Default Anyone know about corsa power steering ECU's ?

I have all the power steering sorted for my escort using a CorsaB power steering unit.

I am looking to find out some information on the ECU options...

either a purchased item or a modded OEM item...

Does anyone have any information on this ?

Yep, thats the simplest way.

It uses a variable resistor to set up a variable speed signal in the correct format for the column to understand, so by adjusting the resistance you can make it think its still in a corsa and doing various different speeds to give various different levels of assist.

I have seen the variable resistior item...looks like the easiest mod....

But are there any that work on the actual speed, as in have a speed sensor somewhere on the car ?

How much does the actual eps system go for then.

Might be worth my while looking into this whilst my car is in bits.

Linsay,
It will actually make it easier to do .

The steering (having driven it) is too slow and heavy to react in my opinion, and as I said to Steve at the time - power steering will MAKE the car .

Steve obviously has no problems, as for some reason he has a huge right arm . Someone did mention an extensive porn collection .

Who told you that - I didn't even come CLOSE, it's just when hanging the back out, it was very hard to counter-steer due to the weight of the steering . I still did it no bother, but it didn't feel pleasant to do, and as I said to you, if it had have stepped out at a really big angle, it's too heavy (IMO) to aid quick recovery .

Where's all the porn gone?

Yep, and we did not spin it ONCE. We got it sideways several times, but not ONCE did we spin, and if he says we did, then he's a lieing Scouse bastard .

No I spun the Dingaling-Skip at Brunters on purpose with Andy_R in the car......Mike didnt spin it he just had a couple of sideways moments with his restling with the STIFF wheel!!

I said to Andy.....let see how fast the arse end does actually come around.......stuck it in 2nd......planted the foot....boost came in & before we knew it we'd done a 360 on the corner after the plane on the left! LOL!

No, as soon as I realised how lame slow the steering was, I didn't push it as hard as I would have liked on the corners, as I knew I didn't have enough experience of the car to catch it if it went big time .
