What is the peak amperage draw of an electric power steering pump?
Typically EPAS systems draw 10-20 amps in normal driving, and can draw as much as 100 amps for a few milliseconds on a large steering input. It's important to have a stout electrical system in place before installing an EPAS system. We recommend a minimum 160 amp output alternator.
The PSC itself draws less than 1 amp.
If you're building your own harness, it's recommended to run minimum 8awg wire for both the ground and power with an 80 amp fuse or circuit breaker. Keep the wiring as short as practical, and ensure connections are of high quality.
Our kits come with the correct wiring size and type. They are designed to be ran directly to battery, or to a source with a direct connection to battery. Powering the motor or pump off a PDM is not recommended. For more information, check out our instructions PDF.
How do I control the output of the PSC?
You can control the PSC with an optional potentiometer, Trim pot, or using your own ECU or other PWM capable device. Our pre-made harnesses come configured for a potentiometer
Having control at your finger tips is great for on the fly adjustments of steering assist.
Going on a casual Sunday street drive? No problem, turn up the assist for easy driving. Track day where feeling every bump improves lap times? Turn it down a bit.
With optional ECU control the sky is the limit for automatic control strategy; Vehicle speed, steering angle or a combination of those and many others are possible.
Do you make a flying lead/pigtail for my application?
Yes - assembled in Canada by our in-house team, and only made with the best sourced connectors, wire and terminals and construction methods.
We currently have options for Dodge, Volvo and Mazda applications, check out our bundles for more information and to purchase!
What types of builds does the PSC work well in?
In our opinion, every build type is better with electric hydraulic or motor assisted power steering.
With electric power steering, you are removing the link between engine rpm and assist level. This usually results in cooler operation, consistent steering feel and even improved fuel economy.
Modern OEM technology in steering has come a long way in the past 15 years, and with our controller, you can take advantage of it in your Sunday cruiser hot rod, or dedicated race car.
There is some applications where flow demand can exceed the pump's capabilities, large off road racing trucks for example. Contact us if you're unsure if this solution is right for your build.
