Electric Power Steering Conversion for Porsche - Modern Steering Assistance
An Electric Power Steering (EPS) Conversion upgrades traditional hydraulic or manual steering systems to modern electric assistance, delivering lighter, more consistent steering without sacrificing control or feedback. Designed especially for classic and performance Porsche models, EPS conversions improve drivability while reducing engine load and ongoing maintenance.
Available from Design911, electric power steering conversion kits provide a discreet, reversible solution for enhancing steering comfort, particularly at low speeds, while preserving the character of the original steering system.
What Does an Electric Power Steering Conversion Do?
An EPS conversion replaces hydraulic assistance with electronically controlled steering support.
Core Functions:
- Reduce steering effort at low speeds and during manoeuvring.
- Provide consistent assistance independent of engine speed.
- Eliminate hydraulic pumps, hoses, and fluid.
- Reduce parasitic engine load and maintenance requirements.
- Improve drivability without altering steering geometry.
EPS systems are ideal for classic Porsche restorations, restomods, and daily-driven vehicles.
Why Do Electric Power Steering Systems Fail?
EPS systems are reliable but can fail due to electrical or mechanical factors.
Common Causes of Failure:
- Electrical connection or wiring faults.
- Control module or sensor malfunction.
- Incorrect installation or calibration.
- Excessive vibration or poor mounting.
- Age-related component degradation.
Proper installation and system compatibility are critical to long-term reliability.
When Should an Electric Power Steering Conversion Be Replaced or Serviced?
Replacement or servicing may be required to maintain safe and predictable steering assistance.
Replacement or Service Is Recommended When:
- Steering assistance becomes intermittent or inconsistent.
- Warning lights or system faults are present.
- Unusual noises or vibration are felt through the column.
- Vehicle usage changes significantly (performance or track focus).
- As part of a steering system overhaul or restoration project.
Regular inspection ensures continued performance and safety.
Key Benefits
- Lighter, more comfortable low-speed steering
- Reduced maintenance compared to hydraulic systems
- Improved efficiency with no engine-driven pump
- Ideal for classic Porsche upgrades and restorations
- Maintains original steering feel and geometry
