- In this video I am going to be installing a Veloster N electric power steering system into my 1994 Subaru WRX (GC8) It is incredible how simple this mod is for how much it improves your driving experience!
If you want to support our builds we just made a whole bunch of new merch!

We are building the worlds first 3 wheel drive motorcycle first episode is live now

Thanks for watching:)
Thanks for watching the video, I would highly recommend looking into this upgrade it is awesome!
I would highly recommend safety glasses.
Hey man. You want a 700cc Yamaha jet ski motor and intake? I offered it to Edwin a while back but he never got back to me. It's from a 98 Yamaha wave venture. Runs great and I have all the important pieces. And totally free I want to see it go to good use and I also want it out of my yard 😂
John boat build??
@MrBryce0 please say that will takes this, would be awesome to see what he could do with it
@@krisjames3984 safety squints in full effect hehe
@@MrBryce0 yes we would love that!
The wrench tapping was great 😂
i like how your still wearing a GHPC shirt
i was about to comment, still rocking the GHPC shirt xD
Hi greetings from Germany
I Like that too 😊
Hi Will and his Team 😉👍🏻 keep going on all good Projects !!!
They're still mates ^^
@@pendragon6207 well yeah, ofc they are, but it's just kinda nice to see him wearing their shirt
@@GT_1506 pendragons point is a simpler version of - A lotta people got b00tyhurt cuz he left GHPC to start his own channel. Those so called fans & supporters basically shunned him & assumed the absolute worst. They don't think people are allowed to do their own thing & have their own life & still be friends with people they became friends with. They don't think people can leave on good terms with people & simply be. In lamens terms, People Are R3t@rded. But I guess you cant blame em cuz r3t@rds don't kno they're r3t@rded.
that ain't no ugly machine
man you've grown so much
For all considering this upgrade, some notes- the part Will takes off at 1:55 is fine, but the part it is removed from is where the electronics exist. The shaft he removed it from is pinned to the shaft that exits the other side of the assembly. There is a torsion spring within that shaft to allow movement between the steering input and the motor assisted output. There are sensors within the aluminum housing that measure the amount of deflection and calculate how much force is being applied and determines how much assist is needed for a given scenario. Also, this system will work as a standalone part, meaning just provide power and ground and it will work as shown in the video. The only other connection is CAN which is how it would communicate with the other systems in the car it was removed from. Without vehicle speed input on the CAN it will default to a "good enough" assist level. It will feel a little firm at slow speeds and a little light at high speeds. This may or may not matter depending on the car it's being installed into. Be safe. Have fun!
I see a BUM, I watch the BUM. I am the BUM

@@JarnDrives 😂
@@Bummotorsport glad you guys are doin yo thang and you don't have to drive 3 hours to do it!! 👏 ♥
6:27 the ol wrench tap trick haha 😂 love it.. also I can immediately see so much improvement in the handling of that car.. looks so much smoother and looks like it drives so much easier than before
Just gotta say, I support everyone’s growth that was once associated with GHPC. Y’all are ALL amazing people. When I watch any of the old crew I feel like I’m watching my childhood friends do allllll the things we tried doing but were too poor to 😂😂 keep killin it out there and DREAMCHASING
I don't own a Subaru or particularly want one but I'll sure watch a video of Will and the gang messing with one. Keep up the fantastic work, BUM Crew!
They're actually fairly easy to work on, aside from jobs like head gaskets, folks usually pull the engine for that job (also easy)
Yeah, it's cool to see mods done on the cheap and with high effect vs. effort!
Would be cool to see more of it as well as the other bonkers content 😂
man i wish they weren't like 15 grand for the shittiest legacy wagon imaginable around here
edit: nvm i found a working subaru legacy for 650 bucks
Love the GHPC work shirt!
Paying good homage to the boys 🫶🏽

truuuuue
@@1954shadow hey I like that!
@@Bummotorsport it’s yours!
broooooo i can feel the front mount coming ;)
You made it! Perfect Audio! Also the levels are great this time !
@@MegaBull10 thank you! Thanks for the help
Pretty awesome, low buck upgrade!! Great job, Will!!
that’s a pretty nice button up!!!
