Update:

With S2000 rack working I’m looking in to other options that would be good fit as it’s much harder to find JDM rack then USDM.  I had my eye on TSX rack and few newer ones but due to canbus they will not work.  The steering rack has integrated canbus controller that is looking for VSS signal on canbusF network.  Surprisingly that is the only thing its accessing, I thought maybe it will use yaw control signal or steering angle from steering wheel but no, it only goes after Vehicle Speed signal (VSS) over canbus, rpm, is still accessed using direct connection to ECU not over canbus.


So to work around it I found canbus module that as input is using GPS signal and sends VSS over canbusB, it’s great idea because the VSS would always be true even when tire sizes change but it’s canbus type B and honda is communicating on faster Type F, so good try bot no go.  I’ll continue to see if I can either convert VSS from analog to canbus or use GPS signal as source and send VSS over canbus to newer steering rack.

Now this leaves only with the other rack from accord hybrid as the only option.  Accord hybrid has almost identical mechanics/controller as the S2000 JDM but different steering ratio.  With a lot of interest from you guys I’ll be building the accord rack in the next 3-4 weeks so stay tuned for updates.
