Lots of people asking about what 3D scanner I use. I made a video about it: • How To 3D Scan Your Car
So you want power steering on your old car and/or EV swap? The Toyota Prius is here to help.

Inverse power steering would just make the project the world's most overbuilt workout machine. I say run it that way and you won't have to title or register it because it's probably not illegal to drive a Bowflex.
Good one!
Ronald Finger strikes again! 🤣
Lol. I see you commenting on all the channels I watch. It's fine for me to waste this much time, but shouldn't you be spending that time making me more videos? Entertain me, dammit!
But imagine SuperFastMatt with Popeye's forearms for just a minute....
Love your work Ronald!
I'm totally okay with this sort of sponsorship that is quite clearly a genuine recommendation. Love your stuff Matt.
Just get the steering wheel you want. Then change it before installing it because you found another one you want more. you know, like a normal car person would...
All hail the mighty algorithm.
The sponsorship is perfectly integrated with this project. I hope SendCutSend continue to sponsor you because the way you go through custom parts I suspect you could showcase them on every video.
I didn't even realize that they were sponsors until this episode
Laughed to hard on the "it's not a tumoh"
I know you’re doing a crazy amount of work and thinking behind the scenes, but it’s insane to me how simple you make this seem, this is a really cool project
Matt - I'll just scan this and laser cut it.
Me - I'll just fabricate this... nope, shit. I'll just fabricate this... nope, shit. I'll just fabricate this...
When someone can make something like this seem easy, you know the REALLY know their s**t.
I've been a laser operator / light tech for 6 or 7 years now and I've always thought it was insane how much we charge for parts. Good to see an honest company bringing our lord and savior to the masses
I found you for the roof rack video (working on doing that for my highlander) but stayed for the sick engineering projects
All hail the algorithm!
I have no opinion of value, just my engagement. You may consider a steering quickener (1.5:1 inline gearing) now that you have power steering.
I swapped in a BMW rack that has a much quicker ratio than stock. It should be good this way.
The Jag had a traditional steering box, not rack-and-pinion. There's nothing of the original Jaguar Mk V steering system in this car, so it doesn't have the original ratio.
@@SuperfastMatt Tesla, Toyota and BMW in a Jag. Its the UN in your garage.
@@SuperfastMatt theres an anti theft idea. iether have a switch,to switch the output to input, or a switch to desconect 1 wire. no power,no turn. ?. just a thought.
Really enjoying this project
Also that ending about the garage killed me
I thought he was gonna say "awww yeee"
The Nardi Classic is the perfect wheel for this build!!!
I did not know that about the MR2 Spyder, and my Dad just recently got one so hey now I learned something about his car!
Read the comments in here from people that own or have owned one...the steering assist can get squirrely at speed on the Mk2 apparently...
@@JohnSmith-yv6eq My dad hasn't said he has any problems with it, he only praises the car. I've only driven it in a parking lot so far so I can't say for myself.
Sendcutsend is awesome! After you mentioned them in a previous video, I designed and had them cut an aluminum RC crawler chassis. Very cool they're sponsoring your video(s)!
Sendcutsend is great, ponoko is another alternative with more materials options
@@aygwm,thanks! I'll check them out!
4:53 I'm glad I'm not the only one who sits on the bare metal floor of a rusty car that doesn't run and looks up CZcams videos to make sure I'm doing things right hahaha
All hail the algorithm! My vote is for a banjo steering wheel. I think it fits better with the timeframe and type of car.
Agree with the steering wheel with holes does not look right with this car, but yeah, consider a banjo type.
Really enjoying your build, and thought processes. Looking forward to seeing what you have in mind for the next project.
Ahhh so the king of "Lets build another project while I'm doing this one" is here :) .. yeah it's always interesting seeing how in depth Matt's knowledge is with building things :D
Nice one Jeff!! You’re both legends!!
The algorithm demands more content...you gotta pump these numbers up...less shorts...more longs! Kudos from a diesel engineer.