The way you drive this Subaru is making me like the little guy love it. Keep it up favorite grind hard to bum you tuber
ghpc shirt, offroad build, dirt roads, seems like you like that dirt life after all lol
Sometimes definitely keeps me out of trouble
Also dig the fact that Will is wearing a grind hard shirt. Hopefully we get some collabs in the future.
I liked the secret ending, fun lil preview of whats to come like watching anime on cable.
I hope this channel blows up! Great job guys
Hope it gets bigger than grind hard. They lost their best man.
I saw your sticker on a car in Seaside CA the other day
Ah-haa, a fellow Zynner! Stuff's great, I haven't had a cigarette in like 4 years. Electric power steering is a great upgrade, especially on a rally car, but anything with a focus on power can benefit from eliminating parasitic losses from the belt drive system.
If you end up doing any custom projects with electronic controls and need help, hit me up. I do all sorts of electronic control systems and am putting a channel together to get some more interesting custom work outside of like factory automation. Basically I program ECUs for everything else but engines. EECUs; everything else control units.
Commenting to help the algorithm. I liked you where you were before and I like you here. There's some guys in Ireland. Where I'm from who made a go kart but made an ae86 body. Could be a interesting build. Keep up the awesome work. Can't wait for five years time when you dropping a 911 turbo engine into a brz.
Got my #90 bum shirt! Love you guys
This was an interesting watch. Ive never heard of someone upgrading an old subaru ps system to electric.
Ive actually heard people complain about the lack of feedback in newer electric ps systems.
I myself prefer traditional ps, as it feels less twitchy and i like having weight in the steering wheel.
Good work guys, keep it up!
honestly, i hope this channel never starts to look very professional and high production value because the charm it has right now is awesome i love it
Love the videos and im glad you went back to making sketchy but fun builds 🤘
excelent men muchachoooooooooooo!!!!!!!
Long time ghpc suscriber from nz but for sure kerping up with the bums now 👌❤ also own a 1996 wrx ra...keep the vids coming
You are one of the channels that have inspired me to start my channel. i hope that you keep up the good work and i cant wait to see all your future projects.
That’s awesome to hear man love your videos so far keep it up:)
Awe shoot.🥰 using them products!
yoo randall thymes shirt 🔥
That's a 2 door subaru! Damn son!
music to voice volume was much better. my ears thank you so much lol amazing content keep up the great work.
Young dumb and bum should be the motto lol PS love from Arkansas!!!!
This is a great idea, I had an 02 WRX and blew up at least 7 PS pumps, they suck.
I love the new outro music! Also watching you rip around at the end of the video is making me want to go take my quattro down a dirt road 😎 keep up the great work!
Keep um coming
I think that "4-wheels's-motorcycle" must turn three wheels at the same time. That will be more interesting for sure
Great to the point video. BUM life makin moves
My ONE CENT, my CRITIQUE, my UNPROFESSIONAL opinion is, to. Make longer videos. WE. WANT. MORE. I'm waiting for your videos to come out and get excited and then sad when I see a 10 min video. Gimme 25, 30 mins at least, please 🙏🏽 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Budget upgrades are awesome, when they work. 💯
I built my Impreza for off roading and the electric power steering would do a lot to take away the steering wheel movement from hitting logs and rocks and holes. I've never thought of doing it before. Good idea. Plus mine is leaking like a bitch even after replacing the seals and the whole pump. I might have to do this.
Fun to watch, as usual! You seem to make anything interesting ^^
Bummmmmmmm yessir
I never really liked Will at GHPC much but this channel holds up on it's on pretty well. Keep at it.
Bum life 🤙🏼
Will couldn't help it, he still loves the dirt life!!!!!
I find it interesting how you seem.... calmer? saner? on this channel than you did on Grind Hard. Is that just the editing or are you toned down here?
so i spent an hour or two arguing with chatGPT , the best i got was saying:
me:
`umm so it turns out, hydraulic systems are very expensive... what if my body did the articulation. maybe my feet are on the front half and my torso is on the back half? would that work?? BTW it's only a 3 hp clone petrol motor powering the drive wheel/s.
