EPS

>all the steering power comes from the electric motor. The steering wheel is a glorified knob with force feedback.
Well this now much more makes sense, but I think the technology should be improved more so it doesn't end up as laggy as 2000's Chrysler drive by wire. God that would be horrible.

>the type of power sterring system determines understeer/oversteer

Veeky Forums, why are you so stupid?

Alright now, I talked to someone who knows things.

Instead of hydraulics and valves in the rack, it's just a motor that assists in the direction of turn.

....I admit stupidity in that I thought the electric motor was replacing the hydraulic pump, not the entire system entirely. That would just be retarded.

EPAS and EHPAS are both things. Quite different things though

>previous car had a manual rack
>dat unfiltered road feel goodness
>current car is based on the same chassis, but now with pas

Already searching for a manual rack to fit. Even considered using the later versions' epas rack while keeping the manual column, and turn it into a quickrack (common mod on this car), but I feel it might be a bit too much for a car I'll rarely track, if at all. It's 3.7 turns lock to lock for the manual rack, and 2.7 for the epas one btw.

you could probably get a quick ratio pinion cut locally as the best solution

The EPS in the Dodge Dart is mechanically linked to the steering rack. You can pull a fuse for EPS or unplug the motor and you can still steer, though it's significantly more difficult.

There is no production car that has a fully-drive-by-wire steering system. That would be really stupid and unsafe, as in the event of a failure, steering would be impossible.

EPS is lighter, less complicated, does not parasitize the engine, does not require its own fluid reservoir, and steering feel and response can be customized through software. It is a wholly superior method.

But I guess you guys like the sound of squealing belts, leaking fluid, and the potential for catastrophic failure spraying a pint of flammable hydraulic fluid all over your engine bay.

Did you customise your steering through software?
I got a new Boxster and was wondering how to improve the steering, it's pretty dead. Nothing like my old 987.

I'm actually pretty happy with it, it feels much like my Logitech G29. The comparison of EPS to force feedback wheels is very apt. Road feel is very subtle, but I can still tell when I'm understeering. The consistency and accuracy of the system is demonstrated well if you turn to full lock and then try to roll forward without your hands on the wheel. It returns to center very quickly.

What I meant mostly is that the manufacturer has the ability to change the properties of the steering assist with a simple software update, whereas on a hydraulic system, major components of the rack would have to be changed.
