P1000 EPS Modify electric power steering for larger tires.

[Blaker3115]

So after installed bigger tires it got me noticing a little more effort in the steering wheel (of coarse there is!!) Theres more on the ground which in return needs more output from the steering wheel.

What if there was a way to fool the signal of the torque sensors within the eps system for it to think theres a higher value of torque being applied to steering wheel than their actually is?

I have ran across a website explaining how to do exactly this. Now, Im no electrical expert but do have some basic knowledge of pot sensors and their applications used. From what this site explained is that you can wire a pot sensor in between the eps ecu and the torque sensors to have control of the voltage of what it thinks its seeing and manipulate it to help the Electric motor to give more assist. Fine tuning it with just the knob or (stem) to get it dialed in.

Im thinking of giving this a shot. Im sure I will get lashed on this topic some, but i feel would be a badass mod to help us get that stock easy turning steering back after the modifications of lifts and bigger tires.

Been a few threads on the issue and another in the works.

Honda talon stiff power steering

At the dunes... Before relocating the ECU, I would rate it a 4 overall. Barely adequate with the occasional complete loss of assist to the point it was dangerous at times. After relocating the ECU, I would rate it a 9. Not perfect but damn close (and a LOT safer)! Hi Paul, Just curious if...

The other one. Granted this is for a Talon but uses the same equipment if u will and same issues.

SATV 400 Watt Universal Steering Kit Install

My large wire harness mod works good at eliminating the dangerous loss of assist in tight turn scenarios in dirt/trail/sand and helps somewhat with other issues but does not address the issues that some of us have on slower, hard surface conditions. I love to rock crawl and the paltry 210 watt...

IDK for sure but I thought the 22s have upgraded power steering. Maybe a direct swap? I could be totally wrong.

They do. But from what I was told and read (in the link to post #3) to even do it with A Talon and or Pioneer is a new wireing harness and a bunch of other $hit. Bassically a complete nightmare.

@PaulF fyi but not trying to draw you in.