You mean I've got to tell, literally, everyone I know about SuperfastMatt... again?
If you add a magnetic collar and hall sensor at the differential input flange, then connect the signal wire of the sensor to pin 5 on the D31 connector and 12V+ to pin 6, you will get speed sensitive assistance instead of just the failsafe assistance. You vary the speed at which the steering firms up by adding magnets at the diff collar. The unit will provide three steps of assistance.
This is super cool, thank you!
Excellent 👍
Do you know what year Prius this power assists works with?.
i love how sarcastic you are towards youtube algorithm and i think it's true. lol
We hope it doesn't get snark soon.
My grandfather was a strong man. Im not strong but i still enjoyed helping him with projects
He passed away the day after valentines day and left me his car
I can't use the manual steering and i need power steering. But he's not here to help me...
Even though i wasn't good at mechanics stuff, he was proud that i was like him in the aspect of tech
Your voice is so relaxing, I could watch you narrate a complete disassemble of the jaaag - all hail the algorithm!
Great content as always. Keep up the awesome work!
It’s nice when folks hawk the stuff they actually use and believe in. I’m so glad to find a good laser cutting service!
I've looked at a lot of these electric power steering conversions. Yours is one of the cleanest I've seen.
Totally addicted to SuperfastMatt. Each video has enough professional and well considered ideas behind it, with just enough “this will probably do” to make me think 🤔 “I could do that” 🤔 Keep the vids coming! 😄
Brother, you are hilarious! Really enjoy the vids!
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying them.
All hail the mighty algorithm
All hail
All hail
Sorry I'm late... HAIL!
Matt the Jaguar did actually have power steering and my late father's go to dad joke for this was always "Armstrong Power Steering" 🤦🏻♂️😅 Miss you Dad
I don't mean to get all sentimental here... but this last month has been some of the hardest days of my life, and I discovered your channel pretty much the day it all fell apart. I've been binge watching everything you've made, and you've taught me a lot in this time, but more importantly- you've helped me stay distracted and keep myself alive, and for that.. I'm thankful for you. I know this wasn't your intent, but I appreciate you, Matt. Thank you for being the genius you are, you're a gift to this world... and especially me.
Hey u good bro?
@@redneckswitwheels actually.. yeah, I'm doing far better now than I was this time last month. A lot has happened between then and now, and I'm genuinely happy, more than I ever thought I'd get to be. I got lucky with that, and I know it. I appreciate that you asked, that means a lot to me and says a lot about you with just a few short words.
I hope life is treating you well. Thank you.
@@steventoney8797 hey man... we..I have been thru hell and what I hated most was the feeling I was alone.. even a few kind words from a stranger would've helped. We all need a person to gaf about us..
Big thumb up from France, I like the way you explain technical things with humour !
Algorithmically speaking, I'd take a look at Banjo steering wheels, like the Flat Four.
most underrated channel !
I love your channel. This is the sort of stuff I want to do with my 37 Hudson.
i love the raw look of that dash without the wood on it
The more you mention your Honda four-wheeler, the more I miss my 71 Datsun I traded a $50 Craftsman tool box for. Just going the speed limit was fun if there was a yellow sign with a scribbly line on it.
This is my favorite series on CZcams right now
I am a 71 year old Graduate Mechanical Engineer with 62 years of experience restoring late 60's Ford Muscle cars. I am pretty smart! But damn boy, I ain't seen anything like you......
Honestly I love needlessly long silent wrench turning scenes, something very relaxing about that
Nardi wood wheel is always a classic.
I love your videos and enjoy seeing your fabrication processes. As a homebuilder who's a little over a year into an agonizingly slow Locost 7 build, your endorsement of Send Cut Send is very timely as I'm approaching the need for custom mounting solutions in my frame. Also, I had been planning on running a depowered steering rack, but may have to look into a Prius unit if I have space. Thanks for the fantastic content.

