Hi Joff,
Been looking into doing the EPAS conversion while mine is off the road. Having obviously played about with it fairly extensively, in your opinion would the system fit with a normal mk2 nova dash? I'm gonna guess that maybe the fuse box would need relocating??
Simps.
Best person to speak to about this would be Martin Kelson - he's running the Epas with a mkII dash so would be able to give some more info as to what is needed and where you need to move stuff!
His user details are here :-

Also found a guy from Northern Ireland selliing EPAS control units that will vary the assistance - like the Harry Hockley kits but a lot cheaper . For one unit its ?110 - Harry Hockley charge +?200 !!!!

Cheers for that Joff.

Going to run EPS on mine too. Will be trial fitting it before sending the shell off.
You need to secure the motor to the bulkhead too with a metal strap as with the force it moves the whole unit.

Quick update .... been a bit busy in the run up to Christmas so not much really has happened!
Since the 25th I've managed to finish off the gear linkage which is now a hybrid of Nova / Corsa C and Rally Design quickshift. It took loads of tacking testing and repositioning to get right - but I now have all 6 forward and reverse gears - hurrah!

Also sourced a larger 60mm o.d tophat that can also run the turbo cover (wanted to keep that as I have a carbon fibre cover) ...

However the outer lip was quite a large step for the charge to pass .....

So I got the die grinder out and smoothed off the lip .....

Also sourced from Roose a 60mm to 50mm reducer which will work with the new tophat ....

Working more on the engine tomorrow

great work buy why have the 60mm tophat then reduce it staright down to 50???
prob a reason behind it but just curious?
more pics needed loving this thread!
Been busy sorting bits on the engine today.
Got the fuel rail on, wiring loom onto the injectors, throttle housing and gear linkage set up.
Also tried sorting the micro-switch for the NOS system. First attempt I mounted it here :-

However then realised I had not put in the throttle cable bracket so had to scrap that idea and come up with a different solution ....

Just need to hook up a fuel supply to the fuel soleniod and the supply line to the NOS soleniod and the Nos system is almost sorted as all the wiring is already in place!
The reason is more for practicality - I was previously using 50mm pipe and I have shed loads of 51mm Samco hosing so it seemed a waste to not use all this stuff.Quote:
