Hi,
I'm thinking of putting an EPS unit from a 07 HHR into a 1955 Willys. The PSCM on the unit has 4 wires that are for serial data. Two go to the BCM, two to the DLC. Is there a way to bypass the need for this input. If not, can I create something that will give an input that will allow the EPS to work.(ie. create a false signal) The Willys will be used off road and at low speed, so a higher torque setting would be desirable.

Thanks

Nice! I've been fantasizing about doing one of these kits:

But obviously it can be pretty cost prohibitive. I'd imagine you can pickup one in a junk yard pretty cheap from an HHR, Cobalt, Vue, G5/G6, etc as you have. Let us know if you get this figured out!