If you add a magnetic collar and hall sensor at the differential input flange, then connect the signal wire of the sensor to pin 5 on the D31 connector and 12V+ to pin 6, you will get speed sensitive assistance instead of just the failsafe assistance. You vary the speed at which the steering firms up by adding magnets at the diff collar. The unit will provide three steps of assistance.
Reverse power steering is for people who choose Ultra Hard difficulty in video games
Whenever I'm feeling overwhelmed by projects, seeing what you've undertaken makes me feel a lot better about my chances. I'm about to start an engine build, making a center diff controller from scratch, and about to start helping my mate build an electric motorbike. Should be a busy Christmas period
I never knew that about the Prius steering. Japan really turned a corner after the 50’s.
Watched this to escape from reality for a moment and accidentally learned a ton o’ stuff! The Send-Cut-Send option looks amazing and basically sends my imagination spiraling out of control!
Will be watching again because Superfast Matt not only thinks superfast, but also speaks superfast!
How have I not heard of the Prius steering motor used for this?! Great solution. Also, congrats on the sponsorship. Send Cut Send is fantastic. 👍🏼

Matt, keep it up! These videos are equal parts hilarious and informative. Really enjoy your style.
Prius electric column is pretty cool. My friend put it in his awd 600hp wv golf for autocross. It turns like butter

I think I need to go tell everyone about Matt.
Thanks for explaining how the Prius steering assist works. I always thought that conversions like that required calibrated steering angle sensors.

Another awesome schoolbook reference material I will keep returning to when I start converting my Jaguar X-Type... You, sir, are greater than life! Thank you so much for sharing all your useful wisdom!
Great logical thinking Matt, this project is going to be at another level so congratulations on your hard work and determination..
Beautiful fitment. Looks like a factory alignment between the booster and the power steering unit. Amazing as always.
BEAUTIFUL VIDEO! 50 years in fleet maintenance and 55 in loving mid '50's Fords. This electric power steering assembly and your link to "Send-Cut-Send" is GREAT! I want to custom fab an aluminum oil pan for a Ford Y-Block. The flange to bolt to the engine was stumping me as to the 'best' option. Thanks to your video, I think I've found the answer! Thanks!
Yay for the wheel, you might find something similar on mx5 na or nb .
The wheel you picked is perfect and I totally agree with your comments about the holes, they immediately envoke thoughts of 50s and 60s race cars to me
All hail the algorithm!
Loving this build and your commentary.
Also congrats on the sponsorship.
Nicely done. I used the Prius steering on my 1967 Mercury Cougar.
I use SCS all the time. Love their service. Nice job on the steering 👍
How have I not seen your channel before? I love it. Subbed.
A "non zero chance" lol, I bet you were fun to work with... you're such an engineer and I mean that in the most complimentary way :)
You can't imagine the timing of this vid. 😂
I'm just about to start building the streering column on my Standard and thought of building servo assisted, however didn't want to meddle in the hydraulics. Then I heard of electric servo, and now I'm browsing the interwebs for more info. This was juuust what I was looking for.
Cheers.
A four spoke steering wood rim steering wheel would look more period for that car as with the XK series, the MK 7,8 & 9s had four spoke wheels.
I'm in process of bingeing all the videos on your channel. Was going to wait to comment until I finished, but I just have to say I enjoy your videos for booth information and humor!
Great stuff my man. I agree with you on the raceyness(?) of the steering wheel. Thanks for sharing! All hail the algorithm!
Thanks, man. I'm in the process of putting power steering on a 49 Ford Shoebox. Lots of good information here. Keep it up.
Absolutely amazing, like always
Very nice, literally took the thoughts out of my mind on the additional brackets for the power steering motor/box assembly. Can't go wrong with a Nardi wheel but the Momo Heritage stuff is nice too,
What a great channel. I'm almost glad I was sick and staying home so I could find it.
That laser cutting service looks really interesting, thanks for sharing :)
Looks like this project is finally "steering" in the right direction.
