Hey guys, been reading on our cars eps unit system and found that there are NSX owners in Japan that convert their old early separated EPS control unit and power unit to the integrated NA2 unit that uses only torque sensor (39980-SL0-053) with a custom made harness. I'm very interested to do this upgrade but I'm just left with a few thoughts that I would like the NSX experts to fill in.
1.Problem is mine is a 93 auto that uses the gearbox AT control unit. I have read in a Japanese blog that the gearbox AT control unit exchanges signals to the EPS control/power unit for the EPS to function.
2. I do know the NA2 EPS system removed the rotational sensor and its only torque sensor driven but this upgrade works on the NA1 racks with as well.
3. My concern is since the new EPS unit does not have the rotational sensor, will it malfunction with the gearbox AT control unit since its missing the rotational sensor or the gearbox AT control unit only sends signals from the VSS to the EPS system? Am I thinking too much? Logically it doesn't make sense that the rotational sensor would have anything to do with the gearbox brain but 90s electronics are weird sometimes hmmm.
I really want to keep the EPS and if there's anyone wondering why did i not opt for the 95 eps unit that still runs both torque and rotational sensor is cause I plan to run the new EPS steering rack that only uses the torque sensor in the future as the 95 eps steering rack that uses both torque and rotational is no longer available to purchase. TIA
