I had the electronic power steering (EPS) from a Civic Si installed in my car today. Here are a couple pix:



Josh (drivetofast) did the install. Highly recommended!

Well.... having driven the Si, I hated the EPS, but something is better than nothing..... why did you originally pull the HPS?
This may/may not be good to know for K swappers... it saves the hood wacking step for the pump.

electric power steering rack

all applicable wiring harnesses
From what I observed, you simply:
remove the hydraulic power steering rack
install the electric power steering rack
"splice-in" certain wires to the ECU
run a constant power feed

Re: EPS Install
Hey guys,
I just bought a 2006 Honda Civic Si with flood damage.
And the power steering was not working on it. Brought it to a dealer and they had me replace Steering Rack, and Steering Wire Harness.
And guess what, after spending $2K on it the steering is still not working.
Any idea what else could be damaged by water to make the power steering not work? They said the EPS module is working fine. Do you think I should still go for it and replace EPS? Can I do it myself or it requires a re-programming once replaced with a new one?
Dealer said, the ECU is not giving any error codes even with the steering not working and EPS connected. Any suggestions on this greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Mr. K
