- In this video I remove all the factory mustang steering components and install an electric steering column from a Toyota Prius with a manual steering rack. This video I cover all of the wiring and fabrication needed to install into my 1994 Mustang.
EPS: Toyota Prius
Controller: Inductive Autoworks
Steering Rack: Unisteer Manual Rack

Love your mods Mann! You're thinking out of the box. Not that it's novel but it's continual and gets you results.... Great work
Thanks. I want to try different stuff. Not everything may work out but won't know unless I try.
@@RinerAutomotive your wife, if I'm not mistaken, is getting Fast!
Thanks Stephen. This will certainly help the Coyote or Ecoboost swap folks if they choose to avoid hydraulics altogether.
Ah for sure. That's a good point.
I’m glad you do these video because I didn’t know anything about the Prius steering. I have a Volvo pump in my F100 and built my own controller for how much pressure I want but this seems way easier to do. Will have to finish the video now to see how much room is in there for this setup
Thanks. I looked into the Volvo pump but decided it wasn't right for me and what I do with the car. I'm hoping I can get the tuning figured out with the Prius column to work great for racing. The Saturn Vue is the other commonly used electric column. I believe it's rotated opposite of the Prius so maybe one of them will work for you.
Hell yeah pretty slick work@
Thanks
How did the ratio change work out? I just had a Golf R steering rack put in the Alltrack and it dropped from almost 3 turns lock to lock (linear) to just less than 2 turns lock to lock variable. Steering ramps up dramatically as you transition through 1/4 turn to 1/2 turn of the wheel. Will be wonderful at Autocross, my arms won’t be all crossed up anymore while trying to hit the paddle shifters.
I saw you just did that. I'll have to get more seat time before I know for sure but theoretically it should help. I'm now just over 2 turns lock to lock.
@@RinerAutomotiveWoot!
Very interesting, I wonder how it will feel, I hated my EPS on the 9th Gen civics I owned
That's the thing, every car is going to be set up different and have different EPS tuning. S550, Toyota 86, rx8 and many others have electric steering and are known to be great handlers
@@RinerAutomotive it wasn't the handling that I disliked, it was the non existent feedback, but this was a Honda
Ah gotcha. Yea that could be alignment as well as how the EPS is programmed.
