I know this was brought up in another thread but I can't seem to find it right now. Fran, I believe you pointed out some performance electric power steering options for the SL-C a while back and unfortunately it looks as though I forgot to save them. I wasn't able to find much with Google and I was hoping you could list them again. If anyone else remembers please let me know.

Thank you. That's not the thread I was looking for but there is some useful information there.
The ones I was able to find were:
Automotive Power Steering : Electric Power Steering Systems - EPS - Automotive & ATV Electric Power Steering Parts, EPS
Flaming River
Motorsports Electric Power Steering - Includes Motorsports EPAS, Standard ECU, and Wiring Loom - FR40105 - Electric Power Steering - Motorsport EPAS
I thought Fran posted a different one but I can't find it.

There is some information to be found on the f actory 5 forum. A controller, Toyota MR2 pump, and a 1990 ish power steering rack. Look for user name "crash".
The system we use is by DC electronics in the UK.....as its purely electric in line assist ,if it fails it defaults to a truly manual system, and as we use a stock SL-C manual steering rack its still has a normal SL-C feel.
I know the guys at Unisteer well and the system they sell is similar in concept but is not tunable on the fly and is not "man" enough for use on a motor vehicle....theirs is used primarily in off road ATV applications.

Ok, so you're running the Flaming River (DC Electronics Motorsport EPAS). Has it been a reliable system and did you have to pay $6,000 for it? I was looking at the DC Corsa options and the GM NSK systems but they all seem to have problems and as you mentioned are not tunable. Seems like DC is the only real option for a good EPAS system.
The MR2 power steering system isn't electric, it's hydraulic with an electric pump as far as I know.

MG TF vvc unit is speed variable lightweight electrical . The other unit (same motor as MG) that is common to use here in the UK is the GM Corsa B or C . They can all be found s/h for less than £100 and interface boxes with adjustment (pot) are about £30. I believe that Fiat also uses this unit on some models
There's an ALMS unit from KYB (controller and rack) on Ebay right now: KYB RACE EPS Electric Power Steering Rack and Control Unit. Spare from ALMS team | eBay
No connection to seller, just passing along the info.
