Im looking at the S2000 electric steering rack to use in a custom car because its compact and has not separate pumps and what not. However if its to work with the suspension geometry some points need to be a certain distance. If anybody could help, and even if you have a manual rack, the points should be the same distance. But I need to know the length between the two knuckles inside the boots and the distance from tierod ends

Its a weird request but those points are really important when it comes to the suspension. If anybody has a rack laying around that they could measure for me that would be awesome.

 

If you look at that picture, the distance from where 13 and 1 are to its opposite side counterpart and then the distance from 16,17 to their opposite side counterpart.

 

To get this to work, you are going to have to feed the EPS computer several signals. RPM, VSS (4K PPM) as well as power.

 

Thats not my job thats the electric guys job, im just the intern whos job is to find a steering rack

 

Hey Intern, head over to the local Honda Dealership with a measuring tape. Ask nicely and tell them about your project "for school", and I'm sure they'll let you measure anything you need.

And dealerships don't normally carry steering racks so measuring one out of the car is out of the question unless i order 1.

 

Too bad. Good for you for taking some initiative and getting up from your keyboard!

Wonder if anyone has a rack lying around...

You might look at some of the threads of people who have done some crazy hybrid builds (F20c's in other cars, other engines in S2000s), or contact some of the people in a thread like this:
