/Hi, can you explain how you found the pin-out for the connector, and more on the sensitivity switches. How they work and why you needed to order them ? Were they just not included with the unit that you purchased, or were the ones that came with the unit too or not enough sensitive? How did you hook them up? How can you adjust the sensitivity on a unit that came out of a doner car ?
I admire your tenacity and ingenuity! I was thinking of doing a similar swap, but after seeing what was needed to get the column prepared, it's a little out of my league. Think I'll buy a kit. Thanks for the great video regardless! Cheers mate!
Mine reaches close to the pedals so I might need to shorten the top end like you did. But mine has a tilted connection in between. Do you think this is still doable?
Great video, especilly disassembling!! I'm from Germany and I have the same type of EPS in my 22 years old Opel car. Works great, but no more in winter when it's cold outside: Then the EPS often turns off itself. OBD-Code says: "torque sensor range not plausible". The small wheel of the sensor runs in the groove of the axis. May be this is a Problem of too old lubricant on the axis (a special white teflon-like lubricant) ?? The EPS is from 1999 and has more than 150.000 miles... Is it possible to put some new lubricant onto the axis touch the mounting hole of the sensor? What do you think?? ❔❔🤔 I have two complete EPS steerings in reserve, but it is not so easy to change the complete unit in my model. It would be a lot of work. 😭😭 Best Regards Thomas
Great video. Very useful as I'll be doing this to my v8 swapped Porsche 924, the original column is a VW part from the same period just a different length.
Hello i have done the same Conversation to my car and i bought the same sensitivity switch, but when i turn the steering left, its way easier than when i turn it right, what should i do, any infos? Thanks!
Thanks for good vid and great steering conversion. I am doing the same thing on my bug but I am still loooking for column. Can u please advise on sensitivity switch. How do u hook it up and how does it work. Can u please do a small video on that and also show how you connect all wires for electric steering to work. Cheers
It is very nice. I want to apply it to my suzuki samurai vehicle, I would appreciate it if you inform me how to do the electrical scheme or connection.
how do I connect gm electric power steering wires, just like yours but it doesn't have the conctores so I don't know where or what to call! você pode me ajudar?
@@BelgiCE i still don't know how to connect the wires and i ended up burning the module of the steering doluna if you can help me what sapp is +55 88 996341591 if u can help me give thanks now!
Nice work! Thinking of doing that myself but i worry that the motor will simply not fit as im stuffing it in a mini lmao. Need to find something more compact!
I enjoyed the video, I only wish the audio was as good as the video. Mostly I couldn't understand what you were saying. Maybe a bluetooth mic would improve the sound quality. Cheers.
Haha, thanks?! Glad you enjoyed the video, audio is trickier than video to sort as we get lots of background noise from the dust extraction, generally bad acoustics in the workshop, plus Mat's broad Northern accent doesn't help! The channel is very much a work in progress at the moment and we're still figuring stuff out as we go but audio is at the top of the list to sort out when we can afford to.
@@RotboxMetalworks thanks for your reply . i have a nissan electric power steering that i would like to fit on a vw polo 6 n , but i am worried about the high speed protection . if you have an idea ?
As always great video. I’m guessing the sensitivity switch will be flicked on and off manually ? Also the hight I’d the steering wheel is just what ever your convertible at ? Rather than using measurements from another caddy. Really enjoyed the video . Savage conversion
Steven Harper cheers. The sensitivity side of it is done by a knob so you can set it to the heaviness you prefer. You can get a control box that changes the heaviness automatically depending how fast you’re going but I’ve used this type before so thought I’d get the same again. The steering wheel position is set to where it originally was
Great stuff, reminds me of hybridding column for my morris minor with an mgf, full working airbag in that and everything. Would mg epas control box work with yours?
Thanks for the comment! Haha, I have no idea tbh 😅 I know there's lots of different ways people do this, we had this similar setup on another vehicle and no issues so decided to give it a go!
Amigo, tu video huviese quedado perfecto si mostraras en un diagrama la instalacion electrica, señalando la funcion de cada cable y como se debe instalar el potenciometro, como hacer funcionar correctamente la direccion electronica asitida, la parte mecanica cualquiera la puede hacer, no se necesita mucha ciensa, finalmente pesimo video. buscate una abeja y sumbate. ja ja ja, mas bien eres muy mamon....
Not doable in mercedes benz ...w126 1982 MODELS...,2NDLY ANY ONE KNOW THE AIR CONDITION COMPRESSOR AC MOTOR CONVERSTION WHICH INCREASES THE ENGINE POWER AND SOUND TOO
If you have no power steering at all than this is an improvement at lower speeds say below 50kph. But electric power steering on higher speeds can be really sh't. I have it in my latest car. Newest car I have ever owned and the most expensive but the steering is the worst I have ever had in any car. Even a 1990's Mitsubishi Colt had better steering. Driving in a straight line at 60+kph is just so disappointing with electric power steering.
But it's not a GM part! It's just a part made for a GM vehicle. Most parts aren't made by the VM's they are made For them by aftermarket companies such as Valeo, lucas, zf etc etc VM's build the vehicles and design the vehicles.