/ChatGPT
Memory updated
If you're considering using your body to control the articulation of the motorcycle, that could be a creative and cost-effective solution, especially given the small 3 horsepower motor you're using. Here’s how that might work:
1. Body-Controlled Articulation
Foot and Torso Positioning:
Design the motorcycle so that your feet are firmly planted on footpegs or platforms attached to the front section. Your torso would be on a seat connected to the rear section.
The connection between the two sections should allow for some degree of independent movement, with the pivot point located around the midsection of the bike.
Leverage and Balance:
As you lean your body, you would naturally apply force to either the front or rear section, causing the bike to articulate. This would require a finely balanced pivot mechanism that allows for smooth, controlled movement without needing too much force.
Consider adding a damping mechanism (like a spring or elastomer) to the pivot to provide some resistance, making the articulation more controlled and less sensitive to small movements.
Pivot Mechanism:
The pivot could be a simple bearing or hinge that allows the front and rear sections to move independently. The design should be such that your body movements are enough to control the articulation effectively.
The articulation should be limited to a reasonable angle to prevent over-articulation, which could cause instability.
2. Steering and Control
Handlebar Connection:
The handlebars would still be connected to the front section, allowing you to control the direction as usual. The articulation would assist in turning, much like how a rider leans into turns on a conventional motorcycle.
The handlebars could also influence the articulation slightly if connected to a mechanical linkage that adjusts the pivot angle based on steering input.
Foot Control:
Your foot position could provide additional control over the articulation. For example, pressing harder with one foot could help initiate or enhance the articulation, similar to how riders use foot pressure to influence motorcycle lean.
You might also add foot-operated controls, like foot pegs that pivot or slide, to give more direct control over the articulation.
3. Powertrain and Simplicity
Single-Drive Wheel: Given that you're using a 3 hp clone petrol motor, it’s practical to power only the rear wheel. This simplifies the drivetrain and reduces the complexity of your build.
The rear wheel, being powered, would drive the motorcycle, while the front wheel would be more for steering and stability.
Lightweight Design:
Focus on keeping the overall weight of the motorcycle low. A lighter build will make it easier to control the articulation with your body.
Using lightweight materials like aluminum for the frame and minimizing unnecessary components will help.
4. Testing and Adjustment
Initial Testing: Start with a basic mock-up or prototype to test the body-controlled articulation. See how much force is required to achieve the desired movement and adjust the pivot mechanism accordingly.
Safety Considerations:
Ensure that the pivot mechanism is robust enough to handle the forces involved and that the articulation is smooth and predictable.
Consider wearing protective gear during initial tests to ensure safety while you fine-tune the articulation and handling.
5. Practical Challenges
Balance and Control:
Controlling articulation with your body will require practice, especially in maintaining balance while moving at different speeds.
You might need to experiment with different pivot placements and resistances to find the best setup that works with your body movements.
This approach would allow you to build a unique articulated motorcycle using simple mechanics and your own body weight for control, all while keeping costs down. It's a creative solution that still allows for the dynamic movement and handling characteristics you're looking for.

hope this helped! i look foreword to seeing what the hell you're going to do with a 4 wheedled motorcycle :)
I think I saw that car on FB north idaho driving gripes page lmao
😂😂
Glad to see another video such a awesome channel 🎉🎉🎉
Glad you enjoy it!
She's getting so much better at this RUclips thing😊
awesome upgrade...and honestly it doesn't matter what the upgrade is..could be anything from the switches the seats electrical or mechanical it is always the same feeling of satisfaction...
its not an upgrade
Commenting for the algorithm!
Thats a awesome wrx,always loved them 2 doors
Keep up the hard work bud. Happy that you are doing your own thing. I have faith that you will do well. Stay safe man!
@@DDCgarage thank you! means a lot I’m grateful to have people who support my vision.
Will - you inspire me - so much so that I have this upcoming mini-project for in my Subaru Forester. And yeah... It has something to do with my Electric Drift-Kart. :D
RUclips sucks bro. Bum videos are slipping further and further down my recommended. I'm worried I won't see these anymore. I watch like every time they show it to me

i have a buddy building a 1000hp gc8 i am now going to show this to him lol maybe he will do it
Make the 4 wheel bike turn all the tires. Or make it pivot with 2 and 2.
