I know several guys here have done the electric power steering conversion.

I'm up for doing the same soon and appreciate help!

If anyone can specify which pump from what vehicle I need, as well as wiring diagrams and pics of the fitment.

Thanks for all the help in advance

I wouldn't bother if I were you. Electric steering, or EPAS as it's known, is no good at giving feedback to the driver, unlike normal hydraulic PAS. Plus, if the ecu goes (a common problem on the Peugeot) they're very expensive to replace. Even Porsche, who have a very expensive system, have had complaints about the 'feel' of the steering. Don't believe the hype, the only genuine reason OEM's are putting EPAS on is to reduce CO2 emissions. It's just not worth it on an old car.

I think the only reason they use electric power steering these days is because it's cheaper the Hydraulic. In the past everything was hydraulic - and its way more reliable then electric and expensive of course! And I agree Electric Power Steering ruins all the feelings and have no response.

Use a peguet 106 pump or a saxo pump they are both the same
as for the steering feel it can be fixed if you have a stand alone ecu

Venom I don't have a standalone, I have a EMU. Can it still be done?

Are those pumps with the reservoir bottle remotely mounted or built in?

I'd prefer a built in reservoir bottle.
