[@jimmyallen8210]

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?

[@FabbinAdventures]

Nope, i welded it straight on, made sure it was straight and running true first.

[@jimmyallen8210]

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?

[@FabbinAdventures]

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

[@jimmyallen8210]

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.

[@FabbinAdventures]

I cant remember if it spun freely ot not, sorry im not much help

[@travism9264]

Great work! Thanks for sharing your fitment process. I really like that you were able to do this without having to buy anything else.

[@FabbinAdventures]

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!

[@MetalMarcial]

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!

Glad you got value from my video! Thanks for the comment!

[@norcoredneck]

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!

[@jamess662]

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.

[@FabbinAdventures]

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!

Bom dia Fabian, tenho um samurai e quero adaptar essa direção elétrica, qual veículo foi retirado esse sistema? Obrigado.

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.

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

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

[@FabbinAdventures]

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!

[@pabloguzman9501]

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?

[@FabbinAdventures]

Ive had alot of people ask for this, and i may start making the bracket for sale. Stay tuned. Thanks for watching!

[@benjaminmcmichael9227]

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?

[@FabbinAdventures]

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!

[@levineuschwander8610]

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?

[@FabbinAdventures]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video. My eps came with all the plugs needed. Sorry im not much more help Thanks for your comment!

[@topstring74]

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?

[@FabbinAdventures]

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.

[@Vadasz86]

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

[@FabbinAdventures]

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!

[@haroldsegur9524]

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!

[@FabbinAdventures]

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!

[@haroldsegur9524]

@@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.

[@FabbinAdventures]

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.

[@evolution0016]

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?

[@FabbinAdventures]

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!

[@patrickarter8625]

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.

[@FabbinAdventures]

"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!

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.

[@FabbinAdventures]

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.

[@scottsnider3511]

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.

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.

hello I was interested in your video I wanted to know which steering box you used if of a Fiat Punto or an Opel?

[@larryjavier6033]

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

[@FabbinAdventures]

i cant guarantee anything, but you shouldnt have any trouble

[@GB-wu3gj]

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!

[@FabbinAdventures]

No, mine seems to center fine, never had any troubles with it. Thanks for watching!

[@wpdesilva]

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.

[@FabbinAdventures]

Thanks for your comment!

[@GB-wu3gj]

@@wpdesilva What is a steering damper you mention? Can you point to time in Fabbian's video where you see steering damper?

[@wpdesilva]

@@GB-wu3gj Please check on 10.26. can you see a red colour cylindrical part under the vehice which is just like a shock absorber. That's what called a steering damper.

How does your 1.6 fit? Did you have to mount your airbox differently?

[@FabbinAdventures]

It fit just fine, i made my own airbox, check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHy1ZnWkm9NoipY

[@marcosenteno5780]

Any chance you would know or still remember the length from end to end?

[@FabbinAdventures]

Oh not a chance..lol i can hardly remember what i did last week sorry.

[@MaryPlayzROBLOX.]

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

[@FabbinAdventures]

Definitely look at this option, it will be way cheaper!

[@libofticktock1741]

Did you have to upgrade your alternator to accommodate the extra power needed?

[@FabbinAdventures]

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!

[@toyota4x4canadaguy]

Is the unit sealed or will it likely die when I take her for a drink? Even not doing deep water crossings it will still see lots of water and mud.

[@FabbinAdventures]

Well i think you definitely want the ecm somewhere where i wont get wet, but i think the drive unit should be ok...maybe

[@Han_Onkel]

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!

[@FabbinAdventures]

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!

[@j.rmonreal4782]

What time of steering do you have? Is it stock steering or hi steer?

[@FabbinAdventures]

Its high steer from trail tough.

[@sachinnavod548]

Will it return back to center the steering with this setup ???

[@FabbinAdventures]

It should

[@jasgap]

Will something like this work on a land cruiser with 38s?

[@FabbinAdventures]

I think it would be a little too light duty for 38s, especially in rocks or deep mud

[@ronniecoleman6888]

Where did you get your power steering sytem from i heard ebay but not a specific vehicle it cam off of

[@FabbinAdventures]

Off of e-bay, 2009 toyota prius. I say it right in my power steering video. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@user-zx2rd7nb7w]

Hi Over time an electric power steering works well?

[@FabbinAdventures]

Yes i have had it for over a year now and zero problems.

[@cobusvanniekerk83]

What tipe of electric steering rack can I use for a beetle?

[@FabbinAdventures]

No idea man! Possibly the same thing depends how much room you have. Thanks for watching!

[@suzukisamurai9362]

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

[@FabbinAdventures]

Thats a good question man, they run perfectly quiet!

[@suzukisamurai9362]

@@FabbinAdventures yeah they do and that's the only problem I have left I want to try it out before installing it

[@FabbinAdventures]

Maybe you could mount it in a vice and try it powered and unpowered with some resistance on the driven side?

[@suzukisamurai9362]

@@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

[@FabbinAdventures]

Hmm, well man, i dont know. Im not really any good with electrical stuff, if it dont work im at a loss usually. Sorry.

[@freem5216]

Did you add a fuse going from the battery to the ecm? And if so what size?

[@FabbinAdventures]

Yes i did, i would have to check as i dont remember the size. Im guessing a 50A. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@maciasrick454]

Which particular EPS unit did you buy off eBay?

[@FabbinAdventures]

If you watched the video, i say which one and there is a slide in with print saying 2009 toyota prius, but you may have missed it. Thanks for watching Fabbin Adventures!

[@necili1]

👍👍

[@k-jplinkster1245]

How water proof are they? Like Would you cross a river with a unit like this? This seems like the answer tho!

[@FabbinAdventures]

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.