I'm wheely excited to see how it _turns_ out.
I am a engineered and have built classic race cars the whole of my life but respect this guy he knows his stuff ,respect , although I’ve fitted similar systems to old large jaguar race cars
11:51 I was so glad to hear you say set screw! I was worried you'd be going down the road and that thing comes loose!! Well done sir!
What a great video. Such useful information! Rock on
"I'm, like, 80% sure this is a good idea."
You're thinking like a true engineer. 8)
I will definitely post this video on my Twitter page, Matt. Everyone who wants to advance the RIGHT TO REPAIR cause needs to become familiar with your brilliant videos.
Great video, this was the first one i watched from you. I subscribed
I am used to non powered steering and changed to hydraulic some time. When I changed to electric (Mitsubishi i-MiEV) I have outgrown all my shirts within a week. I have to actually turn the wheel all by myself until the power steering takes over. Turning slowly and meditatively I can actually steer non powered. Saves energy but I had to switch from shirts to sweaters or go topless.
“Watch me turn this wrench and use this screw driver” is my whole thing. ;)
I just found your channel by CZcams suggestion. I love your work.
Matt My overachiever. Excellent content and looking forward to more
Thank you for providing an informative, entertaining, Super Fantastic Jag build!!
First steering wheel you showed the Nardi. I've that on my Corolla really comfortable and nice feel to it I'd go for that one.
the very first thing I put on my 1974 BMW 2002 was a Nardi wheel I paid way too much for. I love it so much. Think about this: There's nothing in a car that gets touched more than the steering wheel. Make it great.
Why finish one project when you can just start another one, I always say. But maybe thats why I have 20 unfinished projects.
Man this is the second video I've watched that mentioned send cut send. Im going to have to check them out. And learn fusion 360
They are fantastic, been using them on my electric Vespa project
Buy a prusa 3D printer and you’ll have much more fun learning fusion 360
@@trahar6257 I have 3 printers. Just haven't learned fusion 360 yet. But I don't have a lot of time to devote. I work most of the time
You could laser cut and build your own steering wheel? That would be a great video for sendcutsend. I’d love to see the process to bend and laminate a steering wheel.
Great fab and brainstorm job Matt.
Great video 👍I like your choice of steering wheel and I learnt the Prius electric steering system is so usable!
is
Yesssss the Prius power steering thing is just really convenient.
That sponsor section was super nice, fits extremely well with your content.
Glad i learned something new today. Great mecanic
That pic of the honda is great. The rusted body and led headlights combo is as cool as it can get. I'll use a corolla's powered column on my 80's shitbox soon.
Hi from Australia! Love your stuff mate, always a great blend of info and no gratuitous wrench-turning video-lengthening shots. But seriously, awesome work! Now I just need to blow up... uh... I mean... find a wrecked Prius.
For Prius system...

Thank you for posting this video information your the king of cool custom vehicle builds .
Impressive, like your work!
You could use a “banjo wheel”. The 30’s 40’s packards had them. The mix of stainless and wood might match up nicely with the jag.
Using this to help with a stubborn engine swap. great video!
You should use a flight yoke so your car can be more like Knight Rider! These are great videos. Thanks for sharing this.
Im only now watching this and I wanted to add a remark to the steer by wire section. Steering is safety critical for some reason (people don’t seem to enjoy hitting walls, pedestrians or other cars) and given its FMEA classification it’s an ASIL level D system. Depending on how they design and decompose the system components you’ll probably end up with a triple redundant system. Which seems expensive but it means you still no longer need the steering column and if you increase the redundancy you can then use components that have a lower safety level classification (e.g ASIL B instead of D) which are orders of magnitude cheaper to develop and produce.
So amusingly increasing the redundancy will actually reduce the complexity and cost of the resulting system
I had to pause this at 3:20 just now. You said exactly what I was thinking. The moment you mentioned the drive-by wire force feedback, I was thinking about how cool it will be when they're in the junk yards and I can get one for making a racing rig.