Great technical video! Glad it worked out.
In B.U.M. We Trust 🚙
Love the suabru content building an 08 legacy gt rn would be sick to see one of those on the channel
Bro... my subaru has electric hydro steering factory.. from 1988.. 😀 lol
I Can’t wait for the caterpillar motorbike
Love the Hoodies ❤
Thanks!
GHPC shirt. Sad to see you part ways.
I wanna see you ride that Ninja! Is that a ZX6? ZX10? Couldn't tell from this video... but I'd love to bring my '23 ZX10 and come ride with you! ;D
Keep it up 🤙
Love the subaru content! Have a 2011 sti hatch I'd love to have this done.
Oh man those are awesome cars!
It's strange Will had a GHPC shirt on. I don't think is was a friendly exit from them. Why wasn't he present when they said he was gone ? Why didn't they let him take the Chang Lee & the Solo to finish on his channel ? The best thing they could do, would be to keep dropping the link to his channel, but they have never mentioned it.
Cool, love your guy's videos
Sick mod ! Might have to try for the forester when it goes 😂🤙👌🏻👌🏻
You should check the weight difference between the two steering kits, It would be interesting to see how much weight is gone. Also, I think just having 1 rear tire for steering isn't going to work too well, maybe you need 2/2 Otherwise its gonna steer like one of those tanks with the motorcycle front end. you guys should try to make a one-wheel motorbike next. No one has tried electric one wheel yet.
Nice!
Love the vids always here
Rotary motorcycle engine please. And BOOST
You do still have parasitic draw on the engine, you've just transferred it from the PAS pump to the alternator.
Yes and no. Certainly the alternator has a bit more load, but the electric power steering only takes power when it needs it whereas the hydraulic power steering pump is constantly pumping fluid around even when you don't need it. Furthermore the serpentine belt system is less efficient with each pulley added and increased belt length.
That’s why I love Subaru I had to get a transmission an it’s from a 2005 legacy fits a 2011 wrx
well, technically electric power steering still draws power from the engine but maybe its more efficient. only way to make sure engine horsepower isnt used on power steering at all is to completely delete it and use your human power steering heh
You need a shirt that says
Ah zachly 😂😂😂😂😂
Why can't will say that word?
I'm worried about the viability of the four-wheel motorcycle. With no suspension for the front three wheels you're going to have problems on anything but a flat surface. Personally, I'd make it run the other direction and power only the front tire. You could make it a cycle bus with loads of seating!
Bro as if you have a Subaru b22 this is one of my favourite cars dude
Yo fire
Can you guys do a rallycar build?
I want to compete one day definitely have plans to build something for dirtfish
Electric power steering does cause parasitic loss maybe not as much as hydraulic power steering but you are putting more load on the charging system so you do still get parasitic loss.
it does cause parasitic loss do to the massive amount of power it takes causes extra strain on the alternator also it will steer slower and handle worse
What belt did you have to use to delete the power steering pump?
Comment love frm CHI
Yep, look at me, lol 😂
dayum i got here early, keep buildin crazy shit guys🤙
@@TwistedEngineering thanks for watching! will do:)
Was the rack filled and capped first?
Does it return to center by itself? My kit sure didn't.
Just so you're aware, the tip of the flame is the hottest point so use that on your shrink
Can you make a crotch rocket with a side kart
Why is electric power steering better than hydraulic one? When I switched from Golf4 to Golf5, the first VW I drove with an electric power steering system, it felt a lot worse. Especially, the sensation of little bumps in the road was gone. Some people might like it, but wouldn't it be good to feel the road in a rally car?
Or was it just noise I felt, and electric is better even for rally cars?
Edit: Does he explain it at 8:40? In other words: If your system is broken, the electric version is an upgrade?
@@merkatorix I think for me at least it’s the response that the electric steering gives me also my hydraulic steering was destroyed and didn’t work anyway
What is subaru sponsored you guys
Don't stop
Looks like i got here just in time
