Number of wheel turns lock to lock?

Something like three or two and three quarters or 2 and 7/8 I believe A Prius rack on a project car you mean you want an electric rack You know the rack isnt electric the steering shaft is electrified there's a motor above your knees I'm guessing you know this so the input from the steering wheel goes through a motor assembly if you will right above your knees which turns a steering yolk which in turn turns the spleen shaft on the rack which moves the tie rod ends so it's essentially a manual rack so thinking a little backwards you might be able to take the steering shaft assembly and motor and the yolk and make that work to about anything you want within somewhat reason I imagine there's a weight limitation or something along that specifications for the motor and the steering effort and all of that stuff. You do know that TRW made a complete electric rack also not steer by wire or anything like that similar to the Toyota set up I do believe but I think it's all in the rack not in the steering column or shaft The guys that spend their time with the electronics on this car will be a long shortly to tell you something I'm sure but seems perfectly plausible to use in other carts etc I shouldn't really be an issue I'm not sure how much computer input and what not is needed or what exactly works the electric motor for the steering whether there's any computer aided business going on doesn't seem like it I've had a few of these in generation twos that do funny things It seems like the motor that's giving the steering boost is pretty cool it's like on some kind of geared shaft and if you have the wheels off the ground or if the car is on and ready you can move the steering wheel kind of quick and then backwards and you can feel gears kind of catching up with each other or something so there's something going on that provides some kind of feedback and all of this kind of business so then just fitting the steering column from a generation two or three Prius to whatever steering is already in the other vehicle If it's not power I guess or if this is a home built then it's not power the steering shaft should be able to turn your I assume rack in your built vehicle if all the splines will slip up.

 

The gen 1 steering rack had the motor and torque sensor integrated, if you wanted a one-piece option. But the torque sensor in that one was prone to flakiness.

 

I don't know that's a good one I don't know when the brushless column motor started Heck I would think the one that's in a generation too would probably be a brushless DC column motor but I have no way to guarantee it I don't want to take it apart looking for brushes. And brushless or not they seem to rarely fail as in the motor not working usually a bunch of slop develops or something weird like that goes on I don't think the brushless would help with that.

 

All you have to do is just look under the steering column then down literally and look up under the pedals and you'll see the round motor control system bolted right where the normal steering column bearing would be this thing replaces the steering column upper bearing and mount assembly and it bolts into the car almost in the same spacing You could fit this thing probably and a lot of what's already around and if you're building something custom the spacing should be very close to normal steering column mounts I don't think counting the lock to lock is going to tell me which steering system is in the car although I don't know what the straight up turns are on the regular power rack and pinion in like say a Corolla s which is the sport model I would imagine somewhere around 2.5 2.7 turns but maybe more
