I need to keep my arms working between gym days but I would love to put one of these in my SC400!
Brother, I put the high pressure line on the bottom and that fought back like you said.
Nice work, man..... I'm going to be running an Mr2 pump and u certainly took some of the guesswork out of the fittings for the ps rack for me. Thank you
Glad i could help! PS makes it so much nicer to drive & the electric ones still allow some good steering feedback too 💪🏼
Did u ever get to installing it? Currently thinking of getting the same one
💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥 everything is the same if it were to be a lhd civic
Yessir, all the same except you would have the rack fittings on the same side as so would need far less hose and maybe some 180 degree fittings off the rack to get the hoses headed towards the pump 😎
Nice video & the knowledge Bro...I have a question 🙋🏻♂️,when u drive at the road and fast...Is the steering gonna feel like have a load & heavy?
So you had the 2-port rack from integra? Was wondering if you can do this on 3-port eg rack, as i cant find any information on the internet.
Clean work,🔥🔥🔥
awesome video would it be possible to wire it to the fuel pump so itt comes on with fuel as in uk it has to turn on itself even key is turned or it fail mot
Great question! Yes it can be wired that way.
You would take the 12v signal from the ecu to the fuel pump relay and splice into that to also be the signal (12v on) for a power steering pump relay 👍
Pretty sweet man
Feels so good not having to wrestle the sticky tires too haha maybe that my age starting to show hahahaha
See how it goes when your doing fast lock to lock , a lot of people say it get heavy due to the can bus wires not being connected they can sense engine speed and applied torque but mist people don't connect those wires , so it's kinda running in default highway mode, unable to tell if your really getting into it , hence heavy steering they need a mod so they can tell the difference between heavy steering line parking the car or highway cruising, in its present format in can't tell the difference.
The pump alone can in fact adjust its pressure output without connecting those additional wires. Under heavy slow loads it ramps up its speed to assist with more input and reduces accordingly 👍
How noisy are these pumps with the engine running? Does the whining ever become too much?
Hey mate, thanks for this video and sharing the insight. I'm just piecing parts together now, would you remember how long the hoses need to be from the pump to the rack please mate? And also, where did you get the little breaker box from?
I believe I ordered 4 meters of hose for this job 👍 The breaker is just an everyday unit I got online hey, heaps of options and 80% are the same thing with huge variations in price so do some shopping around. You can even use an inline amplifier fuse setup too if you get stuck
@@Carls_Built awesome mate, thanks again!
Hey mate
Did you have any issues with fitting an air intake ??
Love what you did here. Looks great! By chance, do you have the description or a link to “one of these guys” @13:53 for the regular lines? Thanks
Yeah mate, they're called Finisher clamps or End finisher clamps. Look up the size of the line, here they're AN6, and finisher clamp and you'll have a tonne of options. Good for use on the brake booster line too
Hi! Nice setup :). We´re doing the exact same thing to our endurance racer. I just have a question about the feed fitting on the rack. The oem one is with and inverted flare and I have a really hard time finding one of those over here. Did you just use a normal straight m16x1.5-AN6 fitting and no issues with leaks?
Good to hear man, its a great setup! And yes, just a plain adapter fitting works a treat 👍
Nice and easy
Hi, installed the high pressure hose to the bottom fitting on the rack. My steering wheel fighting me like crazy. Is it because I have bleed the rack or I should swap the hose over
Sounds like you need to swap them over, yeah! I done the same and it acted like the wheel had a mind of its own haha switched them over and she was good
@carls1641 but I followed your instructions in the video. What tread is the high pressure line and location?
Did you use the restrictor found in the original Astra power steering line. I'm told the pressure can be an issue on the return line.
Nope, no restricter here and she runs and feels mint 👍
nice work...what fluid are you using for the EPS?
Using trusty Penrite HPSO power steering fluid mate 👍
What material hose did you use? I'm about to plumb mine into my ek
I used braided Teflon fuel line for this one! You can use PTFE hose too but keep in mind PTFE isn't as easy to bend around corners as rubber hose 👍
Hi there.
which power steering fluid did you use?
Is suggest using what ever fluid is used OEM in the rack. My preference is always Penrite fluids for make/model 👍
What size fitting do you used at the steering rack and the pump?
What’s the length between the rack and the pump? 1m I’m assuming?
I gave 1.5M per line being RHD, can always trim down and use the spare AN6 hose else where, and it gives you plenty of option on how you route the lines and keep them un-kinked 👍
Sweet bro! Cheers for that!!
can you do power steering on k24a2 into a eg?
would this pump work on a 1997 chevy silverado? thank you
100%, this setups used on a huge variety of cars.. only real variable is the fitting sizes for the powersteering rack 👌
Hello I am going manual to power steering with an electric volvo pump. I need to know if the stock subframe support a civic PS rack and pinion or if I have to get one from a power steering civic/integra. Please tell me if I need a new subframe. Thanks!
The stock subframe supports both manual and power steering. The bracket that’s holds the rack onto the subframe is different so you’d have to get a power steering rack bracket/bolts.
Why didn't you put it just behind there? You don't have a washer bottle there anyway.
Same reason you don't tuck oil coolers there.. the car gets the occasional track day and a visit into the sand trap would potentially damage the system and, also, the washer unit is there too now as its a road registered car 😎
@@Carls_Built, i am going to put mine where the washer bottle is meant to be. The reservoir will be sticking out of the washer bottle hole. My car is a road registered car as well. Everything is a defect these days, so i am not worried about that.
@@aaronsadat4633 is it a car.. yes? Defect! hahahaha
@@Carls_Built, a cop defected the factory IWC clock in a C63S AMG and wrote " turbo horsepower gauge".
tell me you did not hook up the P/S pump to the ECU line!!
Relay for the PS pump was wired inline with the fuel pump relay 12v ign on signal 👍
@@Carls_Built sounds good; since the P/S pump gets a lot of Amps when steering standing still,in the order or 50 or more, the high side of the relay needs to be hooked up directly to the battery through a 80 Amp fuse right near the battery,usually.
@@josepeixoto3384 Yep! thst exactly how I have it setup, its only the 12v “on” feed that's on the low amp fuel pump relay.
Its great being able to push the car in the shed with powersteering but the car not having to be running 😁
@@Carls_Built NOT BAD IDEA .BUT YOU CAN INSTAL Manual Steering Rack & Pinion ,then install inside under dashboard
Electric power steering unit Toyota Prius 2011-15 .wheel will be Softer end You will lose weight ,because manual steering wheel weight is less
What fluid did you use??
I used Penrite HPSO full synthetic power steering fluid 👌
no need for a cooler?
I guess thats an option but I've seen this setup on larger cars, bigger wheels, semi slicks, drift setups etc and yet to see an astra setup with an additional cooler.. I think it maybe due to the sheer amount of fluid and the pumps ability to vary its flow/output electronically, heat isn't an issue 🤔
Remove the background music, it's too annoying and too loud to hear your voice.
Too loud hey. I edit with speakers, do you use headphones by chance? I'll have a listen to the video again and change up my equalizer settings 👍 Cheers for the feedback mate
What year or years astra pump did you use?
Not sure on the year of the models but your after a Holden Astra TS power steering pump 👌
Pretty sure 1998-2003. 👌
