Now that the parts diagram for the 2022 T-Cat with EPS is up, curiosity has kicked in as to the possibility of updating previous years models with it. I am currently sitting on a 2019 that is fully updated to the 2020 suspension upgrades; like most tuned with afr/boost gauging etc etc, plus the labor to install everything, and in excellent condition with only 1350 miles on it. The cost of updates, mods, not to mention what it would cost to buy a 23 T-Cat; justifying letting it all go for EPS...not happening!!...especially since I'll be turning 61 very soon and building another one is not something I'm excited about as in the younger years. However, the age thing makes me think I'd like having the EPS.
The parts diagram shows all the brackets that hold the steering column in non EPS models to be the same. The EPS motor being part of the column looks to have two brackets added to hold it and, the column assembly is split between the upper section to the bars, the motor, and couplers down to the same mount brackets as non EPS. The front panel is a new part number which may have changed for mounting holes for 2 new brackets holding the motor???? Other change considerations would be powering the motor (wire harness) and is the motor controlled by the sleds ECM???....both could pose the biggest challenge to getting it in there at a reasonable cost. And nothing is reasonably priced when it come to sleds lol!!!!
Certainly others must be wondering if it can be upgraded to past sleds. Maybe someone in the know or with connections at Cat can chime in on what it would take to convert to the EPS.
