Design your ultimate driving experience with our EPAS Custom Build Electric Power Steering Conversion Kit. This versatile system provides modern, adjustable power steering, allowing you to tailor the feel and performance to your specific project, ensuring smooth and effortless control.
Why Upgrade to Electric Power Steering for Your Custom Build?
Swapping to electric power steering offers significant advantages over traditional hydraulic systems, making it an ideal choice for any custom vehicle:
-
No Pump, No Fluid, No Leaks: Simplify your engine bay and eliminate common failure points. EPAS does away with the need for a bulky hydraulic pump, fluid reservoir, and messy hoses, ensuring a cleaner setup and no fluid leaks.
-
Reduced Engine Drag: Unlike hydraulic systems that constantly draw power from your engine, our electric system only activates when assistance is needed. This means more of your engine's power is sent directly to the wheels, potentially improving your vehicle's performance and efficiency.
-
Dynamic Assist When You Need It: The system intelligently activates only when you're turning, providing substantial power assistance at low speeds (perfect for parking or tight maneuvers) and a firmer, more connected feel at higher speeds. This intelligent design gives you the best of both worlds – effortless control and enhanced road feedback.
-
Fully Adjustable Feel: An integrated adjustable potentiometer empowers you to fine-tune the level of steering assist to perfectly match your driving style and vehicle's demands. Dial in maximum assist for comfortable daily driving, or reduce it for a more performance-oriented feel.
-
Reliable & Maintenance-Free: Electric systems are built for durability and require virtually no maintenance. They're also less prone to wear compared to their hydraulic counterparts, meaning more time enjoying your custom build and less time on upkeep.
What's Included in the Kit:
This comprehensive conversion kit provides the essential components for your custom application:
- An electric motor unit that delivers robust steering assistance.
- All the necessary mounting hardware for a secure and straightforward installation.

How It Works: Intelligent & Customizable Power
Our EPAS system uses a sophisticated computer to measure the amount of effort you apply to the steering wheel. An integrated electric motor then amplifies this effort, providing immediate and accurate power assist. The included adjustable potentiometer puts you in complete control, allowing you to customize the amount of assistance. For example, you can enjoy maximum power assist while in a parking lot, and less on the highway. The system is also highly efficient, activating only when you're turning.