hands down best intro on the RUclipss, hilarious
you guys are a riot, love the videos, always something new and different, not the same old caddy mods everybody else is doing
Thanks so much! Haha, we try and keep it fresh, happy to know someone likes it! 😅👍
Mate your channel should grow to 100k+ subscribers! People can learn from your work. What a nice team with your partner! Keep making videos ;)
Where can i get the sensitivity switch from?
Knocked it out the ballpark once again!! Awesome work
Cheers dude!

Just buy a big hammer ⚒️⚒️⚒️😱
Thanks for the info guy, i will be attempting the same on my golf 1 with corsa c column
sensitivity adjuster switch? Thats cool and I'm doin it cause of that.
Hi there. Can you send a link to the sensitivity switch you used?
Did you check to see if the dashboard will still fit over the column motor?
Very good work
Hi. Can you do VW T3 electric power steering conversion please?
Pure genius. Also like the way you use hacksaw blades in your reciprocating air saw. Need to do that myself!
Cheers! Those blades are way cheaper, the proper ones turn easier when you're going round bends though.
How to you control the level of assistance for different speeds?
Mine reaches close to the pedals so I might need to shorten the top end like you did. But mine has a tilted connection in between. Do you think this is still doable?

Very good metal worker ...and good cineaste! Yep!
It's a pleasure to look your video , every time !
Continue !!!!!!! merci
Thank you very much!
do you have a link for the sensor module?

Really nice video. It’s helped me quite a bit for a VW T25 conversion I am doing at the moment.
Hello dear can you please tell me the name of the adapter please 🙏
Amigo muchas gracias por su atención estas direcciones se le pueden adactaar a un fiat 124 esport??
Questions do you leave the hydraulic box as is

thats MEGA. There's some head scratching gone into that!
Haha, cheers! They're certainly was, only a small part of the head scratching made it into the video...😅
Love the stuff y’all are doing!! You really are doing the dream build!
Thanks so much!
Hello
It is very nice. I want to apply it to my suzuki samurai vehicle, I would appreciate it if you inform me how to do the electrical scheme or connection.
Im a bit late to the game, but can someone tell me something about that sensetivity switch?
hey guys. silly question. accelerator and brake pedal?😅
how do I connect gm electric power steering wires,
just like yours but it doesn't have the conctores so I don't know where or what to call!
você pode me ajudar?
Hi Im reading your comment and I do have same question, I wonder if you already find the answer? Can you tell me if you know?

I want to buy a VW passat 1990 diesel, from a friend in good condition and upgrade to electric steering. any advice ?
Where did you get the control module from
Love Videos you do !
Can you please tell What year corsa colum you can use ?
Nice work! Thinking of doing that myself but i worry that the motor will simply not fit as im stuffing it in a mini lmao. Need to find something more compact!
get on from late model mini there small
@@fredjones1238 i ended up fabbing up some mounts and made a nissan versa column fit. Works a treat!!
Where did you get the steering column...
Como hiso la coneccion eletrica
Can you explain the wiring I'm stuck
"anything is doable" I like that! Words of a fabricator haa
Haha, you know it 😎👍
Buen trabajo hermano saludos desde Temperley argentina
where did you source the control box and how does it work? Nice work by the way...got me to subscribe!
Look on ebay for seller bruno_steering. Cheers!
Nice job!
Clio mk3 may have been a better option.?
I love this conversion, it kick ass.
Cheers!

hi , how to connect the electrical wires and the highspeed protections ?
We haven't got to that bit yet, we'll be doing a video on the wiring soon!
