Welcome. This is the RX-7 club, but I'll do what I can to help. You'll have to be clear in your responses. Which ecu did you replace? The power steering ecu or the main ecu with N3H6 on it? The steering angle sensor may need to be calibrated as it has likely lost its zero point. You have have to take the car to a dealer to reinitialize the power steering system and perform a zero point calibration.

He may not have access to any other sections outside of the new member section as of yet. Otherwise, that would be where his post would be directed.

RX8 EPS when EXU swapped

Hi, if you have Facebook contact Yury Baranov https://www.facebook.com/baryury he can provide an electronics board to wire in for any dash/EPS system following an engine swap, and definitely provides an RX8 Canbus dash adapter as I bought one from him after swapping my RX8 engine/ ECU to an FD REW motor and Haltech ECU. The EPS works fine.
